Volkswagen India has finally launched the new Golf GTI in the Indian market. The hot hatch is priced at Rs 52.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and will be bought in India via the CBU route. This positions it as the highest-priced VW model on sale in the country and the first 150 units are already sold out. The deliveries are scheduled to commence in June through select VW dealerships across India.
The Golf GTi is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine which puts out 265 hp of power and 370Nm torque. It comes paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, which sends power to the front wheels only. VW claims the sporty hatchback can sprint from 0-100kph in 5.9 seconds and has a top speed of 267 kph.
In terms of design, the Golf GTI looks like a typical Volkswagen with sleek lines and sharp looks. The front end features a sleeker LED light signature with a redesigned bumper and a more aggressive honeycomb grille with GTI badging. At the rear, subtle updates include a tweaked diffuser and refreshed taillights, maintaining the car’s dynamic stance. The overall silhouette stays true to the Golf’s timeless hatchback shape, but with sharper lines and aerodynamic enhancements for a sportier look.
Other design highlights include matrix LED headlights, a streamlined grille with the iconic ‘VW’ emblem at the centre, a bold front bumper with a honeycomb mesh pattern, 18-inch alloy wheels, a dynamic diffuser, and a dual exhaust system at the rear and GTI badges on the grille, fenders, and tailgate.
The Golf GTI features signature GTI elements, such as the classic tartan-patterned sport seats, red contrast stitching, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel with GTI badging. Other key highlights include multi-colour ambient lighting, soft-touch materials, metal-finished pedals and a cabin that strikes a balance between modern technology and classic GTI heritage, ensuring both performance-oriented appeal and everyday comfort. Features wise, it gets a 12.9-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, connected car tech, Chat GPT integration, connected car tech, automatic climate control, 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and emergency braking, Head-Up Display, VAQ Limited-Slip Differential, Drive Modes and more.
