This is what Autobahn dreams are made ofThe iconic versatile hatch has reached new heights of versatility. Power and style come together in the new 2019 Golf GTI. The thrilling turbocharged engine with 228 horsepower, sport suspension and a flurry of performance features, plus sport styling, prove European muscle is not an oxymoron. Case in point.

Sport suspensionLow means go. Not only does a lower suspension make for a more aerodynamic and stylish ride, but it’s also stiffer and more responsive to your demands.

Available panoramic sunroofThis driver’s skylight is something you won’t find in the Golf R. It spans the front two-thirds of the roof, so you can enjoy that top-down feeling, minus the bad hair day.

GTI Autobahn in Pure White

228 HP turbocharged engine The outside says zippy, but what’s under the hood says pure power. With your choice of 7-speed dual-clutch Tiptronic® shifting or 6-speed manual transmission, the Golf GTI makes sure you feel all of it, no matter your preference.

Mechanical limited-slip differentialBends in the road? Straighten them. To keep a sure footing through corners, the Golf GTI makes sure your outside wheel rotates faster and manages power between the inside and outside wheel, letting you maintain speed and traction.

The Rabbit rebornIt’s back and more fun to drive than ever. The iconic 2019 GTI Rabbit turns up the sports exterior and interior styling on an already sporty hatch. From the Dynamic Chassis Control that lets you adjust the firmness of your suspension on the fly, to details like the black-painted rear spoiler with a Vmax lip, this Rabbit GTI puts a thrilling twist on a cult classic.
