SAFETY FIRST. LAST. EVERYTHING. All leaders have vision and foresight. That is why the New 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.

INTERIOR EYE CANDY. With all the power that the New 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 New GTI’s interior is much more cockpit, much less cabin.

The exterior design is all unmistakably GTI with the red pinstriped

The New Golf GTI The undisputed performance icon is back! Still unmistakably GTI with its red pinstriped front honeycomb grille and dual chrome tailpipes, every body panel and part has been innovated to an entirely new level of perfection. And under the skin? Well, drive it and you be the judge!
