To celebrate the Golf GTI’s golden jubilee, Volkswagen Malaysia is introducing limited-edition 18-inch five-spoke Huntsville Adamantium Dark alloys for just 50 new units of the hot hatch at no extra cost, offering a slightly clearer view of the red callipers than the standard Richmond turbines.
The facelifted Mk8.5 Golf GTI was launched in Malaysia in November. It’s locally assembled (CKD) in Pekan, Pahang, and the current RRP is RM255,990, inclusive of the Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP) five-year unlimited-mileage warranty and free service.
You get a 265 PS/370 Nm 2.0 litre EA888 turbo four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed wet-clutch DSG, a 5.9-second 0-100 km/h time, variable-ratio steering, an XDS electronic front diff lock, adaptive dampers and a lot more – read our launch report for the full lowdown.

It is a really good car and the rims look super. But the engine is the same mill as the Golf R so frankly – I would go for the “pocket rocket” the Golf R
the engine is same-same but different. certain key parts are not the same. but of course the actual difference is whether you prefer fwd or awd
the gti badge on the front door is so cringe, its trying too hard
Just get Honda Civic Type-R FL5! Perfect for middle age Millennials who lust for power and presence…
most of the younger generation cannot drive manual
Overpriced junk. Once you go EV or even EV like Hybrids like the Zeekr or BYD, you never go back to garbage ICE vehicles let alone overpriced turds like these European brands arrogantly assuming Malaysia is a good dumping ground for their unsold trash cans on wheels.
Would you get this or a similarly priced BMW320i?
What era dy..still got people buy this car meh?
Honestly RM255,990 is a good price for this car, but not sure why not many OTR, maybe all went to buy EVs already after realizing we can’t really use all the handling on roads legally but we can use the torque for red lights.
