Volkswagen India is getting ready to spice up the performance scene by introducing the iconic Golf GTI as a CBU (Completely Built-Up) unit. While the Tiguan R-Line was the brand’s first CBU model in this phase, it’s now time for the hot hatch to grab the spotlight. With the launch set for next month, VW has already teased what the India-spec Golf GTI will look like—especially when it comes to colours and wheels.
Colours
Volkswagen is keeping things clean but exciting with four exterior colour options for the Golf GTI in India. Here’s what you’ll get to choose from:
- Grenadilla Black Metallic – a classy, solid finish
- Oryx White Premium – dual-tone finish with premium flair
- Moonstone Grey – another dual-tone that’s subtle but sporty
- Kings Red Premium Metallic – the most striking and probably the fan-favourite
These shades stay true to the GTI’s aggressive styling, offering something for everyone—whether you’re going stealthy or standing out.
Wheels and Design
The India-spec Golf GTI will come fitted with 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, adding to its bold and athletic stance. The wheels perfectly match the car’s low-slung, dynamic silhouette and signature GTI detailing like the red line across the grille and honeycomb air intake.
Cabin
Step inside and the interior continues the sporty theme. You get dual-tone black and silver seats with bold red accents—typical GTI styling. The red stitching, subtle trims, and sport seats hint that this isn’t just a regular hatchback—it’s built for thrills.
Engine
Under the hood, the Golf GTI brings the heat. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine that pumps out 260bhp and 370Nm of torque. Mated to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox, this setup is known for delivering sharp throttle response and lightning-fast shifts.
The GTI is all about performance, and the numbers back that up. The hot hatch can sprint from zero to 100kmph in just 5.9 seconds. That’s not just fast—it’s hot hatch royalty level fast.
