Volkswagen revealed a special-edition package that will be applied to all 2024 GTIs, marking the end of the line for the stick-shift gearbox in VW's hot hatch.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R will no longer be offered with a manual transmission after the 2024 model year.
The 2024 GTI 380 is a special package that all manual GTIs will be fitted with for their final year of production.Anniversary Edition, and standard adaptive dampers on all trims.. The German automaker revealed a special edition of the hot hatch today called the Golf GTI 380, announcing that this package will be fitted to every 2024 stick-shift GTI as a send-off to the do-it-yourself gearbox.
Although these regulations don't directly affect the United States, keeping the stick shift around for just one market—especially one where only 8423 GTIs and Golf Rs, automatic or manual, were sold in 2022—likely doesn't make financial sense. By removing the manual option, Volkswagen can streamline the GTI's assembly line, saving money.
Volkswagen says the GTI and Golf R will continue to be sold with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The 2024 GTI 380 goes on sale this fall, starting at $32,485 for the S model. The SE will ring in at $37,285 while the Autobahn will go for $40,625. These prices do not include the destination fee, which Volkswagen has yet to publish for the 2024 Golf GTI.
