Yahoo Autos 2024 Volkswagen GTI and Golf R up their prices a bit before Mk8.5 Golf arrives
There's plenty of smoke rising from the Volkswagen Golf family camp, but no fire yet. We're still early in the buildup to what the Golf will become, said buildup full of special editions and speculation.
We get the 2024 Golf GTI 380 (pictured) for the entire model year at $32,485 in base S trim as a sendoff for the manual transmission, while Germany got the Golf R 333 limited edition that cost the equivalent of $81,582 in U.S. dollars and sold out in eight minutes. An electric Mk9 Golf isn't expected until late in the decade, leading the way for an electric Golf R, while the GTI name will migrate to the battery-electric ID.2 hatchback as soon as 2026. Between now and then, what's being called the Golf Mk8.5 is headed to the market next year. While we wait to find out if there's a chance of the updated Golf making its way here, our GTI and Golf R MSRPs rise nominal amounts for their 2024 iterations. Prices for the trio of Golf variants after the $1,150 destination charge, and their differences from 2023, are:
GTI
S: $32,915 ($435)
SE: $37,865 ($585)
Autobahn: $41,455 ($435)
