Volkswagen R series has always been a sports performance brand, including golf R (parameters | inquiry) that we are familiar with. A few days ago, it was reported that Volkswagen R series would be fully electrified by 2030, and planning has started.

In the next five years when the R series will be fully electrified, all models of the Volkswagen brand sold in Europe will be electrified in 2035, and the sale of fuel vehicles will be banned in Europe at that time.

Volkswagen officially said that it is gradually converting its products. There are already pure electric R series models in the planning stage. Volkswagen is evaluating the feasibility, but it is certain that R series will be pure electric in the future.

This means that Volkswagen ID. series may launch R series models. Thomas Ulbrich, the research and development director of Volkswagen, hinted last year that he would launch ID. 4 R. Of course, any ID. series pure electric vehicle model in the future may launch R series models, such as ID AERO。

For example, Golf R, Tiguan R, etc., the R series products may be updated when these models launch electric models. In the future, the R series models will use the pure electric SSP platform launched by Volkswagen Group, and will draw on the advanced technology of the historical models.
