Bluetooth® with audio streaming
Bluetooth® with audio streaming

It’s the coolest way to connect, hands down. Once your device is synched, you can make phone calls and stream your music without taking your hands off the steering wheel.¹

Electromechanical power steering with variable assistance and active return
Electromechanical power steering with variable assistance and active return

Electromechanical steering is a more responsive, fuel-efficient, and eco-conscious steering method than conventional steering.¹ In other words, it’s a win-win-win.

Details

Cross Differential System (XDS)
Cross Differential System (XDS)

Corner with confidence. The XDS helps anticipate inside wheel spin and actively directs the power to the outside wheel.

Heated front seats
Heated front seats

Heated front seats. Your most nonessential essential feature. With three different settings, you can find your perfect degree of toasty.

Details

Sport Suspension
Sport Suspension

To be one with the road, you need to get closer to it. The GTI sits lower thanks to its sport suspension, to help it handle better and corner tighter.

Details

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)

In the event of a collision, the Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) unlocks the doors, turns off power to the fuel pump, and turns on the hazard lights.²

Details

Crash-optimized front end
Crash-optimized front end

Integrated into the front structure of your GTI are impact-absorbing elements that allow for compression during a collision. And that helps keep the impact from impacting you.

Details

Aluminum alloy sport pedals
Aluminum alloy sport pedals

You may not be a race car driver, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have race-inspired sport pedals.

2.0L TSI®, 16-valve, DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with intercooler; 200 hp, 207 lbs/ft of torque
2.0L TSI®, 16-valve, DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with intercooler; 200 hp, 207 lbs/ft of torque

Seriously fun. This turbocharged engine with 200 hp and 207 lbs/ft of torque comes standard in every GTI. It’s fast.¹ It’s efficient.² And it means business.

Details

Rear fully independent four-link suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar
Rear fully independent four-link suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar

We can’t change the road, but we can change your ride. With an independent suspension, each wheel pivots separately, so a bump in the road isn’t really a bump in a road.

Details

Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod® cable
Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod® cable

GTI fits your life—and your iPod.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS helps keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops and helps you retain control over the steering during emergency braking.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

We admit it. We’re control freaks. We believe you should always be in control—even when you’re avoiding something unexpected.
