The German manufacturer, Volkswagen launched the GTI in 2016 at a price above Rs 25 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi. However with the new tax structure, the German hot hatch is now priced at Rs 19.99 lakh ex-showroom Delhi.
The Volkswagen GTI is brought to India via CBU (Completely Built-up Unit) route. However, only 99 units of the hot hatch were allotted to the Indian market and the Volkswagen GTI was exclusively available in select Volkswagen showrooms across India.
On the exterior, the German hatch looks very similar to its younger sibling, the VW Polo. However, the GTI is a three-door hatchback unlike the Polo, which is a five-door hatch. Up front, the GTI gets the iconic honey comb grille with a ‘GTI’ badge and red accents to highlight its sporty nature.
Under the hood is a 1.8-litre TSI motor which produces 189bhp and 250Nm of torque. The front wheel drive engine is coupled to a seven speed DSG gearbox.
As an enthusiast, if you have always craved to own the fastest hatch back in the country, now is the right time to crack that deal.
