Price difference between the most popular fuel options for VW Golf Cabriolet:

In the process of choosing a fuel type, don’t overlook the importance of your driving habits. Do you find yourself driving more in urban settings or on open highways and expressways? How much distance do you travel in an average week?

Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. In a few cases with long journeys and limited charging infrastructure, diesel can be a practical solution. Take into account that several countries restrict high-emission diesel engines from their city zones.
