Golf GTI Specifications

SO FAST IT’S TOUGH TO CLINK THEARLY.
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
New GTI has the winning edge.
BETTER. FASTER. LIGHTER.
Strap yourself in, take a deep breath and press down the
aluminium capped accelerator pedal. From that moment the
benchmark performance of the New Golf GTI will take over in
all its glory, as you sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. And
it’s up to 42kgs lighter than the previous generation, resulting
in the best ever power to weight ratio. With a top speed of
246 km/h for the 2.0 TSI Manual and 244 km/h for the 2.0 TSI
DSG®, it’s no wonder the New Golf GTI is defining a whole new
era for high performance cars.
CONTROL THAT DEFIES PHYSICS.
Harness the competitive spirit of the New 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.
FUTURE-PROOF INNOVATION.
Rebels. Pioneers. Mavericks. They are the ones who shape
the world. That’s why the New Golf GTI defines a new era of
innovation. With optional innovative features such as the KESSY
Keyless entry, Adaptive Chassis Control, Park Assist, Rearview
camera and High Beam control “Light Assist” you can make
the impossible possible. A 5.8” 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 & USB port. The future has arrived in the New GTI.
SMALL CHANGES CAN MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
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 & 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 New Golf GTI. The perfect combination of beauty
and beast.

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 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!
