2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI Sport — A Modern Icon, Faithful to Its Roots

Few cars earn legendary status by doing everything well.
The 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI Sport is one of them. Finished in Carbon Steel Gray Metallic over the iconic Titan Black interior with classic Clark Plaid sport seats, this GTI represents the perfect blend of heritage, performance, and everyday livability. The plaid isn’t nostalgia—it’s identity. A design cue that has defined generations of GTI ownership and remains just as compelling today as it was decades ago.

Power comes from Volkswagen’s turbocharged 2.0L TSI engine, producing 220 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. An electro-mechanical limited-slip differential, sport-tuned suspension, and selectable driving modes give this GTI its trademark balance—sharp, composed, and deeply engaging without sacrificing comfort. Fuel efficiency remains impressive for a performance hatch, rated at 24 MPG city / 32 MPG highway.

The GTI nameplate has been consistently praised by Car and Driver, MotorTrend, and U.S. News & World Report, often ranking at the top of the hot hatch segment for steering feel, build quality, and real-world usability. The 2017 GTI Sport in particular is admired for offering core performance features without unnecessary excess—exactly how a GTI should be.

Inside, the cabin is unmistakably driver-focused. Supportive sport bucket seats, KESSY push-button start, rear air vents, manual climate control, and intuitive steering-wheel-mounted controls create an environment designed for people who enjoy driving. Technology is seamlessly integrated with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, App-Connect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming, USB connectivity, SiriusXM capability, and voice-activated controls.

Safety is equally well considered, with a rearview camera, bi-xenon adaptive headlights, automatic post-collision braking, ABS, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, and six airbags. The GTI Sport rides on 18-inch machined aluminum wheels and earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA, reinforcing its reputation as a smart performance choice.
