Volkswagen ID.GTI debuts in 2026, on sale in 2027
The battery-electric Volkswagen ID.GTI is three years away. We're talking about the hot hatch that will be based on the coming ID.2all supermini said to arrive in 2025, the automaker targeting a price around 25,000 euros ($27,544 U.S.). Andreas Mindt, VW's head of design, posted a sketch of the ID.GTI alongside the vintage GTI with the caption, «The Golf GTI was first unveiled at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show with a production run of 5000 units. To date, we have sold more than 2.8 million. In 2026, we will introduce an electric version of this iconic model.» That's likely for a debut, however. As for when it goes on the market, brand CEO Thomas Schäfer told Autocar the ID.GTI won't come to market until early 2027, roughly priced somewhere around 30,000 euros ($33,029 U.S.).
