In the past year, Volkswagen successfully continued its transformation into a sustainable, software-oriented mobility concern and, compared to the previous year, almost doubled the sale of battery electric vehicles (to 452,900 vehicles). The share of these vehicles in the total volume of sales was 5.1 percent (previous year: 2.5 percent).

Slovenia is determined to follow in the footsteps of Norway, Iceland and Great Britain. Countries that clearly encourage the transition to e-mobility. This is also indicated by the latest move by the DZ upon the adoption of an amendment to the VAT Act, which allows electric vehicles used for business purposes to deduct VAT. But is this enough for a quick green transition?
Skoda dropped the Rapid in Europe a few years ago, replacing it with the much more sophisticated Scala. In Russia, the model is still on sale after a major overhaul. As far as India is concerned, the affordable family car was recently discontinued to make way for a novelty – the Skoda Slavia. Unfortunately, we will not see it on the Slovenian market.
Volkswagen presented its new electric trump card, which is a slightly different sibling of the ID.4 model.
In the last few years, there have been more and more rumors that the Volkswagen concern will soon be ahead of the American Tesla when it comes to selling electric cars. After all, they have several car brands under their belt (Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda), in addition to a larger selection of models and, after all, also several plants that manufacture electric cars. Do you think this will be enough to take over the leadership?
Also at Volkswagen, they presented their view of the near future, in which electric cars will be more fun and more attainable. Concept Volkswagen ID. LIFE is an introduction to more accessible electrification, and it will hit the roads in 2025.
The Volkswagen Polo, a bestseller in Slovenia, would once again hit the roads in the GTI version. The one that will make the heart of all car classic lovers skip a beat. So a legendary city car with a legendary acronym.
Since the first presentation of the Golf GTI, it has changed significantly. But it is still the Golf of the second generation (Mk 2) that has firmly anchored itself in the hearts of car enthusiasts. The wheel manufacturer BBS and Volkswagen share the same opinion, and together they have come up with a very special ʺretroʺ concept.
The new Volkswagen Golf R Variant has everything found in the hatchback model, but adds even more practicality to the combination, in the form of a larger trunk and a roof sled.
Just over two months ago, the redesigned Volkswagen Polo was presented, but without its most interesting GTI version. In a somewhat unusual way, through an announcement on the LinkedIn platform, we got to see the presentation of the coiled Polo.
The new Volkswagen Multivan T7 has been in the works for quite a few years, but it has finally seen the light of day. The striking design coincides with that seen on cars from the ID family. The new generation is ready for electricity, in the form of a plug-in hybrid.
