Power has met its hatch.

The seventh-generation VW Golf GTI isn’t just a hatch: it’s the hatch every hatch aspires to be. Not every hatchback comes standard with a 220-horsepower turbocharged engine producing 258 lb.-ft. of torque, but not every hatchback is the Golf GTI. With a sport suspension tuned for the autobahn, the Golf GTI grips corners smoothly, responding quickly to driver inputs at high speeds thanks to the variable-ratio steering system. A standard XDS+® Cross Differential System further improves cornering by maintaining power to the outside wheels during turns, granting the Golf GTI smoothness and stability, even when the road might object. Take advantage of the available paddle shifters for quick manual shifting and available GTI performance ventilated disc brakes for a level of control and command that few roads can resist. A high-performance lifestyle demands a high-performance vehicle. Naturally, performing is what the Golf GTI does best.
