Take the wheel, enjoy the road.

With 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, plus an advanced dynamic steering system, the road is your playground. You’re sure to whip up some fun wherever you go.

Where the fun hits the road

40 years ago, we brought the Golf GTI to the U.S. and elevated the experience of driving. Today our engineers remain obsessed with stability, precision, and cornering to enhance driving dynamics, continuing to raise the bar on comfort.

Driver-focused and optimized for fun

Now you can drive exactly how sporty you want to. The Vehicle Dynamics Manager inside the Golf GTI synchronizes a suite of complex components, bringing you live performance data and personalization options.

Visual tech that will make the future jealous

When it comes to technology, the Golf GTI delivers a full suite of sophisticated features to bring you effortless ways to maximize your driving enjoyment.

An innovative, intelligent, intuitive instrument display

A new road of experience meets you in the Golf GTI. The visually striking Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro sports the iconic honeycomb design with GTI logo. Within the dash, it screams performance. The fully digital display includes a viewing option for Digital Sport Layout Gauges with real time performance data like a g-force meter and torque output.

License to fully rock out

With its innovative features and a variety of premium content, the available SiriusXM with 360L curates a personalized experience for every driver. Try it out with a three-month Platinum Plan trial subscription. When amplified by the available Harman Kardon premium sound system, which lends clarity and sophistication to your road tunes, your front seat becomes the front row.

Fun details make the difference

Celebrate the big milestone down to the tiniest detail. The anniversary interior includes signature touches to mark this rare take on the Golf GTI.

Equipped to exceed your expectations

Enjoy increased sportiness without having to compromise the ride. The DCC^® active chassis control system can sense your car’s situation, reacting to surface conditions up to 200 times per second, controlling the damping force for each individual wheel, and continuously upgrading your driving experience.

Absolutely sporty

Go full-on fun with the aggressively styled, iconic Golf GTI and a design that celebrates exhilarating performance.

It’s what’s inside that—moves

The Golf GTI loves driving as much as you do, and it shows. With digital displays and lighting that welcome you in when opening the doors, it’s a triumph for the driver looking for excitement.

Sleek meet spacious

Useful for your everyday life and those long weekend adventures, the roomy and versatile cargo hold in the Mk8 Golf GTI offers 34.5 cubic feet with the second row folded down.⁠

Stay focused.

Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you want it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

We’re rigid about safety.

Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.

Intelligent by design.

In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags⁠, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.⁠ It helps react if you might not be able to.

We think ahead.

Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.

Safety. Engineered from the ground up.

Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so you know when to add air.

Equipped for peace of mind.

From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing systems.

This calls for a celebration of driving

There’s nothing better than being recognized for making a car that people can feel safe driving. The 2023 Golf GTI has been named a 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK by the IIHS.⁠

High Beam Control (Light assist) standard on Autobahn models. Not available on other 2023 Golf GTI trims. 2022 IIHS “TOP SAFETY PICK” is based on “good” ratings in six crashworthiness tests plus no less than an “acceptable” rating for available headlights, and no less than an “advanced” rating for both front crash prevention tests.
