Volkswagen shifts Golf production focus toward Mexico and hybrid technology

Volkswagen is planning to centralize global production of combustion-engine Golf models at its Puebla plant in Mexico starting in 2027. This strategic move is expected to free up the Wolfsburg plant for electric vehicle production, such as the ID. 3. There is growing anticipation regarding the potential arrival of a hybrid version of the Golf in the Mexican market by 2027, which would utilize a 1.5L TSI evo2 engine paired with an electric system.

In the European market, Fiat is promoting the Fiat Tipo Sedan to clear existing stock. The current offering features a 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine producing 130 CV, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The vehicle is positioned as a practical family sedan with a 520-liter trunk capacity.
