VW recently introduced a redesigned edition of the Golf GTI, and the German company announced that the order book has officially opened. This is the most expensive version of the Golf, which starts at 44,505 euros in the basic version.

The Golf GTI is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine with 262 horsepower (Europe-spec), which is 21 hp more than its predecessor. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, instead of the previous 6-speed manual transmission, which is no longer an option. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h.

When it comes to design, the new GTI comes with new LED Plus headlights as standard and an illuminated Volkswagen logo. Matrix IQ.LIGHT LED headlights are also available, but as an option. Even the LED taillights now get a new light signature.

Inside, the spacious cabin is equipped with sports seats with red stitching and the GTI logo embroidered on the backrest, Digital Cockpit Pro digital instruments, a 12.9-inch multimedia screen, and temperature adjustment controls that are now illuminated, and the voice assistant now also integrates ChatGPT.

It’s mounted on 17-inch rims, but buyers can opt for larger 18-inch rims (€705), 19-inch (€865), and Queenstown rims for €1,630.
