Is the Golf 1. TSI a hybrid?
Diesel isn’t for everyone, though, and happily the 148bhp 1. TSI’ mild-hybrid – which is the one fitted to this car and the one that won an award in Towcar of the Year 2025 – does a stellar job of towing a 1,200-1,300kg caravan. We think the non-hybrid 148hp 1. TSI strikes a better balance between performance and efficiency. It matches the 148hp 1. TSI for torque but costs significantly less to buy new. If you cover a lot of miles.
