There is a lot of smoke coming out of the Volkswagen Golf family caravan, but it has not yet been set on fire. We’re still a little early on what the Golf will look like, a collection full of special editions and previews. We can buy the 2024 Golf GTI 380 (pictured) for $32,485 in base S with a manual transmission splitter for the entire model year, or the limited-edition Golf R 333 sold in Germany for $81,582. . In 8 minutes. The electric Golf Mk9 isn’t expected to arrive until later this decade, paving the way for the electric Golf R, while the GTI name will transfer to the battery-electric ID.2 hatchback in early 2026. Called the Golf Mk8.5, the car is expected to hit the market between now and next year. While we wait to see if the updated Golf is likely to make it here, estimates for the GTI and Golf R will increase by a nominal amount for the 2024 versions. Here’s how the three Golf variants differ in price after the $1,150 destination tax and for 2023:
