Volkswagen | Golf GTI and R 2025 arrive in the spring

Volkswagen has announced that its golf gti and golf r compacts will finally land in Canada in the spring. This mid-term update from the illustrious German duo is so important that many already call it 8.5, in reference to the eighth generation of the model.

The regulars will notice the slight reshaping which the only two delivereds offered in North America of the Compact on a tailgate. The logo will now be backlit and a bunch of diodes is integrated as standard above the grille. It is also redesigned, for the occasion.

However, it is inside that we find the most notable changes. Following many recriminations, Volkswagen has completely revised the multimedia system both hardware and software. The touch screen also grows at 12.9 inches.

The Golf GTI 2025 will be detailed at $ 38,545 taking into account transport and preparation costs, which constitutes an increase of $ 1,200 compared to the 2024 cuvée. Note that it keeps its four-cylinder turbocharged of 2 L which always produces 241 hp. It can only be arranged with an automatic double clutch transmission of seven reports.

On the side of the Golf R, the bill will amount to $ 53,045-$ 115 less than the R 2024 R 2024-in exchange for which we always get a turbocharged four-cylinder of 2, but whose climbing account 13 hp for 328 hp in total. Only the seven -speed automatic will be offered, always coupled with a full cog. We should also highlight the arrival of the Black Edition ($ 55,645) which blackens various external elements and offers the option of an Akrapovič in titanium ($ 3000) exhaust as well as fabric seats, free of charge, those.

A very interesting portrait, but without manual, marking a new era for the Volkswagen Golf.
