Local pricing for the eagerly awaited Golf 7 GTI has been revealed ahead of the local launch this week.
The model line-up will initially comprise two offerings – a six-speed manual and a six-speed DSG. At present, the pricing is as follows:
Golf GTI 2,0 TSI MT – R368 300
Golf GTI 2,0 TSI AT – R382 800
Among the optional extras on offer are:
| Metallic / Pearlescent Paint | R900 |
| Panoramic Sunroof (Tilt & Slide) | R9 000 |
| Manually Foldable Towbar | R4 000 |
| Bi-Xenon headlights package | R9 600 |
| Keyless entry | R4 600 |
| High beam assist “Light Assist” | R1 050 |
| Park Distance Control (Front & Rear) | R3 050 |
| Parallel parking assistant “Park Assist” with PDC | R6 350 |
| “Rear Assist” rear view camera | R3 000 |
| Adaptive chassis control incl. driving profile selection | R10 200 |
| Mobile device interface Media-In with iPod/iPhone adapter cable | R850 |
| “Discover Pro” Radio with Satellite Navigation, USB & Bluetooth | R18 350 |
| DynAudio 300W Excite system | R8 200 |
The new GTI is powered by a 2,0-litre turbocharged, direct injection four-cylinder engine of the EA888 series, and features a new cylinder head design. It delivers 162 kW over a wide range from 4 500 to 6 200 r/min and 350 N.m of torque from 1 500 to 4 400 r/min. I drove a test unit equipped with the marque’s six-speed DSG transmission, and for this model VW claims a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 6,4 seconds and a 244 km/h top speed. The cheaper six-speed manual model is 0,1 seconds slower to 100 km/h but has a higher top speed (246 km/h).
A Performance Edition model, featuring a power hike up to 169 kW and a limited-slip differential, will reportedly join the line-up at a later date.
