V0lkswagen is now offering a more affordable version of its fully-electric e-Golf.
The German automaker has announced the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition that will be priced from $34,270 including destination – nearly $2,000 less than the SEL model.
The all-electric hatch will also be available as a lease at $229 a month plus applicable fees.
Powered by a 24.2-kWh lithium-ion battery, the e-Golf produces 115 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque while achieving 126 MPGe in the city and 105 MPGe on the highway and has an estimated range of 83 miles on a single charge.

So where did Volkswagen cut corners to offer a cheaper variant? According to the company, the e-Golf Limited Edition changes compared to the SEL Premium model include 16-inch steel wheels instead of aluminum-alloys, halogen headlights instead of LED units, cloth instead of leatherette seating in the cabin and removal of the heat-pump system.
Standard features that do carry over include DC Fast Charging capability, keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED daytime running lights, Climatronic dual-zone climate control system, electronic parking brake, electrically-heated windshield, automatic headlights and wipers, rearview camera and front and rear Park Distance Control.
