Volkswagen Korea announced on the 20th that it has preemptively begun pre-orders for the special limited-edition model, the “Golf GTI Dark Moss Limited Edition,” exclusively for domestic customers to commemorate the 50th global anniversary of the “Golf GTI,” an icon of high-performance hatchbacks. The company stated that the model will be officially released in November. This edition is allocated as a limited run of only 100 units for the domestic market. It was unveiled for the first time in Korea at the “2026 Volkswagen Golf Treffen Korea” event held on the 17th at Yongin Everland Speedway, drawing enthusiastic responses from numerous Golf owners and fans.

The most noticeable change is the newly introduced exclusive exterior color, “Dark Moss Green,” commemorating the GTI’s 50th anniversary. The deep green-toned body is harmonized with a black exterior package consisting of a black roof, black side mirrors, and a black front strip, maximizing a sophisticated yet sporty presence. Alongside this, the model features GTI-specific dynamic wheel center caps and valve caps, an ArtVelour steering wheel with excellent grip, and GTI illuminated floor mats that glow softly when the doors are opened and closed, infusing unique sensibility exclusive to the limited-edition model into both the interior and exterior.

The powertrain fully inherits the proven performance of the existing GTI. A 2.0 TSI gasoline turbo engine paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission delivers powerful driving performance with a maximum output of 245 horsepower and peak torque of 37.7 kg·m. Additionally, VDM (Vehicle Dynamics Management) organically controls the electronically controlled hydraulic front differential lock (VAQ) and Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC), perfectly supporting precise handling and agile cornering.

The price of the Golf GTI Dark Moss Limited Edition, sold in a limited run of 100 units domestically, is 54.25 million won (VAT included, based on a 5.0% individual consumption tax rate).
