There is no denying that the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI is one of the best hatchbacks on the market. Its aerodynamic design and impressive powertrain make it one of the sportiest cars you’ll see on the streets of Waipahu. We look at what makes the Golf GTI such a thrill to drive.

Basics About the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI

The eighth-generation Golf GTI is so much more than just a family-friendly runaround. By focusing on aerodynamic efficiency, VW has created a modern-day hatchback that delivers speed and athletic performance, making it a thrilling drive. Special design features, such as refined wheel arches, a bespoke roof spoiler, extensive underbody paneling, and aero-optimized mirrors, help improve airflow and give the GTI a drag coefficient of just 0.31.

Sporty Exterior

These aerodynamic upgrades also contribute to the GTI’s sporty appearance, especially when combined with the distinctive VW grille with integrated fog lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated power-folding side mirrors, and low-speed cornering lights. Volkswagen has also equipped the exterior with LED headlamps with a coming and leaving home feature and puddle lights built into the side mirrors, both helping improve safety.

Driver-Focused Interior

Even getting in the Golf GTI is a thrill, thanks to the driver-orientated interior. The driver’s heated sport seat provides excellent support and is strategically positioned with the pedals, golf-ball shifter, and controls for optimum comfort. A leather-wrapped multi-functional sport steering wheel is heated and features shifting paddles and touch controls for an enhanced driving experience.

Unique Features

Sporty Powertrain

Volkswagen has fitted the 2024 Golf GTI with an impressive 241 horsepower 2.0-liter TSI 16-valve turbo four-cylinder engine capable of propelling this hatchback from 0 to 60 in a thrilling six seconds. It’s also efficient on fuel, delivering an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg when cruising on the highway.

Interior Tech

Several standard tech features add to the driving experience. Set the perfect cabin temperature with the Climatronic Touch automatic climate control system and use the 30-color ambient lighting to set the mood. Drivers receive important information via the fully-configurable 10.25-inch digital instrument panel and an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen will keep everyone entertained when on the road.

Advanced Safety Features

The thrill of driving a GTI is enhanced by its advanced driver-assist features. In addition to the electronic stability control and anti-lock braking system, standard safety features include adaptive cruise control, travel assist, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision alert.
