2017 Volkswagen e-Golf vs Leaf vs Focus Electric vs Fiat 500e

Combining the iconic VW Golf's stylish design, fun-to-drive nature and hatchback versatility with a fully-electric powertrain, the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf is an excellent choice for eco-minded compact car shoppers. In this 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf vs Leaf vs Focus Electric vs Fiat 500e comparison, we analyze a number of factors to show how the new e-Golf favorably stacks up against the compact electric car competition. Compact electric cars typically don't have a reputation for high-level performance, but the 2017 e-Golf absolutely defies expectations. For nearly all of the metrics for measuring electric motor output, the new e-Golf easily outmuscles the competition. It's updated electric motor now generates an output of 100kW, while delivering 134 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the torque output for the Leaf, Focus Electric and Fiat 500e is 187, 184 and 147 lb-ft respectively. The impressive torque results in excellent acceleration for the e-Golf, with it achieving the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 9.6 seconds. The e-Golf is also equipped with the XDS Cross Differential System, which helps give it excellent handling and cornering performance.

Advantages and Benefits of 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf

A common concern for electric cars is "range anxiety," but the e-Golf helps alleviate this concern with its boost in range for the 2018 model-year. It now can achieve up to 125 miles of range on a full charge, compared to 107, 115 and 84 miles for the Leaf, Focus Electric and Fiat 500e. The e-Golf is more efficient as well, with EPA-estimated efficiency ratings of 125 city/119 hwy MPGe, compared to 124/101, 118/96 and 121/103 MPGe for the Leaf, Focus Electric and Fiat 500e. The 2017 e-Golf also features three driving profiles designed to preserve energy use — Normal, Eco and Eco+ — and a regenerative braking system can be used to help manage the vehicle's range.

Another strength of the 2017 e-Golf is its wide array of advanced technologies. This includes the MIB II infotainment system, VW-Car Net and keyless access with push-button start. Also, all e-Golf models are equipped with a new glass-covered 8.0-inch touchscreen display, which offers better color reproduction, response time and improved viewing angles. On the safety front, the e-Golf features the standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System and Intelligent Crash Response System and available Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking.
