Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen India said, “Taking our performance legacy forward, we are elated to bring our global icons to customers in India – the all-new Volkswagen Tiguan R-line and the legendary Golf GTI. We strongly believe these icons are truly aspirational and will permeate excitement among customers and fans of the brand.

For a long time car enthusiasts in India have anticipated the arrival of the VW Golf GTI in the country and there were even rumours about the car making its debut in the country at Auto Expo 2025. However its absence at the Indian Auto Show did disappoint many of us but the company hasn’t really let us down and has come out with a double bonanza with this announcement.

“Volkswagen brand has been known for the performance, driving dynamics, build quality and safety of its products, offering a wide product portfolio to millions of customers across the world. Our made-in-India, made-for-the world, Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus , have carried forward these global credentials in India as well. Volkswagen India has had a fast start to 2025 with 3% growth in sales volumes YTD Feb’25 (vs. last year). We stay true to our commitment of delivering German - engineered, safe and fun-to-drive cars to the Indian market," he added.
