Volkswagen's Golf GTI is back

For those who didn’t know it was gone, the Golf GTI and 110TSI R-Line are both to come back to Australian shores, with 1,300 units available.

Like most car makers, VW has had supply shortages which in the case caused the pair to be unavailable. Golf GTI and Golf 110TSI R-Line are available to order now, with waiting times coming down to around three months.

Models such as T-Roc 140TSI R-Line and T-Roc R have not experienced the same shortages..

Volkswagen’s Head of Product Passenger Vehicles Michelle Rowney said that demand for the Golf GTI in particular has never been matched by adequate supply in the current (Mark 8) generation.

“Inside our headquarters and in showrooms there’s so much love for the Golf, so it has been challenging to have our supply restricted for this iconic hatchback,” Ms Rowney said.

“The fact is that with the Golf GTI there are heavier hatches, ones that only go around a racetrack well, some that are louder and often are cheaper in all respects – but none match the all-round finesse of GTI.

“From its standard adaptive suspension and tartan seats to the availability of a head-up display and Harman/Kardon audio system, the GTI delivers comfort, class and technology in one quick and super fun package.”

The Golf GTI comes with a 180kW/370Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, uses the latest 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG). The 1,477kg GTI has a 6.4 seconds 0-100km/h, with a claimed economy of 7.0 L/100km.

Packages include a choice of 18- and 19-inch wheels, 15-stage adaptive suspension and an electronically controlled mechanical locking front differential with ESC Sport for maximum comfort with driving fun.

The Golf 110TSI R-Line uses a demurer 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre turbo four-paired to a delicious eight-speed conventional automatic. Despite the less impressive power figures, the 8.5 seconds 0-100km/h is only a couple of seconds behind the GTI sister. Economy of 5.8 L/100km is very near to our figures during the reviews.
