Volkswagen e-Golf hatchback pictures

The Volkswagen e-Golf is une of the most unsuspecting electric cars you can buy

It looks almost indistinguishable from its conventional petrol and diesel stablemates

.... and it drives similarly, too

It has a slightly firmer ride than other Golfs, but handles just as neatly

Its 134bhp electric motor gives it loads of pulling power from a standstill

The e-Golf doesn't feel out of its depth on motorways, either

It's a comfortable, quiet way for a small family to travel

C-shape daytime running lights distinguish the front end of the e-Golf

Audi-style scrolling indicators were introduced during a 2017 update

The e-Golf lettering is one of the main giveaways that this isn't an ordinary Golf

Inside, the e-Golf is barely different from its petrol or diesel sisters

As a range-topping model, the e-Golf gets a driver-configurable Active Information Dispay

Volkswagen's latest 9.2-inch infotainment system is also fitted

It can provide systems information about the e-Golf's electric power supply...

...as well as the sat nav and auto features you'd expect

The gear selector looks like a conventional automatic, but offers a number of additional modes

Plugging in will give you 186 miles after a full charge....

...and a 45 minute fast charge will boost the battery back to 80%
