Golf GTI

So fast it’s tough to clink clearly.

Better. Faster. Lighter.

Control that defies physics.

This shot of pure adrenaline will leave your wits behind. But if you still yearn for more, the exclusive Performance Pack will push the envelope even further with 169kW of power and dynamic handling that results in a package boasting cutting-edge performance. The GTI has the winning edge.

Strap yourself in, take a deep breath and press down the aluminium-capped accelerator pedal. From that moment the benchmark performance of the Golf GTI will take over in all its glory, as you sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. And it’s up to 42kg lighter than the previous generation, resulting in the best ever power to weight ratio. With a top speed of 248 km/h for the 2.0 TSI Performance Pack, it’s no wonder the Golf GTI is defining a whole new era for high performance cars.

Harness the competitive spirit of the Golf GTI with ease as you feel the impeccable best-in-class handling and driveability at work. The GTI sports suspension asserts its dominance with its front axle McPherson struts and independent suspension, as well as a multi-link rear axle with a modular lightweight suspension. The all-new standard progressive steering and Transverse Electronic Differential Lock (XDS) provides an intuitive and instinctive response as you manoeuvre hairpin bends with pin-point precision.

Interior eye candy. With all the power that the Golf GTI unleashes, it is just as essential that the interior is built for premium luxury and driving comfort. The leather interior with red stitching and chrome trims bolster you perfectly as you tear up the road. The high quality interior cabin has a premium and sophisticated layout and feel. Wrap yourself in superior comfort and luxury. The GTI’s interior is much more cockpit, much less cabin.

Future-proof innovation.

Safety first. Last. Everything.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Rebels. Pioneers. Mavericks. They are the ones who shape the world. That’s why the Golf GTI defines a new era of innovation. With optional innovative features such as the KESSY keyless entry, Adaptive Chassis Control, Park Assist, rear-view camera and high beam control Light Assist you can make the impossible possible. A 6.5” affinity touchscreen senses your finger movements and reacts even before you touch it. You can take pleasure in listening to the Composition Media Radio/CD system with MP3/WMA compatibility, 8 speakers, Bluetooth, SD Card and USB port. The future has arrived in the GTI.

All leaders have vision and foresight. That is why the Golf GTI has a host of intuitive driver assist systems to keep you safe. The Rest Assist Fatigue Detection System monitors your driving behaviour and lets you know when you need to take a break, while the Multi-collision Braking System complements its ability to accelerate with phenomenal stopping power in the event of an accident. The new generation Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-Spin Regulator (ASR), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) will make sure you stay firmly on the road. Because at Volkswagen we put people first. Always.

Introducing the Performance Pack. Think even sharper handling, stronger brakes and increased power with an additional 7kW. The front limited-slip differential lock results in the ability to accelerate out of corners earlier and Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) allows for various driving modes (Comfort, Normal and Sport) with the push of a button. We’ve also added bigger front disc brakes and topped off the package with red painted brake calipers with GTI branding. Get ready to impress.

Beauty and the beast. The exterior design is all unmistakably GTI with the red pinstriped front honeycomb grille, dual chrome tailpipes, red brake calipers and 18” Austin alloy wheels. Its independent spirit can be sensed in its aggressive stance, and the standard LED front fog lights as well as the optional Bi-Xenon headlight package only adds to the pedigree of the Golf GTI. The perfect combination of beauty and beast.

All vehicles are compatible with lead-free fuel. *Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions values were obtained in accordance with the prescribed uniform measuring standard (SANS 20101: 2006 / ECE R101: 2005 in its currently applicable version). The verified values do not apply to a specific vehicle and do not constitute part of the product offer. They are provided solely for the purposes of comparison between different vehicle models. Because of the need to maintain strict comparability of results achieved by the standard tests, they cannot be fully representative of real-life driving conditions. Variations in driving styles and in road, vehicle and ambient conditions, will have a bearing on the results achieved on the road. For these reasons consumption achieved on the road will not necessarily accord with these verified values. Based on lightest variable (no options) and 90% tank filling.
