The facelifted Volkswagen Golf range is set to launch in South Africa in the coming days, and we’ve managed to secure pricing for the popular GTI model (UPDATE: find pricing for other Golf models here).
The latest version of the venerable Golf GTI makes 169 kW (up from 162 kW) and 350 N.m from its 2,0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is mated exclusively to a six-speed DSG transmission (VW SA has killed off the manual versions of the GTI).
Standard features will include LED headlamps, high-beam control assist, app-connect and voice control. And the price? Well, according to information we have received, the updated Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI will retail for R545 800, which represents an increase of some R42 700 over the pre-facelift DSG derivative.
What about the rest of the range? Well, we already know that the new 81 kW 1,0-litre TSI variant will serve as the entry-level model (priced from R289 900), featuring a manual gearbox and Trendline specification.
But there’s no word yet on pricing for models that use the 92 kW 1,4-litre TSI engine that will essentially be carried over from the outgoing range (SA won’t be getting the new, cleaner 1,5-litre TSI … and here’s why) nor for those drawing urge from the 81 kW 2,0-litre TDI.
We’ll have to wait for the 130 kW GTD and 213 kW Golf R to join the local range before learning just how much each will cost…
