In terms of popularity, the VW Passat GTE was first with 27,200 units, followed by the Audi Q5 Plug-In Hybrid with 23,500, and the E-Hybrid versions of the Porsche Cayenne with 21,500 units. The Skoda Superb iV was next with 16,400 cars, while in fifth place came the electrified VW Golf.<\/p>\n<p>The VW Group is preparing to introduce some important EVs this year, including the hotly anticipated <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2020\/12\/20\/2022-audi-e-tron-gt-teaser\/\">Audi E-Tron GT<\/a> as a sister model of the Porsche Taycan. Speaking of Audi, the Q4 E-Tron and sleeker Q4 E-Tron Sportback are also expected in 2021, along with the Skoda Enyaq GT, a hotter version of the VW ID.4, and the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo wagon.<\/p>\n<p>All these new EV arrivals are part of the VW Group&#8217;s master plan to become carbon neutral by 2050 to respect the Paris Agreement it has signed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Volkswagen Group<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020 was a rough year for the vast majority of automakers as the disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic took their toll on new car sales.
