Five Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI

Superior Engine Performance and Handling

Under the hood, the 2025 model of the Volkswagen Golf GTI runs on a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four capable of 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. While the previous model also had a manual option for transmission, the 2025 edition is strictly a seven-speed DSG automatic. With its playful handling and braking that’s responsive but not jerky, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is a pure pleasure to drive.

Sporty Exterior Styling

The 2025 Golf GTI’s exterior has been refreshed with some eye-catching updates. Let’s start with the front, where the bumper and headlights have been redesigned, with an illuminated logo and a lightbar standard. Volkswagen has added two exciting new body coat options: Alpine Silver Metallic and Slate Blue Metallic.

All 2025 models also include 18-inch aluminum-alloy machined wheels and all-season tires. In the back, the GTI features dual chrome sport exhaust, so you can hear and feel the model’s awesome performance power. 

Luxurious Interior 

The interior has also been overhauled from the previous edition. The Golf GTI’s five seats are draped in a muted, elegant Carbon Grey upholstery. Every Golf GTI is equipped with a freestanding 12.9-inch touchscreen that runs on Volkswagen’s new-and-improved proprietary operating system.

High-Tech Driving Assistance and Safety Features

Built with advanced artificial intelligence, Volkswagen IQ.Drive is like a second set of eyes helping to keep you safe on the road. The system continuously monitors ahead for potential hazards, including pedestrians and cyclists, and automatically engages the brakes to prevent collisions. It also features tools that help you park and detect drivers in your blind spot when changing lanes.

MyVW Smartphone App Compatible

The new Golf GTI is compatible with Volkswagen’s myVW smartphone app, enabling you to control your Golf remotely. You can lock and unlock the doors remotely, track the car’s location, and check its health. You can even get an evaluation of your driving behavior from inside the app using DriveView.

With a refurbished exterior, upgraded interior and new technology, the updated Golf GTI packs a lot into a small package. If you’re ready to try one out for yourself, stop by Tom Bush Volkswagen to talk to our sales team, who will show you Jacksonville’s easiest car-buying experience.
