Volkswagen Golf GTI Petrol Cars
The Volkswagen Golf GTI Petrol Turbo is a true icon of the automotive world, and the latest iteration more than lives up to that reputation. Built to deliver both performance and practicality, it's an ideal choice for anyone looking for a thrilling driving experience without sacrificing everyday usability.
At its heart is a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol engine, capable of delivering an impressive 245 horsepower. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, this powertrain provides plenty of oomph when you put your foot down - in fact, the Golf GTI can hit 62 mph from a standstill in just 6.4 seconds.
Of course, the Golf GTI isn't just about speed - it also offers exceptional handling capabilities. Thanks to features like adaptive dampers and progressive steering, this car delivers precise handling that's both engaging and confidence-inspiring. It's also surprisingly comfortable on longer journeys thanks to its refined suspension setup.
Inside the cabin, you'll find a high-quality finish and plenty of technology to keep you entertained on even the longest drives. A digital instrument cluster and infotainment system are standard, while options like a premium audio system and larger touchscreen display can be added if desired.
In terms of practicality, the Golf GTI ticks all the right boxes too. It comes with five doors as standard for easy access to the rear seats - which offer enough space for adults - plus a spacious boot that will easily accommodate all your luggage or shopping.
Perhaps most importantly for UK drivers, the Golf GTI has been designed with our unique roads in mind. Its well-tuned suspension copes admirably with potholes and bumps, while features like lane-keeping assist help keep you safe on busy motorways.
All in all, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Petrol Turbo is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-performance hatchback that's practical enough for everyday use.
