As far as a great hitch for your 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI, I recommend the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7375. The Stealth comes with a hidden design that offers 300 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds of maximum gross towing capacity. Also, since the distance from the center of the pinhole to the front face of your bumper is only about 1-1/2 inches, you will not have to worry about bumper clearance issues when looking to mount accessories such as bike racks or cargo carriers. If you need a ball mount and locking pin/clip with this setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop # C45534.

If you need help with the installation, I attached a video that shows the installation process on a 2018 model. The process for your 2021 model will be nearly identical.
