Volkswagen has bumped up the horsepower and "oomph" of the new GTI for those who love a bit more zip from their hatchback. Be aware that the manual transmission is going away, so if you want a stick shift, you may want to check out the remaining 2024 inventory!
The new 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI features a turbocharged two-liter engine that offers 262 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque under load. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission pulls available power when you need to accelerate or climb, and the mileage is excellent. In town, you can break 25 mpg. Some drivers are getting more than 35 mpg on the highway.
Standard front-wheel drive, settled by the weight of the engine, will contribute to the fun and nimble handling of this sporty little hatchback.
We're sorry, availability of some equipment, options or features may be limited due to global supply issues affecting the auto industry. Please be sure to verify that the vehicle you purchase includes all expected features and equipment.
You can expect to get from zero to 60 in just over five seconds in this responsive, zippy little car. As with all Volkswagen hatchbacks, one of the greatest features is the strong connection to the road. If you are downsizing from an SUV, you'll appreciate that this sporty little car does not ride like a sedan in terms of float or disconnection.
It's expected that all-wheel drive will be one of the features that will continue from the 2024 Golf trim levels. If you travel in snowy areas, this extra control will help you maintain your connection to the pavement, even if conditions get slick. VWs have a healthy reputation as far as handling ice and snow. The 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI continues this tradition.
Your new Golf is loaded with comfortable features to help you feel like the center of your driving universe. Real, clickable buttons are part of the steering wheel design instead of touch-responsive ones. Black and gray leather or faux leather make it comfortable to sit and easy to clean up should you have a spill. Red stitching and trim add a race car feel.
The interior also offers a lot of versatility. The hatchback design is broad; once that door is open, you will have access to almost the full width of the car for loading and unloading your new Golf GTI. There is nearly 20 cubic feet of space behind the back seats and 34.5 cubic feet with the back seats folded down. The 60/40 back seat folds flat, so you don't have to worry about crash damage if you need to move something bulky and heavy.
Your new Volkswagen Golf GTI includes a 12.9-inch display screen and VWs latest control software. You can also use a new voice assistant tool to program your maps and tunes. Easy access to rapid updates in your route planning will keep you safer on long road trips and may even make your morning commute to Horseshoe Bay, TX a much simpler process.
Honestly, it may be tough for the 2025 Golf GTI to top the features available on the 2024! These safety features include automatic emergency braking and protection for pedestrians and cyclists. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, and parking sensors will increase your safety in parking lots and on the highway. You'll also appreciate the parking assist and traffic sign recognition as you plan your trips and daily commutes.
