I'm not sure why you would expect it to have an edge; the Leaf has a 24kWh battery and the eGolf has 24.2kWh. I was personally expecting a small improvement in efficiency, but less than 5% (maybe 4 miles). Yes, we are all waiting for the next generation of batteries. When it arrives, though...

Ron, Which two dealers did you contact? I'm also in NY, and am very curious as to when I might be able to at least test drive this car. I am currently leasing a Leaf, though, so I wouldn't be looking to pick up an eGolf until next spring. It's never too early to look, though.

Welcome! I hear you. I'm leasing a Leaf myself, considering an eGolf to replace it. I really want a GTE, but for now that is for Europe only... The rep at NYIAS told me the eGolf will be here in November. As much as I don't want to rush summer, I can't wait to get behind the wheel of one.

A VW representation at the NYIAS told me that it costs a lot of money to qualify a model for import. What she didn't say (but I already knew) is that VW has to sell the e-Golf in the US to meet CARB requirements. This suggests to me that maybe VW decided it wasn't worth bringing both to the...

Overall, a promising review. This statement has me a little concerned, though. I was hoping that the e-Golf might have a tighter, sportier feel than my Leaf, making it a compelling upgrade option.

Still no official US range, although I'm not sure how much it matters. It has the same battery size as the Leaf, I doubt the efficiency will vary by more than 5-10%. So I expect it to be 80-90 miles on the Monroney sticker. To me, the much more important factor is price. I hope it is...
