Volkswagen Golf GTI hits Indian roads

Volkswagen has officially started delivering the iconic Golf GTI hatchback in India—and it's already a hit. All 150 units sold out before the price was even announced, prompting Volkswagen to bring in 100 more cars. A video of the first customer getting their GTI is making rounds online, showing just how hyped people are for this sporty ride.

TL;DR

A look at the Golf GTI's features

The Golf GTI stands out with its signature grille, bold 'GTI' badge, and sleek matrix-LED headlights. It rocks 18-inch diamond-cut alloys and an all-black interior with bucket seats and a sporty steering wheel. Under the hood, there's a punchy 2.0L turbo engine (245hp) that goes from 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds, plus a big touchscreen with smartphone integration.
