Athletic, feisty, distinctive. For four decades the Golf GTI has been an icon; the car that other cars have aspired to be. The beating heart of the Golf range is the Golf GTI, a car with little to prove, but much to offer.
The engine of the Golf GTI offers maximum performance. You can reach a top speed of 248 km/h with a whopping 169 kW (229 HP). It takes just 6.4 seconds to go from 0-100 km/h.
What’s more, the GTI sports suspension allows for more comfort, optimal traction and better steering control.
The sports running gear of the Golf GTI is included as standard and offers even more driving fun with excellent handling, making a sporty driving style particularly comfortable. To allow you to experience pure driving pleasure, the body of the Golf GTI has been dropped by 15 millimetres with shock absorbers and stabilisers.
You will feel the result: handling is noticeably improved, for example on curves, and you get an especially direct driving feel, particularly if you have a sporty driving style. This allows you to get the most out of the power the car offers and still stay in control.
Whether reversing out of a busy parking lot or trying to squeeze into a tricky spot, an extra set of eyes are always handy.
The Rear View Camera installed at the back of the car, displays a live picture on your screen that shows what’s behind you. Coupled with parking sensors, reversing is now safer and easier.
Searching for your keys are now a thing of the past. You can start the engine of your Golf at the press of the starter button, while leaving your keys in your bag.
Proximity sensors detect your key within 1.5 metres of the car, meaning it can automatically unlock as you pull the door handle. Keyless entry and start (KESSY).
Small gestures can achieve a lot in everyday life, but also when it comes to gesture control in your car. This function makes it even more convenient to operate the optional Discover Pro system.
It enables you to easily move around in the main menu and various submenus using a swipe gesture to switch pages. For example, with just a single hand movement, you can switch radio station.
The new Golf GTI certainly remains one, including in its latest generation – and you will see that modesty is simply not its thing. On the contrary, this model is only too happy to show us what it’s got.
The front, with its even slimmer headlights, the typical honeycomb structure of the radiator grille and the gleaming black air intake vents identify it as a worthy successor to the original GTI. Topping this off with the more prominent exhaust pipes.
The light design in the new Golf GTI has nothing to hide, and you can choose from several attractive versions. Whichever one you choose: the lights will certainly help you see clearly.
Standard are the halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights, or upgrade to the full LED headlights to help keep a better view of the road.
Nothing shapes the side design of a sports car more than the wheels. The dynamic standard and optional alloy wheels impressively underline the sporty nature of the Golf GTI and also allow for an unobstructed view of the striking red brake callipers.
One of the Golfs new additions is the eye-catching Active Info Display available as an optional specification across the range.
Taking place of traditional instrumentation behind the steering wheel. This high-definition digital display uses a 12.3” screen with configurable views. Choose your view from navigation, infotainment, driver assistance and vehicle performance functions all right in front of your eyes.
Now standard across the Golf range is the 8 inch touchscreen colour display. This glass-covered display is high resolution and intuitively connects you to the infotainment system.
Also the Highline and R-Line feature the Discover Media Navigation system, meaning you will never be lost again.
The optional mobile phone interface is not only had a hands-free system, but also a wireless charging function. Simply place your phone in the multimedia console and charge away – easy!
