Various local media outlets are reporting pricing for the Mk7 Golf GTI, which we expect to be officially released by Volkswagen later this week.
Accordingly it’s expected a base model five-door GTI with 6-speed manual will be priced from $41,490. With a 6-speed DSG the price will be $43,990. Those prices refer to the standard 162kW/350Nm spec for the 2.0 litre turbocharged engine.
The higher output Performance Pack will be on its way down under too, but not until the second quarter of 2014. Pricing for the higher spec GTI, which adds LED headlights, larger brakes and an XDS+ electronic differential lock, will be $47,990. Australian delivered Performance Pack GTIs will be available exclusively with a DSG transmission.
Standard equipment across the range includes 18″ alloys, adaptive dampers and Satellite Navigation.
All pricing mentioned above does not include on road costs, so expect a base GTI to set you back around mid-40s driveaway.

DSG-only for PP. Disappointing, especially when coupled with our five-door-only reality!
So with the PP Golf GTI…. at that price where do we think the Golf R will be situated?
These prices seem slightly higher than what was initially hinted.
Interesting to see what the Mk7 Golf R will be priced at given that the next S3 is expected to be ~62k with onroads.
No 3 door, no thanks!
Aust Volk Bring the fucken 3 door back!!!!!!! but i guess they did say it only counts as 5% of the market.
Are they LED headlights? Or do you mean LED daytime running lights?
The former would be a cool option.
47990 GTI, 59990 S3 – R will have to be in the middle I guess but there is not much room!
Dave, the S3 comes with xenon and leather, so add those in and you are looking at a small gap to S3. Not sure where R could fit really!
Why only DSG with the PP? That’s such a stupid decision by VDUD. Who run these importers here in Australia? Men that have been overly injecting themselves with estrogen?
I’ve got some in depth info to post up later tonight.
Surprised at the level of disquiet here and around the interwebz about the lack of 3 door GTI. You haven’t been able to buy a 3dr GTI or R for a year or two, just before the Scirocco finally arrived.
