Volkswagen Korea has opened pre-orders for the 'Golf GTI Dark Moss Limited Edition,' a special model prepared for domestic customers to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the GTI, and will officially launch it in South Korea on November with a limited run of 100 units.

First unveiled domestically at the '2026 Volkswagen Golf Treffen Korea' event on the 17th, this model was conceived to honor the GTI's heritage spanning 50 years and to express gratitude to domestic customers. It features a sporty presence emphasized by a dedicated exterior color, 'Dark Moss Green,' combined with a black exterior package that includes a black roof, side mirrors, and front strip. Differentiation is further achieved through GTI-specific dynamic wheel center caps and valve caps, an ArtVelours steering wheel, and GTI illuminated floor mats.

The powertrain combines a 2.0 TSI gasoline turbo engine with a 7-speed DSG transmission, delivering maximum output of 245 horsepower and peak torque of 37.7 kg·m. Precise driving performance is supported by VDM (Variable Differential Management), electronically controlled hydraulic front differential lock (VAQ), and Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC). The price is 54.25 million won, and the package includes a welcome kit, a limited-edition number plate engraved with a unique serial number, a 5-year/150,000 km free warranty, and a program covering out-of-pocket costs for accident repairs for the first year.

Meanwhile, Volkswagen Korea announced plans to re-release the new 'Golf R,' the top-tier high-performance model based on the facelifted 8th-generation Golf, in the domestic market in 2027. The new Golf R, returning to South Korea after approximately 12 years since 2015, is equipped with an inline four-cylinder 2.0L gasoline direct-injection turbocharged engine, a 7-speed DSG transmission, and the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, delivering powerful performance with maximum output of 333 horsepower. It will provide the most powerful driving performance in the brand's history by applying R-Performance Torque Vectoring and Adaptive Chassis Control.
