Volkswagen electrifies Europe's most successful car
As always, entire drive system is a Volkswagen development
Zero-emission e-Golf glides through the day for around €3.30** per 100 km
Electric Golf is also available with high-tech assistance systems
Volkswagen is electrifying Europe's most successful car ever: the Golf. The best seller with sales of over 30 million units to its name thus marches on to become the e-Golf with a drive technology that delivers zero tailpipe emissions. Both agile and efficient, the electric car demonstrates best-in-class qualities from the off, leading the way with a low energy consumption figure of 12.7 kWh/100 km. The Volkswagen car's very innovative technology, improved aerodynamics (cD = 0.281) and optimised rolling resistance make it 10 percent more energy-efficient than the best direct competitor made of steel. Along with the all-important environmental aspect, the virtually silent e-Golf boasts extremely low running costs in everyday use. Energy costs are approximately €3.30** per 100 kilometres. This Volkswagen is a very safe and comfortable electric car, because practically all of the driver assistance systems in this model series – innovations such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and City Emergency Braking – are not just available in the conventionally powered models, but in the e-Golf as well.

General smartwatch integration The Volkswagen Car-Net app e-Remote will be made available in first countries, including for a wide variety of smartwatches, in 2015. Drivers of an e-up!, e-Golf, Golf GTE or the future Passat GTE can use e-Remote to control various vehicle functions; so far this has been done via smartphone. Starting in November, smartwatches will also be incorporated into this remote control of electric and plug-in hybrid modules. A smartwatch can be used to check the status of doors (locked or not), the parking lights (on/off) and the last parked position (address). This app also reminds the driver when the parking meter will expire. It will also be possible to start or stop air conditioning of the interior and charging of the battery. The range of app functions will gradually be enlarged. The app will be offered for the Apple Watch and all watches with the "Android Wear" operating systems (e.g. Asus, LG, Motorola and Sony) and "Samsung Tizen" (Samsung). Volkswagen highlights at 2015 CES Asia: Golf R Touch Volkswagen is equipping its show car in Shanghai with the controls of tomorrow. The high-performance of its computers, the brilliance of today's displays and the recognition of precise human gestures are merging into a new interface generation here. In the Golf R Touch concept vehicle, Volkswagen is presenting an infotainment system that incorporates gesture control as a consistent next development step that is based on current thinking in the area of intuitive control. All it takes is a hand movement in the space in front of the infotainment display of the Golf to make human and machine interact as one. Volkswagen is thereby extending touchscreen operation into a third dimension. The development team for the Golf R Touch pursued the goal of developing an interior and infotainment concept that would fulfill seemingly contradictory
