  • volkswagen's redesigned golf gti hot hatchback will reach dealers by the end of 2021 with a starting price of $30,540 for the base s model.
  • mid-range se and top-spec autobahn trims will also be offered and will cost $35,290 and $38,990 before options.
  • these base prices include a six-speed manual transmission; upgrading to the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $800.

    we've been impatiently waiting for the redesigned 2022 volkswagen golf gti to make its way stateside and we're happy to report that the hot hatchback is on track to go on sale before the end of 2021. it will be offered in three trims–s, se, and autobahn–and will start at $30,540, just $850 more than the outgoing 2021 model.

    for that price, the s model offers a six-speed manual transmission, 18-inch wheels, led headlights and taillights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic climate control, plaid seats with heating for the driver and front passenger, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an 8.3-inch infotainment display, among other features.

    the se will start at $35,290 and adds a sunroof, a larger 10.0-inch infotainment display, and a harman/kardon stereo system. the top-spec autobahn will cost $38,990 and comes with 19-inch wheels with summer tires, adaptive dampers, leather upholstery, cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a 12-way power driver's seat. a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is optional on all models and costs $800.

    all golf gtis will come with a 241-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an limited-slip differential. at our test track, a euro-spec 2022 golf gti with the optional automatic transmission snapped off a brisk 5.1-second zero-to-60-mph time, which is 0.7-second quicker than the previous-generation model. during that test drive, we also praised the gti's sharp handling.

    volkswagen says the 2022 golf gti in its various trim levels will be available for retail sales nationwide in the fourth quarter of 2021.
