According to the information officially disclosed by Volkswagen, its new pure electric GTI will make its world premiere in 2026, and is scheduled to be sold in 2027, and it will also be put into production in China, which is expected to start in the same year after the overseas market, and the launch time should also be in 2027, it will become the first pure electric vehicle of the Volkswagen GTI series, but this also shows that Volkswagen's GTX sports model trademark will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
According to Volkswagen's planning, the future will bring a new concept of pure electric vehicles, most of which are based on the needs of users, providing higher efficiency and the most intuitive operation mode, and before 2027, 11 pure electric models will be launched, and its GTI models will also integrate genes into the field of pure electric, becoming more sporty, at the German International Automotive and Intelligent Mobility Expo (IAA) on September 4, Volkswagen showed the concept car of the GTI pure electric version for the first time. From the appearance, it outlines everyone's vision of the future of pure electric, and it is likely to be developed based on the MQB platform to achieve stronger cruising range and faster charging speed.
But on the concept car provided, the pure electric GTI size we know is only 4.1 meters, this seating space has not reached a comfortable state, compared to the current Golf GTI is smaller, compared to the current domestic market close to 5 meters of the model, if the interior of 5 people, then this model may be particularly crowded, although it is not known if there will be adjustments after localization, if the status quo is maintained, it may have a certain impact on sales.
After all, from the perspective of market demand, the domestic riding demand has been rising, which has also led to the development of MPV models continues to rise, and if it is a small MINI version, there is only a small part of the market demand, and it is likely to be eliminated by the market in the future, or become a timely model, so if GTI still maintains such a size, the listing may reduce a certain degree of attention.
As for the exterior, from the concept car, it continues the design elements of the ID.2all, and has been replaced with a more impactful air package, as well as the wheels of the huge spring village, which are also equipped with red elements to make the whole car look more sporty. The interior has also been upgraded accordingly, the central control has been replaced with a larger LCD screen, a large number of physical buttons have been reduced, more control is woken up by voice or touch, and ambient lights have been added in many places, and the overall is still very young.
In addition, the official said that the model can seat 5 people, provides multiple storage boxes in the trunk position, and the seats can also be folded, so that the trunk is raised to 1330 liters, which shows that although the new GTI looks small, it is as comprehensive as possible in terms of function.
And now, the pure electric GTI has been approved by Volkswagen for mass production, but this time will be until 2027, there will still be a variety of variables in the middle, what we can know is that its current concept car form, in the mass production process is likely to be difficult to fully realize, but what can be known is that Volkswagen is very confident in the future pure electric transformation, the future will upgrade its many models, in the short term may first have some models exposed, do you expect this?
