Reviews SummaryRange anxiety continues to fade as consumers begin to realize that 100 miles will serve them just fine for more than 90% of driving. With the Nissan Leaf upping its total estimated range to 107 miles, the e-Golf is suddenly behind the times just 2 years into production with an EPA-estimated range of 83 miles. But it has come back for 2016 with a lower-priced base trim that’s been decontented to make up for the more attractive price point, plus a new infotainment system offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. | |
