Update: Pricing information updated, for real this time. Sorry about the confusion.

Volkswagen really wants you to know that the < is -- like the other MQB-based seventh-generation Golfs -- bigger, lighter, faster and more fuel-efficient than its predecessor. And it won't cost you much more, either. As the New York auto show gets underway, VW has announced that the 2015 Golf GTI will start at $25,215 (including $820 destination and handling fees). That's a $195 increase over the previous Golf GTI.

For $25,215, you get the entry-level S trim, which nets you two doors and a six-speed manual transmission. There are LED foglights and footwell lighting, but we're guessing Golf junkies are more concerned about the motor. Power comes from the “EA888” turbocharged inline-four, which is the same engine in the 2015 VW Golf R and a handful of Audi products. In this application, it produces a respectable 210 hp (up 10 hp) and 258 lb-ft of torque (up 51 lb-ft from the previous car).

To get a fully loaded interior complete with navigation, you'll have to step up to the Autobahn trim. SE trim adds keyless access, push-button start and a sunroof. Volkswagen

To gain an additional 10 hp, as well as bigger brakes and a torque-sensing electronically controlled limited-slip differential, check the performance-package box. It will cost $1,495 when the car goes on sale later this year.

Other options include the $995 lighting package (which consists of bi-xenon headlamps, LED running lights and adaptive lighting). To get tech like front collision warning and park distance control, you'll have to opt for the $692 driver assistance package.

The SE trim is a significant step up at $28,215 but adds a sunroof, keyless access, push-button start, a rearview camera, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a Fender audio system and more. You can also add that horsepower-boosting performance package and, for an additional $800, the “dynamic chassis control” active damping system (only available on the SE and Autobahn trims).

Badges? You've got badges. Volkswagen

Topping the range with navigation, a 12-way power driver's seat and that oh-so-essential automatic climate control is the GTI Autobahn, which comes in at $30,415. It's available as a four-door (well, technically a five-door) only. As with the other trims, you'll have to pay extra for the performance package and dynamic chassis control.

We've enjoyed the new MQB-based Golfs we've had the chance to sample so far, and the GTI was no exception. You'll be able to try one out yourself soon enough: The 2015 Golf GTI will arrive at dealerships in June.

The 2014 New York auto show runs April 16-27 and is expected to attract a range of production and concept cars including the 2015 Mustang convertible, BMW M4 convertible and next Hyundai Sonata. Check out Autoweek's complete coverage at autoweek.com/new-york-auto-show.
