The Volkswagen Golf GTE is one car in the triple-threat that is the Golf GT range, the new updated hybrid hot hatch joins the new facelifted traditional petrol powered GTI and the diesel GTD. With a 0-62mph time of 7.6sec the hybrid is the least potent of the set, but if the GTE displays any of the attributes that make the sporty Golfs so popular - a refined and capable chassis being the most obvious - then it certainly shouldn't be discounted. Date of first registration: 08/06/2017. Number of keys: 2. RAC approved vehicle. 1 years basic RAC cover.
