Differences between 2016 eGolf SE and SEL

[saintforlife]

Here are the differences I am aware of between the SE and the SEL models for 2016:

SE vs SEL:
- Halogen vs LED headlights
- Cloth vs leatherette seats
- No parking sensor vs parking sensor
- 6.5" touch screen infotainment system vs 8" screen
- No navigation vs navigation
- DC fast charge is an option vs DC fast charge standard
- Resistive vs Heat pump? (not sure about this one)

Both models come with back-up camera, app connect and car net as standard.

Can you guys let me know if I have this right?

leather steering wheel, multfunction steering wheel with cruise control. Go to VW website and pull them up side by side for a comparison. Or go down to your dealership and get an e-Golf brochure, and look near the back of the booklet.

Page 8 of this PDF has an SE vs. SEL feature matrix:

There's no mention of heat pump vs. resistive-only heating, so I'm inclined to believe the SE and SEL do the same thing. (They both have air conditioning, after all...)

The thing I'm most curious about if there is a difference in how the cabin is heated is if there's a difference in how the cabin is cooled.

I think it was the early Leafs that only had resistive heating and they were more efficient on cooling than their heat-pump siblings due to having a dedicated A/C unit.

Charger is twice as fast on SEL

Charger is twice as fast on SEL

Unless you get the SE with 7.2 kw charger package with DC fast charging option on the SE, about $1500 - 1600. About $31,500 MSRP.
