For a sporty, elegant appearance

The striking red line, together with dynamic bumpers in honeycomb design, are the unmistakable trade of the GTI. At the back, the roof spoiler and chrome-plated tail pipes catch the eye, while the LED tail light clusters round off the appearance. Attractive GTI lettering is emblazoned on the front doors as standard.

Enjoy sporty comfort

All of the components inside the GTI are carefully coordinated with each other to give the vehicle its distinctively sporty look. This starts with the GTI logos on the front seats and continues with the leather-look armrests and the specific decorative inlays. The multifunctional steering wheel with its red stitching with classic push buttons and the standard high-gloss black centre console round off the overall high-quality impression. A real highlight: the optional 32.7 cm (12.9 inch) infotainment display, which gives you access to entertainment, news, navigation and more.

GL GTI interior voice assistant

Say “Hello” to your Golf.

The new voice assistant allows you to conveniently operate your infotainment system. For example, you can select the radio station or telephone number you’re looking for.

Start the function by saying “Hello” and turn the vehicle into an intelligent conversation partner. The voice assistant also understands free formulations such as “I’m cold.” or “Where are there Japanese restaurants in Auckland?”. In addition, thanks to digital microphones, it recognises whether the driver or the passenger is speaking in order, for example, to provide the air conditioning specifically for the person making the request.

Voice assistant will also appear visually to you on the centre display, with interactions enabled via graphics. The system also asks questions or lets itself be interrupted.

GTI, open up

Save yourself the bother of searching for your car key in your trousers, handbag or jacket pocket: once you have the key with you and you are no more than 1.5 metres away from your Golf GTI, the doors and boot lid optionally unlock automatically as if by magic. You also don’t need the key to start the engine. All it takes is the touch of a button. And if the optional Keyless Access isn’t working, then it just means that your key isn’t in your pocket after all. Perhaps it’s on the kitchen table?

At a glance, all of the important information

With the optional head-up display, part of the windscreen becomes a projection surface that can display your speed, messages from your driver assist systems or navigation instructions. The projection itself is still clearly legible, even when light is shining directly onto the windscreen. So you remain perfectly informed – without needing to take your eyes off the road.
