Volkswagen recently launched the Golf GTI in India at Rs 53 lakh (ex-showroom). The hot hatch is offered in limited numbers via the CBU route. Having said that, the first batch comprised just 150 units, and all of which have already been sold out. Owing to this overwhelming response, the brand has now confirmed a second lot of 100 units for the Indian market.
While Volkswagen is yet to share the launch timeline for the second batch of the 2025 Golf GTI, it is expected to arrive by early 2026, with its pre-bookings likely to start towards the end of the current calendar year.
