As a performance-tuned car, the Volkswagen Golf GTI will turn heads as you zip down streets and take on tight corners. It takes obsessive engineering to make a vehicle this agile, and the Volkswagen team has spent plenty of time perfecting their craft.
Power begins under the hood, and the VW Golf GTI has fierce potential waiting to be unleashed. The standard 2.0 TSI® engine is turbocharged and ready to take on whatever comes your way.
| Horsepower | 241 HP |
|---|---|
| Torque | 273 lb-ft |
| Drivetrain | Front-Wheel Drive |
The VW Golf GTI then pairs its engine with a 7-speed automatic DSG® transmission that makes acceleration smooth and seamless. It uses Tiptronic® engineering to make every drive feel dynamic and energetic.
The VW Golf GTI proves its commitment to balancing impressive performance with efficiency. With fuel consumption of 9.9 city/7.4 highway L/100 km, it delivers sporty acceleration while making efficient use of every drop of fuel.* The start/stop system further aids fuel economy by automatically shutting off the engine when the car is at a standstill and then restarting when you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.
While driving longer and farther in your VW Golf GTI, you may encounter less-than-ideal conditions. Its VAQ electronically controlled limited-slip differential helps ensure you'll have plenty of traction and remain steady when cornering, on slippery roads, and during inclement weather. Meanwhile, the available Dynamic Chassis Control (adaptive damping) enables you to customize your ride with Driving Profile Selection that includes Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Individual settings.
While the VW Golf GTI has plenty of strength built into its core, it also has many intelligent systems. Modern tech has made driving an engaging and rewarding part of your day, and ample features are waiting to be explored.
Staying connected to your vehicle makes those long road trips easier. Thanks to the standard 12.9-inch touchscreen with navigation, you can set the course for your next destination with just a few presses. This system also includes wireless App-Connect® (Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™) to pair your smartphone, and wireless charging ensures your device remains fully powered while travelling the world.
Even more available technologies make the VW Golf GTI a high-tech oasis. The available Head-Up Display projects essential info directly onto the windshield for added convenience. If you're an audiophile looking for higher quality sound, the available Harman Kardon® premium audio system with eight speakers and a subwoofer will rock your cabin with rich quality.
Safety is always a top priority, especially for Volkswagen engineers. That's why they've designed IQ.DRIVE®, a robust suite of driver-assistive technologies that comes standard in every VW Golf GTI. These systems work in the background to keep you aware of your surroundings and prepared for the unexpected. Standard and available features include:
Once you reach your destination, available Park Assist can make you look like a parking pro. It will let you know when a parallel or perpendicular parking space is large enough for your VW Golf GTI. While you operate the clutch, accelerator, and brake, Park Assist will take over the steering and guide you into it.
While others see a speedy car pulling ahead on the road, you'll be experiencing a fun and relaxed cabin. The VW Golf GTI's interior is fun for both drivers and passengers because of its smarter design and integrated features.
While it's compact on the outside for tight city streets, the VW Golf GTI has ample room in its cabin for you and your passengers. There's plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and get settled before the start of your next getaway.

Everyone can easily fit their bags, sports equipment, and other gear in the cargo area, which measures 564 litres (19.9 cubic feet). If you have larger items to transport or are helping a friend move, simply fold down the rear seats, and you'll have 977 litres (34.5 cubic feet) of cargo volume to work with.
Life is better when your car helps take care of you. The VW Golf GTI has a vast selection of standard and available features that are sure to amplify your time on the road. These forward-thinking innovations turn driving from simple transit to a memorable part of your day:
To further expand the cabin and flood it with natural light, opt for the available Rail 2 Rail power sunroof. This panoramic roof maximizes visibility and openness while offering everyone on board incredible sky views.
Having additional capability is always wise, and the VW Golf GTI is made to make your life on the road easier. Its standard cargo area is already over twice as big as that in the S3--and that's before folding down the rear seats. A more compact frame makes it well-suited for tight city drives, and the greater fuel efficiency will make every trip more enjoyable.

Sporty performance is at the heart of the VW Golf GTI and delivers the strength you've been dreaming of. Along with substantially more raw power than the Civic Si, it offers an automatic transmission for smooth, seamless handling, while the Honda only offers a manual transmission. Plus, additional room in both rows ensures comfort, no matter where you or your riders are seated.

Efficiency can be a key factor when shopping for a car, and the VW Golf GTI can get plenty more from its fuel tank than the WRX. It will let you spend more time zipping along streets and pulling ahead on the highway. The spacious cargo area and larger touchscreen round this out to make it a spectacular model.
