The New Golf GTi – Faster, Sharper, Cleaner
The Golf GTI is back. Almost 36 years to the day since a small band of engineers started work on the first prototype GTI, the very latest evolution and sixth generation of the original hot hatch has arrived.
The elements identified by the engineers back in March 1973 that defined the original GTI remain; sharp dynamics, a responsive four-cylinder engine and driver involvement – these are all at the core of the new GTI. Yet it has evolved – the Mk VI Golf GTI is faster, sharper and more powerful than any standard GTI before it. However, the day-to-day usability of the GTI has not been forgotten and it is cleaner, safer and more efficient than ever before.
The new GTi is a true performance car, powering from 0 to 62mph in just 6.9 seconds and reaching 149mph. But its talents don’t end there. Advanced new systems maximise traction and improve responses. An advanced new 2.0-litre TSI engine, linked to either a six-speed manual or DSG gearbox, is at the heart of the new GTI. Although sharing the same 1,984 cc displacement as the 2.0-litre T-FSI engine it replaces, the new TSI unit features substantial changes including modified pistons and piston rings, an improved oil pump, new induction system and a high-pressure fuel pump.
The result is an output of 210 PS delivered between 5,300 and 6,200 rpm (a 10 PS rise over the Mk V), which allows the vehicle to accelerate from standstill to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, while emissions fall from 189 g/km to 170 g/km (DSG: 173 g/km) and economy rises from a combined 35.3 mpg to 38.7 mpg (DSG: 38.2 mpg).
The prominent rear spoiler signals the sporty potential of the new GTi and the stylish body coloured rear bumper adds a sporty touch to the new GTi.
When you look inside the new Golf GTi, the interior has been completely redesigned to offer a truly luxurious, yet sporty driving environment. The interior features touches of stylish details such as red stitching.
We look forward to introducing you to the new Mk6 Golf GTi.
