Race-inspired looks.

You’ll most certainly get noticed in the 2017 Golf GTI. It was made for driving enthusiasts and definitely looks the part.

From the roof spoiler to the sports exhaust, this is one hot hatch.

Available Bi-Xenon headlights with

Adaptive Front-light System (AFS)

Aside from being super bright, the Adaptive Front-light

System gives the headlights the ability to turn with the car, helping you see what lies ahead better.

Red painted brake calipers

Our red painted brake calipers make you look fast even when you’re standing still.

The irony isn’t lost on us.

Performance on demand.

Satisfy your inner driver in sport driving mode, or keep the crew comfortable in comfort mode. The 2017 Golf GTI was created for drivers who sometimes have to bring the family along.

Sport suspension

Improved stability, control, and performance.

Three more reasons to get behind the wheel of a 2017 Golf GTI.

Cross Differential System (XDS)

Turn the corner on cornering with our standard wheel lock/stabilizer system. If a wheel spins after turning a corner, XDS will apply that wheel’s brake while directing a better grip to it. Sporty never felt so safe.

Available Dynamic

Chassis Control with

Driving Mode Selection

You don’t have to settle for a middle-of-the- road ride when you can opt for a dynamic one. Whether it’s sport, normal, or comfort, the suspension of your 2017 Golf GTI allows you to enjoy better steering responsiveness to handle any driving situation.

Long drives? No problem.

All that fun driving can be tiring. Good thing the 2017 Golf GTI knows how to treat you like the skilled master you are. Indulge in a refined interior that makes pleasure driving a true pleasure.

Customizable ambient interior lighting

Add a true level of customization after the sun sets.

Ambient LED lighting in the doors, foot wells and centre console adds a dash of sportiness and helps you find things more easily.

Leather-wrapped multifunction sport steering wheel

Never take your hands off the wheel again. And not just because it’s wrapped in leather. The music, navigation and settings are all close at hand.

Available auto-dimming interior rearview mirror

Enjoy a better driving experience at night with a mirror that automatically dims to prevent glaring headlights from impeding your vision.

Illuminated “GTI” scuff plates

Open the door and let the “oooo’s” begin. The polished scuff plate lights up in dramatic electric blue, letting everyone know, this is a GTI.

Safety at the edge of your seat.

It doesn’t matter if it’s tight city streets or wide-open freeways.

The Golf GTI wasn’t just designed to help get you there quickly

– it was designed to help get you there safely too.

Dramatization.*

We went out of our way to make the 2017 Golf GTI a fun car to drive.

But we also devoted a lot of attention to the safety features. Whether you’re parking, driving in heavy traffic or enjoying the open road, you can depend on Volkswagen’s advanced technology to help keep you safer.

*Not all airbags will deploy, and if multiple airbags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating.

Available Lane Assist*

Sensors send a vibration to your steering wheel when you drift outside of your lane, making sure that when you hit the road, you always stay the course.

Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS)

The system automatically monitors pressure in all four tires and displays the information in the instrument cluster, so you always know when one of your tires needs attention or if there is a sudden loss of pressure.

Available Park Assist*

Welcome to your very own personal parking attendant. Automatic Park Assist steers the car in and out of parallel parking spots.

Available Front Assist with Autonomous

Emergency Braking*

A built-in traffic monitor detects situations where the distance to the vehicle in front of you is too close, and helps reduce the vehicle’s stopping distance when required.

At low speeds (up to 30 km/h) the system can automatically brake.

Available Adaptive

Cruise Control*

†

Your speed and distance from cars ahead is automatically regulated without you having to touch gas or brake pedals. You can also specify the distance between you and the car ahead. It’s the stress-free way to go for a ride.

Electronic Stability Control

(ESC)

Our technology helps keep your vehicle stable, so you can come to grips with low-grip conditions.

†

*Driver assistance feature. Drivers must continue to perform manual checks before proceeding and pay full attention to the road.

In emergency situations, it is still necessary to apply the brakes manually.
