According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.”
You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.
Leaf and Bolt are about it. There are bigger hatchback vehicles like the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq5, but they are more SUV like. There was an electric VW Golf and a Mitsubishi, but they had really limited range. I am definitely the target market for the electric GTI - I have owned two Leafs and have purchased both of them even though I preferred the gas GTI driving experience more.
