VW GTI and Golf R built in Wolfsburg will arrive in the United States United States by 2022

So how much will the more modern and sharper VW GTI 2022 cost you? The company hasn't provided details, but Volkswagen has let things slip.

"I don't want to put a figure on paper, but we are aiming for a price increase of less than 10% from Mk7 to Mk8 GTI," said Schafer. Helping to justify the price increase will have more standard features and better performance compared to its predecessor, but the news worries us however. A mathematical calculation of the chair would put the base price of the new hot hatch at around $ 31,500, which is slightly more than the more powerful Hyundai Veloster N, even the one equipped with the performance group of 275 hp.

At the very least, the GTI (and its harder and more expensive brother Golf R) should continue to offer levels of refinement and everyday comfort close to Audi, unlike some of its competitors. And as we already knew, all the VW 2022 hot hatches will only be available in a five-door configuration, adding practicality and cargo space for mini-cars to the mix.
