At the beginning of this year, Volkswagen presented the new sporty flavors of the Golf 8: the GTI, GTE and GTD. The prices of both the GTI and the plug-in hybrid GTE are now known!
The delivery range of the Golf was recently expanded with the new Golf Variant, but that does not complete the Golf range. There is still a fierce Golf R in the barrel, the four-wheel drive top version that will surpass the subtoppers presented at the beginning of this year in every way. Those subtoppers are the GTI, GTE and GTD, versions that were not yet available in the Netherlands. Two of those sporty Golf versions have now finally been added to the price list. In this case we are talking about the new Golf GTI and about the new Golf GTE.
Golf GTI
Volkswagen charges a starting price of € 48,335 for the all-new Golf GTI. The sporty Golf version has a 245 hp and 370 Nm strong 2.0 TSI under the hood, a machine that is just as powerful as the Performance version of the previous Golf GTI. The new Golf GTI has a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission as standard. The total package is good for a sprint from a standstill to a speed of 100 km / h in 6.2 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. Those who do not try to match these values ​​should be able to score an average fuel consumption of 7.4 l / 100 km with the Golf GTI, which weighs 1,463 kilos.

Then the new Golf GTE, because the sportiest plug-in hybrid Golf also comes with a price tag. The price of that Golf GTE is € 42,610. The Golf GTE has a 245 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a 150 hp 1.4 TSI and a 114 hp electric motor. In 6.7 seconds, this 1,624 kilo Golf GTE has a speed of 100 km / h on the clock. Its top speed is 225 km / h below that of the Golf GTI. More interesting with a plug-in hybrid is of course the electric range. According to Volkswagen, the electric range of the new Golf GTE is 56 kilometers.
