MQB
Modularer QuerbaukastenMQB (Modularer Querbaukasten) is Volkswagen Group's transverse combustion platform, used among others under the Golf. The e-Golf is its electric version: the same body and the same servicing as a regular Golf, with the battery fitted where the tank and centre tunnel would normally sit. Rapid charging via CCS is standard but modest, which makes the e-Golf above all a commuter car. The ID.3 on MEB took its place.
MQB is the EV platform of Volkswagen Group, in production since 2014, with a 400V architecture. The MQB platform carries 1 model from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on MQB is 233 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
