The Volkswagen Golf GTI in Philadelphia is among a small and select group. For more than 40 years, it has been manufactured whilst always retaining its devotion to the original concept and philosophy. A four-door hatchback, this family car has continued to provide its owners with a jaunty ride, garnering an almost fanatical base of supporters.
Behind the Speed
The base 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI is fed its power by a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, 241-hp four-cylinder mated with a six-speed manual transmission. All trims have front-wheel drive as standard. An improved suspension and electronically controlled limited-slip differential. The result is sharp handling and a balanced and comfortable ride
Inside the Golf GTI
The interior of the Golf GTI combines glimpses of the past with more modern designs. There are the “iconic plaid inserts” together with a steering wheel wrapped with leather. Quality is one byword for the interior. Another is technologically sound.
When it comes to the infotainment system, the base model has as standard the following:
- 10.3-inch digital instrument panel
- 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Four USB-C ports with two in the front and two in the rear
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Nor has Volkswagen forgotten safety. Now, as standard, the Golf GTI comes with IQ.Drive driver assistance technologies. Standard on the Jetta GTI are adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. All this technology is intended as an aid for drivers of the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI during their routine drive or when they leave the boundaries of a big city such as Philadelphia for an open road adventure.
