Volkswagen Slashes Price on Latest Golf GTI in Australia
Looking for a hot hatch that offers the perfect blend of affordability and performance? Look no further than the Volkswagen Golf GTI!
The latest Golf GTI from Volkswagen has just received its first-ever price cut in Australia. The brand has confirmed that more stock of the hot hatch is on its way, and is now offering a drive-away price of $55,490 until September 30, 2023.
Volkswagen is anticipating a strong supply of the Golf GTI in the coming months, ensuring that it will be readily available at dealerships.
The Golf GTI is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 180kW and 370Nm of torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel drive, it delivers an exhilarating driving experience.
While the Golf GTI enjoys good availability, other hot hatch models are facing significant wait times. Orders for the more powerful Golf R and the Hyundai i30 N are currently closed due to a backlog. The Honda Civic Type R, Ford Focus ST, Renault Megane RS, and Ford Fiesta ST are also either unavailable or not offered in Australia anymore.
In the past, Volkswagen has used limited-edition models like the three-door GTI Original to make the Golf GTI more affordable. However, with the arrival of the Mk7.5 GTI, the manual transmission option was discontinued in Australia, and the base price of the car exceeded $50,000 for the first time with the Mk8 model.
- Volkswagen lowers the price of the Golf GTI by around $5000 in Australia
- More stock of the hot hatch is expected in the third quarter of 2023
- The Golf GTI is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine
- Limited availability of other hot hatch models in the market
With its first-ever price cut, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is now more accessible to Australian car enthusiasts. While other hot hatch models face limited availability, the Golf GTI promises to deliver both power and performance.
