Prototypes of the Volkswagen Golf facelift have been spotted testing for several months, but it wasn’t until the beginning of October when we first laid eyes on the GTI. A new report from the British magazine Autocar<\/em> states the updated G<\/strong>rand T<\/strong>ourer I<\/strong>njection will be out in early 2024 with some significant changes. Chief of which will allegedly be an upgraded turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine producing more than the 241 hp available today.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all too surprising considering VW has been selling stronger Golf GTIs in Europe for many years. One relevant example is the Clubsport, packing a meaty 296 hp, without stepping on the R’s toes since it still has less power and a front-wheel-drive layout. Autocar<\/em> speculates the regular GTI could benefit from a bump in output of 20 hp, which would take it to 261 hp to mirror the not-for-US 2024 Passat and Tiguan with the 2.0 TSI engine.<\/p>\n

According to the same report, the four-cylinder mill might be boosted to somewhere in the region of 300 pound-feet, which would represent an increase of 27 lb-ft over the current Golf GTI. That Clubsport we mentioned earlier is rated at 295 lb-ft. Even though the “380” special edition unveiled in late August signaled the end of the six-speed manual gearbox, there is still hope for a stick shift. Watered-down Euro 7 emissions regulations could convince VW to take a 180-degree turn and still sell its performance compact hatch with a manual.<\/p>\n

Other hardware improvements believed to be in the pipeline include a stiffer rear axle and an upgraded adaptive suspension. Spy shots have revealed there will be some mild exterior changes while the interior is getting a much larger touchscreen for VW\u2019s latest infotainment system.<\/p>\n

Autocar<\/em> believes the peeps from Wolfsburg will want to celebrate the Golf GTI’s 50th<\/sup> anniversary in 2026 with an “Edition 50” special variant featuring even more power and other goodies.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget VW has already announced this eighth-generation model is the last Golf to offer combustion engines, meaning the forthcoming update will effectively be the ICE’s swan song. In late September, the German brand revealed the all-electric Mk9 is going to be manufactured in Wolfsburg from near the end of the decade on the Scalable Systems\u00a0Platform\u00a0(SSP) architecture.<\/p>\n
