The all-new VW Golf GTI

Nothing shapes the side view of a vehicle than the wheels. The dynamic alloy wheels that are available as standard or an option impressively enhance the Golf GTI’s sporty nature.

The Golf GTI is fitted with visibly dynamic LED headlights that stretch all the way round to the side wings, while sleek LED tail light clusters dominate at the rear. Additionally a new horizontal LED light strip runs across the entire front. 

Fog or rain? The LED front fog lights that come in the new 5-honeycomb design and are built into the bumper, provide additional light. Turn them on and your Golf GTI will look even more striking.

Welcomes you before you’ve even climbed aboard: Operate your remote control key or, if you’ve opted for the Keyless Access, start to approach the vehicle and the headlights and tail lights will light up. The door handle recesses and red strip in the radiator grille will also light up and your Golf GTI will welcome you with light projected out of the exterior mirrors onto the floor.

The classic function knobs in the cockpit have largely made way for touch-sensitive surfaces in the Golf GTI. This allows you to control the Climatronic, for example, simply and intuitively using buttons and sliders. Even the leather trim touch multifunction steering wheel can be operated with a simple tap of the finger. In combination with the intelligent menu navigation you have access to lots of functions. Haptic feedback through gentle vibration confirms every entry.

The GTI look is visible in every corner of the interior. While the premium sport seats in the front are covered in durable fabric in “Scale Paper” design, the hallmark red accents of the GTI design are not only visible on the leather steering wheel but also on the front textile floor mats that come in a complementary colour scheme.

The high-quality “Vienna” leather seats create a chic and premium feel and include a cooling function. The black perforated natural material covers the central seat panels and inner seat bolsters on the front premium sport seats – making the hallmark GTI red stitching look particularly impressive.

Being able to check all the most important information while also keeping an eye on the road: this is the main advantage of the optional head-up display in your Golf. Part of the windscreen becomes a projection area that can display your speed, messages from your driver assist systems or navigation instructions. The projection itself is still clearly legible, even when light is shining directly onto the windscreen. And you can switch off the display at any time if you no longer need it.

The DSG dual clutch gearbox with its brand new smaller selector lever guarantees fun behind the wheel without any interruptions. That’s because you can change seamlessly between the gears and even reduce your fuel consumption. Pressing on the selector lever enables you to easily select your chosen driving mode, which is then activated via the electrically connected shift-by-wire gearbox. 

Do you love narrow bends? Then the Golf GTI is the ideal car for you. That's because it offers you features like a front differential lock (VAQ), that stabilises your Golf GTI if it starts to slip. This gives you better control, even if you have a sporty driving style.

The standard XDS+ delivers more traction, which helps you to feel safe when cornering. For example, the precise application of pressure to one side results in sportier, faster and more accurate cornering, so it comes as no surprise that you feel yourself start to smile when you spot a curve ahead.
