Volkswagen Golf GTE 1.4 TSI DSG – A Plug-In Hybrid That Balances Power and Efficiency The Volkswagen Golf GTE is a compelling proposition for drivers seeking the perfect blend of performance, economy, and everyday practicality. This 2021 model, with just 17,100 miles on the clock, offers a modern take on the iconic Golf formula, enhanced by plug-in hybrid technology and sporty styling. Registered as FY71WNG, this vehicle is available now at Marshall Volkswagen Scunthorpe, priced competitively at £23,971. Powertrain and Performance Under the bonnet lies a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 109bhp electric motor, delivering a combined output of 242bhp and 295lb-ft of torque1. This setup is mated to a 6-speed DSG automatic gearbox, ensuring smooth and responsive gear changes. The GTE accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds, with a top speed of 140 mph2. The plug-in hybrid system is powered by a 13kWh battery, offering an electric-only range of up to 30 miles under real-world conditions. This makes it ideal for short commutes or city driving, where zero-emissions motoring is both economical and environmentally friendly. When the battery is depleted, the petrol engine takes over seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted driving. One of the standout features of the Golf GTE is its low CO? emissions, rated at just 27g/km, making it highly attractive for company car drivers due to its low Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate of 7%1. Fuel economy is impressive, with a combined figure of 45.6 mpg when operating without battery assistance2. The car’s 40-litre fuel tank and hybrid efficiency allow for a total range of approximately 401 miles, making it suitable for longer journeys as well. While the GTE is marketed as a performance-oriented hybrid, it’s more of a refined cruiser than a hot hatch. The extra weight from the battery pack slightly dulls the handling compared to the GTI, but the car remains composed and comfortable through corners. The front-wheel-drive setup provides predictable dynamics, and the electric motor adds instant torque for brisk acceleration. The suspension strikes a good balance between sportiness and comfort, absorbing road imperfections with ease. The regenerative braking system helps recharge the battery during deceleration, adding to the car’s overall efficiency. Interior and Technology Inside, the Golf GTE offers a premium and sporty cabin. Highlights include: Tartan sports seats with heated front functionality Heated leather steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls Three-zone climate control Purchasing a new vehicle can sometimes be a very stressful process, not with Marshall Volkswagen.
