The management of the Czech representation of Volkswagen has confirmed to us that the start of orders is planned for this or next week. And we know the first prices.
The eighth generation of the Volkswagen Golf GTI, in combination with a six-speed manual transmission, will start at CZK 832,990. Those interested in a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission will then have to reach a little deeper in their pockets – the price should start at CZK 892,900.

The facelifted seven-seater Golf GTI started at a price of CZK 692,900, while the version with DSG started from the amount of CZK 752,900.
It is worth mentioning the power unit of the new Golf GTI, which is a turbocharged 2.0 TSI four-cylinder petrol engine (EA888 evo4 series), which offers a maximum output of 180 kW (245 hp) and 370 Nm of torque. XDS differential lock and we will also see an optional adaptive chassis.

Production of the GTI with the DSG transmission should start within the 34th week of this year (ie already in the next week), while we will have to wait until the 44th week (from October 26) for the production of the version with the manual. Unfortunately, we do not currently have more information about the hybrid GTE and the diesel GTD.
