For 2025, the Volkswagen Golf GTI continues its eighth generation, offering drivers a hot hat with some excellent improvements. The FWD vehicle propels with a TSI 2.0 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine pushing out a marvellous 241 horsepower. Partnering with either a standard 6-speed manual or optional 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, each drive is a thrill. The GTI comes in two trims: S and Autobahn. Both trims feature extensive safety features with Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist), and Blind Spot Monitor as standard. The interior sees an upgrade with a 10.25" Digital Cockpit Pro and an 8.25" Discover Pro touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for enhanced functionality. The Autobahn trim features a larger 10" Discover Pro touchscreen and adds advanced adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The 2025 model of the Golf GTI offers an excellent blend of performance and practicality, alongside plenty of safety and convenience features.
