Autobytel Road-Test Editor Benjamin Hunting recently made a trip to sunny California to test drive the full line up of 2015 Volkswagen Golf Mk7. The German automaker had everything on hand from the ever popular GTI hot hatch to the all new entry level Golf TSI. For those looking for alternative fuel options, VW also had a new TDI diesel powered Golf as well as the next generation battery powered zero emission eGolf.

The Volkswagen GTI will be the first Golf variant to hit our shores. This hatchback has been given a completely new platform, more powerful engine, and exterior makeover. The 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder now makes 210 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of torque. This 2015 model is sure to become the hottest hatchback. The MSRP should be around $25,000.

One of the bigger changes that Volkswagen has made with this new Golf is in pricing. Each model is a few thousand dollars cheaper than the last generation in an attempt to attract new consumers. Gone is the 2.5 liter 5-cylinder which has been replaced by a more potent 1.8 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder.

One of the more exotic Golf variants is not coming to the U.S. until 2015. The eGolf at its core this vehicle is just a battery and electric motor placed into a Golf chassis. The range will be about 80-90 miles on a standard charge in normal driving. The electric motor produces 115 horsepower which is plenty. The great thing about the eGolf is there are no compromises. You get everything that a normal Golf would have just that this car is all electric.
