Both GTI and GTD versions of the Volkswagen Golf are available now
Volkswagen has added two new high performance models to the Golf range.
The new Volkswagen Golf Mark 7 GTI is powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, which puts out 220bhp.
It has a top speed of 246kph and can accelerate from 0-100kph in 6.5 seconds.
The new VW Golf GTI is available in three and five-door models with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG transmission.
With emissions of 139g/km in the manual, road tax will cost €280.
Meanwhile, the Volkswagen Golf GTD has a 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, putting out 184bhp.
It is also available in both manual and automatic transmissions, with road tax for the six speed manual costing €190.
Prices for the GTI start from €33,820, with prices for the GTD starting from €35,740.
And the efficient Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion is due in Ireland in December. With a 1.6-litre 110bhp common rail TDI, it will have emissions of 85g/km. Prices for that will be announced closer to launch.
