[evo1986]

VW0270-13

The New Golf GTI and GTD open for ordering on Tuesday 26 March and go on sale on Tuesday 18 June, beginning another chapter in the 37-year-long history of the original hot hatch.

From 26 March customers can configure both models on volkswagen.co.uk and Retailers will be able create quotes for them on Connect OnLine.

The new GTI’s engine packs a 220 PS punch that delivers incredible performance and makes the most of the New Golf’s gains in efficiency and dynamics. The new GTD has a 184 PS common-rail diesel engine, making it the most powerful GTD to date, and returns a frugal 67.3 mpg.

Keep an eye on Desktop for news of when the first examples will arrive in the UK, ahead of the models’ on-sale date in June.

Pricing and equipment

An updated price list, with full specification details and our exciting range of options, will be published on Desktop on 26 March.

For the first time we are offering Performance Pack option for the GTI. The pack uprates the car’s power to 230 PS, and adds larger diameter brake discs and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

As soon as I have a confirmed PDF of the price list which by the looks of it we will on the 26th of March I will let you know what is standard trim but it appears very good if it has just everything the current GT has at least that will be a huge improvement over the last model.

Can't wait to get my GTD order in for 1st September reg

Be sure to get your order in early, we are already eating into April allocation of normal golf orders. March full and 6 already filling Aprils allocation which we don't even know how many we can order in April......

GTI and GTD allocation will be far and few between.....

Be sure to get your order in early...

Anyone would think you were a salesman reading that 

[evo1986]

Its just to avoid guaranteed disappointment : ) I cant keep count of the amount of customers I have had in the last few weeks wanting a mk7 golf and when you say I cant order your car till April at the earliest so that means delivery maybe in July it turns them straight off.

Remember all the ridiculous lead times on mk6 gti etc......I have a feeling the mk7 is going to be worse.
