What to Know About the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI

The 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a car that has evolved over more than forty years of production without straying far from the general idea of its first iteration. It is often described as the compact sports car par excellence, offering a good balance between driving pleasure and practicality.

Under the hood

The engine of the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. It can be mated to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission for quick, precise gear changes. Those who prefer to change gears themselves can still order their GTI with a six-speed manual gearbox, but 2024 will be the last year for this transmission on the market. All 2024 Golf GTIs feature front-wheel drive and an electronic limited-slip differential that reacts in concert with electronic stability control to better transmit power to the road without interfering with the steering system.

Sporty driving

Of course, the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI doesn't just rely on its powerful engine to deliver impressive performance. In fact, the Golf GTI features a firmer suspension than the seventh-generation GTI, and can be fitted with DCC adaptive dampers that can alter the damping level 200 times per second, improving handling in all circumstances. In addition, the GTI's braking system has been designed to provide shorter stopping distances and more precise pedal modulation during hard braking.

A comfortable, dynamic interior

The 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI also boasts a spacious, comfortable interior that's up to any situation. Drivers of all sizes will find plenty of space and a comfortable driving position, while the hatchback body shape gives rear passengers generous head and shoulder room. What's more, the 2024 Golf GTI's cargo space allows it to carry up to 563.5 litres of cargo behind the rear seats, and 976.9 litres when these seats are folded down.

A Good value

The 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI represents good value on the market, since it offers a high level of performance and comprehensive equipment at a lower price than some other sporty subcompacts. In addition, the Golf GTI is offered in three versions, with starting prices of $37,310 for the base model, $39,410 for the GTI Autobahn, and $43,510 for the range-topping GTI Performance.

In short, the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a car that offers an excellent balance between performance, comfort and practicality. As such, it continues to proudly carry on the heritage of the original Golf GTI, since it's a car that can be used every day and also offers weekend thrills.
