Volkswagen South Africa Still Considering The Local Introduction Of Standard Golf 8 Range

Volkswagen South Africa has launched the new Golf 8 GTI and confirmed that the 8 R variant will arrive in the first quarter of 2022.

What about the regular offerings from the range?

According to TopAuto who spoke to VWSA, the regular Golf 8 range is still being considered for a local introduction and has not been confirmed.

“Volkswagen’s Golf 8 strategy in South Africa focuses on the performance attributes of the Golf,” the company told the publication.

“Volkswagen is still investigating the feasibility of launching other derivatives in the Golf 8 range,” said the company.

This seems a bit odd to us but maybe they think the market may be a bit saturated thanks to models like the T-cross, T-Roc and upcoming Taigo?
