The eighth generation of the Golf will undergo a facelift next year and the new generation of the Tiguan crossover should also be unveiled. It will probably be the last with internal combustion engines.

The Volkswagen brand is “exploring how to transfer icons like the Golf or Tiguan into the electric future,” Blume was heard to say at the December meeting. From 2033, the carmaker wants to produce only electric cars in Europe.

Blume also spoke about Volkswagen Group developing autonomous mobility in China for use in the Chinese market and currently working to ramp up production of the ID.4 electric car for the US market at a factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee . He is also looking for local suppliers for this production.
