2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI

The 2020 VW Golf GTI

This GTI has a more aggressive body kit, a new boot spoiler and larger chromed exhaust tips.


Engine

The 2020 VW Golf GTI is the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder TSI engine. With its lightweight design and direct-injection system, it doles out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This enables the Golf GTI to reach a top speed of 155 mph and go from zero to 60 mph in only 5.9 seconds. Buyers of the Golf GTI have a choice of two transmissions: the 7-speed DSG automatic with Tiptronic paddle shifters — and for driving purists — a 6-speed manual. 

 Lights

The headlamps are notably smaller. While they retain the dual-light layout, the two sections stand out on their own, as the outer element is larger, while the inner piece is slimmer. The outer lights also have C-shaped LED lights, with the upper segment part of a longer stripe that runs at the top of the headlamps to meet the silver insert in the grille. This forms a line that runs the entire width of the front fascia.

Dashboard


The dashboard is very clean and it looks very upscale.It’s made almost entirely of plastic. The upper section of the dash incorporates two digital displays. There’s an 8.25-inch screen in the center for access to the infotainment system and a similar display for the instrument cluster.

It has a 6.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display. The infotainment system also offers SD card and new USB-C (one port) multimedia interfaces, as well as a rearview camera and standard Bluetooth® technology for compatible devices. App-Connect smartphone integration for compatible devices is standard.It offers users the ability to run select smartphone apps directly on the vehicle’s display through services such as Apple CarPlay®, Android AutoTM and MirrorLink®.

Gear






Seats

It has a pair of heavily bolstered tartan sports seats.


Cruise control

Adaptive Cruise Control, which used data from the GPS and navigation system to lower speed before bends and roundabouts or when it detects speed limit signs. The Front Assist feature has been updated to include cyclist monitoring, swerve support, and, for the first time in a Volkswagen, oncoming vehicle braking when turning. The latter brings the vehicle to a stop when an oncoming car approaches the lane you intend to cross.

Volkswagen also offers a couple of plug-in hybrid versions.

The base model is called eHybrid and combines a 1.4-liter TSI engine, an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, and a six-speed DSG transmission
