Say Auf Wiedersehen in 60 Seconds
Edge-of-your-seat driving dynamics is what the VW GTI is all about. The turbocharged 170HP 4cyl rockets you off the line like your lederhosen depends on it! Ideally bolted to an aggressive 6-speed manual transmission that helps you unlock your inner speed-demon, you can also find thrilling performance on a specially designed DSG dual-clutch 7-speed automatic with Tiptronic shifting and on-the-fly sport mode. The steering is so intuitive on the VW Golf GTI; you'd almost think it came with telepathy as standard equipment. All that power is kept under control with HBA, EBD, and ABS - translation: awesome brakes!
The Golf GTI Can Turn Heads (and Knock Off Some Hats)
With exciting colors like Tornado Red and Dark Iron Blue, among others, there's no doubt that people will see you coming - and see you going! Embrace the Golf GTI heritage with a dual-tone plaid interior or luxurious leather if that's more your style. Speaking of seats, the rear-bench folds FLAT, which means you can easily pack in your extra set of race tires for a day at the track or an epic supermarket sweep when your fridge is down to bratwurst and sauerkraut. If you're looking for Golf GTI upgrades, the GTI has you covered. You can add a larger infotainment screen, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assistance. Not to mention accessory and lifestyle packages including places to keep your pets (sorry, pet racing-goggles are discontinued).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a GTI a hatchback?

When you choose the new VW GTI, you'll find that its hatchback body offers 91.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and can store up to 34.5 cubic feet of cargo.
What does GTI stand for?
As an acronym, "GTI" in a new VW GTI hatchback stands for "Grand Touring Injection." It may sound strange today, but when the model was introduced in 1976, fuel injection (which is what "injection" refers to) was a high-end feature that you would typically find on expensive performance vehicles. "Grand Touring" means a focus on high-class comfort, so when you put them together, "GTI" stands for a powerful daily driver with top-end features.
Do all GTI come with Turbo?
Yes, every new VW GTI hatchback comes with a turbocharged engine. Specifically, the new VW GTI for sale offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Either a precision six-speed manual transmission or a lightning-fast seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will be at your command.
