VW announced today the Volkswagen Golf GTD price for the United Kingdom market where it will arrive in on 22 June. The Volkswagen Golf GTD will be available on the British market in two body styles, 3-door and 5-door, and with a choice between a 6-speed manual gearbox or the 6-speed automatic DSG transmission. The new Volkswagen Golf GTD is powered by a 2.0-litre (1,968 cc) common rail TDI engine that delivers 170 PS and 258 lbs ft of torque. The top speed of the Volkswagen Golf GTD is 138 mph and the car is able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 8.1 seconds. With a CO2 emissions level of 139 g/km the Volkswagen Golf GTD offers a fuel economy of 53.3 mpg which translates in a 640 miles autonomy on a single tank.
The Volkswagen Golf GTD price starts at 21,850 pounds for the 3dr and goes up to 23,155 pounds. The Volkswagen Golf GTD price for the five-door version starts at 22,435 for the manual and goes up to 23,740 for the DGS equipped model.
Volkswagen Press Release:
Volkswagen has revealed pricing for its new performance diesel, the Golf GTD. The new model is available to order at Volkswagen Retailers now ahead of the cars arriving in the UK on 22 June.
Prices will start at £21,850 RRP ‘on the road’ for the three-door, six-speed manual model. There is a £585 premium for the five-door model and a £1,305 for the six-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
Powering the new GTD is a refined 2.0-litre (1,968 cc) common rail TDI engine, producing 170 PS and a substantial 258 lbs ft of torque channeled via a six-speed manual or automatic DSG gearbox. This translates to effortless performance with the ability to accelerate to 62 mph in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 138 mph. Combined with CO2 emissions of just 139 g/km and average fuel consumption of 53.3 mpg and a range in excess of 640 miles on a single tank of fuel, the GTD is a frugal yet exciting hot hatch.
The Golf GTD’s appearance differs significantly from the standard Golf. A new front bumper from
the GTI sits below a honeycomb grille element framed by chrome horizontal fins and a prominent ‘GTD’ badge. At the rear, full body-colored bumpers make the GTD appear lower and wider than it really is, while the Golf’s standard wheels are replaced with unique 17-inch ‘Seattle Black’ alloys.
Inside, the main contact points are unique to the Golf GTD – a flat-bottomed steering wheel, a leather gearshift and a standard tartan interior. The tartan finish is unique to the GTD and
is subtly different from that found in the GTI, being gray, white and black, rather than red, white and black.
As with the entire Golf range, the new GTD will feature class-leading levels of safety with ABS, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Program) and seven airbags, including for the first time a knee airbag, all standard. The Golf was recently awarded a maximum five-star rating by the EuroNCAP crash testing agency.
