In terms of driving prowess, versatility, and pure unadulterated
style, the Golf GTI truly stands out. Turbocharged horsepower
and torque and a sport-tuned suspension add to its allure. From

road stretch out before you.

es are great for stopping and now for

the XDS+ Cross Differential System, which
uses the brakes to help maintain power to

Driving Mode Selection

When it comes to looks and performance, the Golf GTI is as distinctive as
it is refined. Let’s start with what’s under the hood: a 2.0L TSI® engine delivers
turbocharged performance and plenty of torque.* Its aggressive stance, fast
roofline, and 18" alloy wheels give the Golf GTI unmistakable style. It’s flash,
with a whole lot of substance.

If looks could be turbocharged.
