2024 Volkswagen Golf GTE review
It might not look as angry as a GTI but VW’s GTE is all but as quick and is also capable of seriously low fuel use. Sometimes vehicles happen along and you wonder why you’re driving them. So it was with Volkswagen Golf’s GTE, a plug-in hybrid. Are we driving it because the Golf has just turned 50? Kind of, yes.
