Engine & Transmission
The 2.0 L TSI® turbocharged engine delivers an impressive 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, while the standard “VAQ” electronically controlled limited slip differential gives you sure-footed traction for all sorts of challenging conditions. The GTI’s 7-speed DSG® transmission delivers lightning-fast gear changes for a seamless driving experience.

*Please drive safely and obey all local traffic laws, including speed limits.
Vehicle Dynamics Manager
Perfectly Balanced
The Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM) constantly monitors driver input to optimize vehicle response, creating a neutral balance with minimal understeer.
In the Autobahn trim, which is equipped with available Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) adaptive dampers, the VDM can adjust individual wheel damping rates 200 times per second for improved lateral agility and stability.
Limited Slip Differential
Let's Talk Torque
The Vorderachsquersperre (or VAQ) is a torque-sensing, electro-hydraulic limited slip differential that’s electronically controlled for ultimate precision. Working in concert with the Golf GTI’s Vehicle Dynamics Manager, VAQ controls torque distribution across the front axle. When accelerating out of a corner or in slippery conditions, VAQ is designed to precisely shift power left –and right for improved traction and control.
Dynamic Chassis Control
Fine-Tuned to You
Available on the Autobahn trim, Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) reacts to the road surface and driving conditions to adjust the suspension damping rate and optimize performance. Pre-set profiles include Comfort, Eco, and Sport, while Individual mode offers even further customization.
Sports Steering Wheel
Go Hands-on
Take control with the GTI’s new sport steering wheel, featuring a refined design and physical buttons.
Summer Performance Tires
Grip the Road With Confidence
Grip the road with confidence. The Autobahn trim comes standard with 19" Queenstown machined alloy wheels and high-performance summer tires for maximum grip and responsiveness.
Disclaimer
*The use of winter tires is mandatory in some provinces. Proper winter or all-season tires are recommended for wet, snowy, or icy conditions.
