It’s not only the range which has been hiked, but the power, too. Add together the car’s 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor, and the GTE’s total punch now stands at a hot hatch-like 268bhp. Consequently, it is very quick off the line, dispatching 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds to be precise.
As before, the GTE apes its GTI brother in the styling department, with a large honeycomb front grille and smart 17-inch alloys, while blue trim replaces the GTI’s red across the nose. And, as it’s the updated version, there’s a front light bar and illuminated VW badge.
The Mk8.5 version of the Golf saw a host of interior upgrades, including some much needed backlighting for the infotainment and climate controls, and the return of physical buttons on the steering wheel. Standard equipment was also improved, with heated front seats and ambient lighting thrown in.
