2015 Golf GTI

Always on the fast track. Few cars have gripped drivers as instantly as the Golf GTI. Considering it has both defined and redefined the hot hatch for over 30 years, it’s no wonder. Fast-forward to today, and we’ve made this sporty Golf GTI lower, wider, and faster than ever before. Something you’ll get used to pretty quickly. That’s the Power of German Engineering.

GTIGolf

Less weight.

Performance. Usually, making a vehicle stronger means adding more weight. But with

the Golf GTI, we incorporated ultra-high-strength steel, which is both stronger and

lighter than conventional steel. So going, turning, and stopping are all improved. And

by adding new technologies that help improve handling performance, along with a

wider stance, it’s a stronger performer on the track too.

Sport suspension. This autobahn-tuned suspension separates

the Golf GTI from the rest of the pack. With tighter body control,

the Golf GTI can stay more level in corners and it improves grip,

while still managing to provide a smooth ride.

More go.

XDS® Cross Differential System. Brakes are great for stopping.

And now, for turning. That’s why the Golf GTI features the XDS+

Cross Differential System in conjunction with the available VAQ

front limited-slip differential lock, which uses the brakes to help

transfer power to the outside wheel and to improve cornering.

Driving Mode Selection. We all like having choices. With the

standard Driving Mode Selection and available DCC, you can

adjust the steering, engine response, and handling of your Golf

GTI just the way you like it. It’s nice to be in control.

The most powerful engine to ever be found in a

Golf GTI is also lighter and more fuel efficient

than before.* Some might call it magic. We just

call it 30 years of turbocharging experience.Progressive steering. This variable-ratio steering system

provides quick response to driver input at higher speeds, while

making driving easier at lower speeds. Now the only variable

you have to think about is which route you want to take home.

Launch Control. Sometimes, we can all use a little help. And to

help you get going more quickly, the Golf GTI features the

available Launch Control system on DSG®- equipped models to

help put the power down, making the fun go up.**

Performance Package. Some of us are harder to please. That’s

why we’re pleased to offer this available Performance Package,

which adds an additional 10 horsepower (total output of 220 hp),

a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, and high-performance

front and rear brakes with GTI embossed lettering.

Let’s cut to the chase.

Performance. There’s no denying it. The heart of any sports car is its

engine, which is why we decided to give this one an adrenaline

boost. With the most horsepower and torque of any Golf GTI ever

built for the U.S., and new performance-enhancing technologies, this

hot hatch has performance that’s sure to get your heart pumping too.

Design and quality. Quality can be hard to find. But in a Golf GTI, quality is sitting right

in front of you. Under you. And all around you. From the available performance package

with red brake calipers, aggressive 18" wheels, and available LED Daytime Running

Lights, to the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, the Golf GTI puts you at the center

of it all. No wonder it was named one of Ward’s® 10 Best Interiors. So take a seat, and

take a step up in quality.

Spend some quality time surrounded by quality.

Technology. We all like having the latest technologies. That’s why

we gave the Golf GTI available features like an all-new touchscreen

navigation system, so that hidden getaway you’re looking for no

longer has to be so hidden. And Volkswagen Car-Net® connected

car features* help you stay connected with your car even when

you’re apart from it. If you want concert-quality sound, just turn up

the dial on the available Fender® Premium Audio System. With all

of the new technologies available on the Golf GTI, the best seats in

the house can now be found sitting in your driveway.

We designed it to perform here.

Safety and Driver Assist. Life is unpredictable. That’s why the Golf GTI was built to

perform in more ways than one with features like our signature Intelligent Crash Response

System (ICRS) and advanced cage.* Along with the latest technologies like an Automatic

Post-Collision Braking System and an available Forward Collision Warning. As impressive

as these systems are, we hope it’s one performance you never have to see.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)*

Pressure sensors for side airbag deployment

Adaptive airbags†

Forward Collision Warning††

Seven stability-enhancing systems

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

PASSIVE ACTIVE

Forward Collision Warning. The available Forward Collision

Warning system† can help you detect what’s coming. If you

approach an object too quickly, the system provides visual and

audible warnings. Just another way we’re looking out for you.

Adaptive airbags. Our airbags are designed to adapt to crash

severity, and special sensors in the doors deploy the Side Curtain

Protection® airbags faster in the event of a side impact. We’re

thinking ahead, from every angle.†

Ditto.

*The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. **This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time. †Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. ††Feature available on select models.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. Not every collision

brings a car to a stop. That’s why we made the Automatic Post-

Collision Braking System. It can help keep your car from moving

after a collision, reducing the chance of any additional impacts.

Seven stability-enhancing systems. Almost every car has

stability control nowadays. But very few car companies go to the

length we do to help you maintain control. Control freaks, rejoice.

Park Distance Control (PDC). Even when you can’t see an object

you’re approaching while parking, the available PDC can, and it

alerts you with beeps so you can tell how close something is to

your car. Sometimes, we all just need a little space.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Golf GTI is

sensitive, especially when it comes to its tires. To help stay efficient

and safe, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you to a loss of

tire pressure so you know when to put more air in.

*Requires compatible device. **High-performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. The recommended all-season tire size specified for your car or its equivalent should be used. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim, or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. †Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. ††The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. ‡Roadside Assistance provided by Allstate. ‡‡The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the vehicle’s scheduled maintenance for one year or 10,000 miles, whichever occurs first, only on 2015 models.
