"While we don’t know how Schäfer defines “a true GTI,” the report adds that the electric GTI will remain front-wheel-drive."

"The ID.2 will be the tip of the electric hot hatch iceberg. Beyond the Golf GTI, the portfolio will ultimately grow to include an electric successor to the Golf R that will retain the current car’s all-wheel-drive layout."

"Auto Express adds that Volkswagen will continue to update the current, eighth-generation Golf through the end of the decade. There’s no word yet on whether that means the current GTI will live on until 2030."

Where are potential EV Golf competitors at regarding range? I'm not too familiar with the EV hatchback segment tbh.
