One of the largest introductions from the German carmaker to India will be the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Prior to that, the hot hatch was just spotted—and unmasked—on our beaches for the first time. The Golf GTI will be offered in limited quantities and sold in India through the CBU (completely built unit) approach.
What’s We Saw In The Spy Shot?
We could clearly see the profile of the India-spec Golf GTI in the spy photo. It was seen with red-painted brake calipers, all-wheel disc brakes, and five-spoke alloy wheels. Additionally, we get a peek of the LED tail lights at the back and a ‘GTI’ emblem on the front door. Additionally, it rides lower than a regular Golf, which gives it a more aggressive posture.
More About Design
It has a front bumper with an aggressive honeycomb mesh pattern, a streamlined grille with the ‘VW’ mark positioned in the center, and matrix LED headlights. Additionally, there is a twin exhaust system and a stylish diffuser at the back.
Cabin And Features
The interior of the Golf GTI is completely black, with sport seats covered in tartan and a tiered dashboard design. It also has a three-spoke steering wheel with the “GTI” emblem and metallic pedals. A fully digital instrument cluster designed specifically for the GTI, a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless phone charging, auto air conditioning, and ambient lighting are among its features. Electronic stability control (ESC), level 2 advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), all-wheel disc brakes, and six airbags will ensure passenger safety.
A Powerful Turbo-petrol Engine
A 2-liter turbo-petrol engine that produces an incredible 265 PS and 370 Nm will power the Golf GTI. The front wheels of this hatchback are driven by a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It has a top speed of 250 kmph and can sprint from nought to 100 kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
Expected Price And Rivals
Given that it is an entirely imported product, the Golf GTI is anticipated to start around Rs 52 lakh (ex-showroom). The Mini Cooper S and the Golf GTI will compete in India.
