Report 5 VW e-Golf

-

We need to talk about the e-Golf’s ride. Because it is exquisite. Tall tyres, suspension that’s not trying to do anything other than smother and soak. Just glorious. The e-Golf progresses silently and softly down any road. It’s a facet of the car’s performanc­e you only notice when you think about it, one of those quiet satisfacti­ons that’s entirely in keeping with the way this electric car goes about its business. Suspension noise is beautifull­y insulated, too. There’s a maxim among vehicle dynamics engineers that what’s good for ride is also good for handling. It’s one that seems to be ignored all too often, but there’s a real harmony to the e-Golf’s handling as well as its ride. I really love this car.
