Summer in Montreal brings longer days, clearer roads, and the urge to make every drive count. The 2025 Golf GTI delivers exactly what performance enthusiasts need when the weather turns warm and the streets become your playground.
With 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0L TSI engine, the GTI transforms routine trips around the city into engaging experiences. Whether you're taking the scenic route along the St. Lawrence or navigating downtown traffic, this hot hatch responds to your driving style with precision.
Power and Response Built for Summer Adventures
The GTI's EA888evo4 four-cylinder engine produces its peak torque from 1,750 to 4,300 RPM, giving you strong acceleration exactly when you need it. The 7-speed DSG transmission delivers quick shifts, especially helpful when merging onto highways or overtaking slower traffic on Montreal's busy routes.
This powertrain setup means you can confidently tackle the inclines around Mount Royal or accelerate smoothly onto Autoroute 15 during weekend getaways. The VAQ Limited Slip Differential helps maintain traction when taking corners with enthusiasm, reducing understeer and keeping the front wheels planted.
Technology That Enhances Every Journey
The refreshed interior centres around a 12.9-inch freestanding touchscreen running Volkswagen's latest operating system. Navigation comes standard, making it easy to explore new neighborhoods or find the best route to summer festivals and events.
Wireless App-Connect supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so your phone connects automatically when you get in. The wireless charging pad keeps your device powered during longer trips without cables cluttering the cabin.
Key tech features include:
Comfort Features for Warm Weather Driving
Summer driving demands comfort, and the GTI delivers with standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel for those cooler morning drives. The single-zone electronic climate control keeps the cabin comfortable, while the power windows and auto-dimming rearview mirror add convenience.
The 60/40 split-folding rear seats provide cargo flexibility for summer gear, beach equipment, or luggage for weekend trips. With 564 litres of cargo space, you have room for everything from sports equipment to picnic supplies.
Enhanced Safety for Confident Summer Drives
The GTI includes Front Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking that monitors for pedestrians and cyclists – particularly important in Montreal's active summer street scene. Dynamic headlights with cornering lights improve visibility when navigating curved roads or parking in dimly lit areas.
Electronic Stability Control and Hill Hold Assist provide additional confidence, whether you're stopping at a traffic light on a slope or navigating wet roads after summer thunderstorms.
