2026 Volkswagen GTI · Trims · Autobahn
What is the 2026 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn?
The most expensive of the GTI's three trims in our data. The Autobahn starts at $42,480. The next one down is the SE, at $39,080.
Our GTI data has all three US 2026 Golf GTI S, SE and Autobahn DSG hatchbacks, plus the $1,300 SE Leather Seating Package. It doesn't have Golf R, earlier GTI 380 manual cars, non-US Clubsport and Edition 50 models, paint/interior color combinations, and subscriptions yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
