The VW Golf GTI is the definition of a sporty hatchback, marrying compact size with comfort and performance to produce a vehicle that's fun, exciting, and affordable. The all-new 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI is waiting for your test drive at our Kanata dealership, and here are the key highlights you can expect to enjoy.
New High-Performance Powertrain
The 2022 Golf GTI is an all-new model and comes with a more powerful engine than its predecessors. Every model in the lineup is motivated by a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo mill making a hefty 241 horsepower and 273lb-ft of torque. Both of these figures offer a substantial increase over previous model years, making the Golf GTI quicker and more responsive than ever before. Front-wheel drive is standard, and there's a choice between a six-speed manual transmission for an old-school feel or a slick seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The new Golf powertrain delivers some impressive performance figures, with a 0-100kmh time of just 5.1 seconds, backed up by responsive braking from 110kmh to a dead halt in just 46 metres.
Fuel Economy
But thanks to its compact proportions, the Golf GTI delivers all this power and performance with a pleasingly frugal fuel economy. Official EPA figures put the city economy at 9.8L / 100km, while the highway rating is even more impressive at 6.9L / 100km.
Interior and Infotainment
Climb into the GTI's cabin and you'll immediately see how much advanced technology is included with the new design. A 10.3" digital gauge cluster nestles behind the steering wheel, while a 10.0" touchscreen sits alongside to handle infotainment functions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard to expand the system's capabilities with smartphone apps, while dual charging points keep your devices juiced up on long journeys. And lastly, touch-sensitive buttons and knobs mounted on the steering wheel allow an extra level of control for the infotainment system's major functions.
Active Driver Assist Technology
The 2022 Volkswagen is equipped with a rich set of active safety and assist systems as standard, with highlights including automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warnings, and lane keep assist. Higher trims also add adaptive cruise control to make highway driving smooth, safe, and hassle-free.
