The Golf GTI

Enjoy sporty comfort

All of the components inside the GTI are carefully coordinated with each other to give the vehicle its distinctively sporty look. This starts with the GTI logos on the front seats and continues with the leather-look armrests and the specific decorative inlays. The multifunctional steering wheel with its red stitching with classic push buttons and the standard high-gloss black centre console round off the overall high-quality impression. A real highlight: the optional 32.7 cm (12.9 inch) infotainment display, which gives you access to entertainment, news, navigation and more.

Enhanced performance

Thanks to the performance enhancement from 180 to 195kW, you can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. The front differential lock combined with the optional progressive steering ensures even greater comfort on your journeys even at a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

For comfortable travel

In the new Golf GTI you sit not only comfortable, but also flexible. The standard seats are upholstered with Scale Paper fabric sports seats. For an added touch of luxury, the GTI Touring Package offers Vienna leather sports seats.

Leather seats with active air conditioning are available on request, providing cooling in summer and warmth in winter.

Choose your profile

Choose the driving mode that suits your driving style best thanks to a range of available driving profiles. For example, you can try the new sports mode, which offers you torque reserve when stationary and optimised launch control as an option.

Your personal touch

You can gently illuminate the interior of your new Golf GTI with just a tap of the finger and choose from up to 30 colours as an option. Multiple light strips allow you to create a personalised lighting atmosphere.

Keeps you in lane. And keeps others at a distance.

With the Travel Assist you have an extremely useful driving assistant on board. It can keep you in your lane, maintain a minimum distance to the vehicle in front and the maximum speed you have set.

One of the features it uses to do this is adaptive lane guidance. This actively keeps the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Travel Assist adapts to your driving style and can also drive further to the left or right in its own lane instead of exactly in the middle.

If your Volkswagen is fitted with Park Assist, Side Assist and a navigation system, Travel Assist can also actively support you when changing lanes on the motorway as an option.

Here, the vehicle speed can be adapted to applicable speed limits as well as road layouts (bends, roundabouts etc.).

If you no longer show any driving activity as a result of a medical emergency, the optional Emergency Assist can register this and attempt to reactivate you. If it is unsuccessful in doing so, it can bring the vehicle to a controlled stop and prevent an accident, within the system limits.

Staying in lane.

Monotonous journeys can sometimes turn into dangerous situations. This is where Lane Assist can help: From a speed of 60 km/h, it can detect whether the vehicle unintentionally leaves its own lane. With corrective steering intervention, it can direct the driver’s attention back to what’s happening on the road.

The Side Assist can alert you to dangerous lane changes. An LED indicator in the exterior mirror tells you when a vehicle is in your blind spot or approaching quickly from behind.

When you signal to change lane, Side Assist calculates whether one of these vehicles could pose a danger to you based on position or speed – and draws your attention to this by flashing conspicuously.

Together with the Lane Assist lane departure warning it can also provide support through corrective steering intervention.

The Rear Traffic Alert (standard on R-Line) warns about vehicles crossing your path when reversing out of a parking space. If you do not react, the system can intervene and brake the vehicle to alleviate or even prevent a collision.

The exit warning system (standard on R-Line) helps you to avoid dangerous situations when exiting your vehicle. It can detect when another vehicle is approaching from behind and warn you acoustically and visually before getting out of the car.

Keeps its distance. And sticks to speed limits.

The Adaptive Cruise Control ACC helps you to maintain a previously set maximum speed and preset distance to the vehicle in front.

The standard Front Assist emergency braking system with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring can warn you of critical situations involving pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. It can even brake automatically in emergency situations. In evasive and turn-off situations, Front Assist can potentially prevent an impending accident within the limits of the system by issuing a warning or applying the emergency brake.
