Volkswagen has been making Golf cars for 50 years. The GTI hatchback is finally in India. But it's not exactly the People's Car
A Volkswagen range without a Golf is like idli without sambar. It’s been part of the German automaker's line-up for 50 years and is possibly the brand’s most iconic model since the Beetle. The Golf lives up to the Volkswagen name: People’s Car. More than 35 million Golfs have been sold worldwide—except in India. Until now.
Why didn’t VW bring its most celebrated model to India before? Because there's no market for large hatchbacks here. At best, it would be a niche segment. And that’s exactly where VW is slotting the Golf, not as a mass-market car but one for enthusiasts, by bringing it in the revered GTI avatar.
