PERFORMANCE
Raw power. Fully-cooked.
Sport Suspension
This autobahn-tuned sport suspension helps take handling to a new level. With firm control, the Golf GTI can stay level in corners and help maintain grip while managing to provide a smooth ride.
Turbocharged
With the turbocharged 2.0L TSI® engine, performance comes standard along with practicality. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s a turbocharged win-win.
Progressive Power Steering with Variable Assistance
The variable-ratio steering system provides a quick response to driver input at higher speeds, while making driving easier at lower speeds. Now the only variable you have to think about is which route you want to take home.
Driving Mode Selection
Selectable driving modes allow you to change the way your car performs. You have the power to adjust the drive and how the car responds on the road.
XDS+ Cross Differential System
Brakes are great for stopping and now for turning. That’s why the Golf GTI features the XDS+ Cross Differential System, which uses the brakes to help maintain power to the outside wheel and to improve cornering.
Paddle Shifters
These available paddle shifters, located near your fingers on the steering wheel, let you quickly shift without taking your hands off the wheel. Take the wheel, and take control.
TECHNOLOGY
High-tech street smarts.
8" Glass Touchscreen Display
This available touchscreen display not only looks great and adds style, but it’s also bright and large, which helps make the display more prominent.
Touchscreen navigation system
Besides looking great, the available sleek glass display helps make the map more prominent, while dynamic route guidance can assist you with turn-by-turn information.
Take your Favorite Apps for a Ride.
VW Car-Net App-Connect allows you to connect your compatible smartphone with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or MirrorLink to access select apps on the touchscreen display. From streaming music to mobile apps, it can be accessed on the touchscreen.
Pedestrian Monitoring
The available Pedestrian Monitoring (included in Front Assist) feature can warn of pedestrians crossing in front of the vehicle and, under certain circumstances can, brake automatically to help prevent or mitigate the outcome of a collision with a pedestrian if the driver doesn’t respond adequately to the warnings.
Rear View Camera System
Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you need it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Design
If looks could be turbocharged.
LED headlights with Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS)
These available headlights create bright beams of light to help improve visibility, lasting longer and using less energy than halogen bulbs. The Adaptive Front-lighting System allows the headlights to turn slightly with the direction of your steering at certain speeds. Lighting takes a brilliant turn.
Top Sport seats
Bucket-style, race-inspired front seats. The large, bolstered design really lets you sink into the action, whether you’re behind the wheel or you’re the copilot.
LED Taillights
Sure, they look great, but that’s only part of the story. They’re also efficient and long-lasting.
SAFETY
We can’t predict. But we can engineer.
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI 4-Door has earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A high-5 for high-performance.
Safety Cage
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps deflect it away from the driver and passengers.
Intelligent Crash Response System
In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights. It helps react if you might not be able to.
