As previously mentioned, the interior has been updated with a new multimedia center. Both the hardware and software have been modified in response to the many complaints from Mk8 owners in Europe. The fourth-generation system is called MIB4 and features a 12.9-inch touchscreen. In Germany, the Volkswagen car starts at 44,505 euros, which is R$ 275,500 in direct conversion at the current exchange rate. 

History Of The Golf GTI

Launched at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in September 1975, the first model was modern and wild. In the summer of 1976, it created an automotive category that did not exist, sporty compact hatchbacks with front-wheel drive.

Originally, 5,000 units had been planned; however, the Golf GTI, an affordable car, turned the automotive market upside down, bringing driving dynamics previously relegated to the world of expensive sports cars to the masses.

Consequently, 461,690 Golf GTI Mk1 models rolled off the production lines. With its 8 successors to this day, the model has become the most successful compact sports car in the world.

In June 1976, the model, priced at 13,850 deutsche marks, was launched in Germany before achieving global success. It had a top speed of 182 km/h and black wheel arch extensions, a black frame around the rear window, red trims, and other details.
