Volkswagen has officially introduced the Golf GTI in India, marking the launch of this legendary performance hatchback in the country. Priced at ₹53 lakh (ex-showroom), the Golf GTI is imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) in limited quantities to maintain exclusivity.
Engine and performance
The Golf GTI is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 265 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. The sporty hatchback delivers impressive performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, with a top speed electronically restricted to 250 km/h.
Exterior styling
Sporty yet refined, the Golf GTI’s exterior showcases a honeycomb grille accented in red, an illuminated Volkswagen emblem, Matrix LED headlights, and X-shaped LED fog lamps. The car rolls on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and is offered in four color options: Grenadilla Black, Kings Red, Moonstone Grey, and Oryx White.
Interior highlights
The cabin of the Golf GTI is both premium and sporty. It features a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with ChatGPT-enabled voice commands, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with a red GTI badge. The seats sport a tartan fabric pattern, complemented by wireless charging, three-zone climate control, paddle shifters, and customizable ambient lighting with 30 color options.
Safety and tech features
Safety comes first with seven airbags, a rear-view camera, tire pressure monitoring, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The vehicle is also equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and rear traffic alert.
Availability
The Golf GTI is expected to be available for delivery starting June 2025 at select Volkswagen dealerships in major Indian cities. Due to limited stock, interested buyers are advised to contact their nearest showroom to book or inquire further.
