Volkswagen India<\/a> has appointed ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah as its first brand ambassador, leveraging his on-field accuracy to reinforce the Golf GTI\u2019s<\/a> German engineering ethos and performance hatchback pedigree.<\/p>

Priced at Rs. 53 Lakhs (ex-showroom), the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine pumps out 265 hp and 370 Nm, mated to a 7-speed DSG, hitting 0\u2013100 km\/h in 5.9 seconds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVolkswagen India is shifting from product-only messaging to lifestyle engagement. Aligning with Bumrah adds aspirational depth to the performance hatchback narrative without diluting the brand\u2019s motorsport DNA. It cements a focus on substance, trust, and character over mere flash.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Nitin Kohli, Brand Director, said, \u201cThis collaboration goes beyond performance; it\u2019s a statement of intent that aligns with our motorsport DNA. Jasprit and the Golf GTI share a language of consistency and precision.\u201d<\/p>

    Bumrah added, \u201cTrue performance doesn\u2019t need to be loud \u2013 it just needs to be consistent. Partnering with Volkswagen and the Golf GTI felt like a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>
