2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0T S 4dr Hatchback

Overview

The iconic Volkswagen Golf GTI was arguably the first "hot hatch" when VW made a small hatchback fun to drive. Now in its seventh generation, the GTI still lives up to the original's sporting intentions. The 4-door Golf GTI is powered by a 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and the choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed auto-shift manual transmission. Trim specific standard equipment includes 18--inch aluminum wheels, heated mirrors, a power sunroof, LED headlights and daytime running lights, heated sport bucket front seats, SiriusXM HD satellite radio, 9 Fender speakers, Bluetooth, a 6.5- or 8-inch touchscreen display and VW Car-Net App-Connect smart device connectivity. Safety features such as six airbags, a rear view camera, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist and a post-collision braking system are standard across all trims, while a Blind Spot Monitor, Forward Collision Warning w/Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Traffic Alert and Pedestrian Monitoring are standard on all trims except the base model. The Golf GTI gets changes to the engine and transmissions for 2019 as well as minor changes to features.
