The torque output stands at 250 Nm, peaking in the range of 1,250 to 5,300 rpm. Transmission duties are overseen by a 7 speed DSG unit. A standstill to 100 kmph sprint is claimed to be completed in 7.2 second. The top speed is an exciting 233 kmph!

“The GTI is one of its kind in the performance hatch segment and is designed for the petrol heads who are well versed with the GTI philosophy. It seamlessly blends power with comfort that guarantees performance and an adrenaline packed driving experience. The one who drives a GTI need not to explain anything. He simply drives a statement. Volkswagen GTI remains the icon for all sporty cars and we are extremely proud to bring this phenomenon to India.”
