2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI Release Date



2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI Release Date and Specs

The VW Golf GTI is one of the definitive hot hatchbacks and it's equipped with an energetic powertrain, dynamic handling and a surprising level of practicality. The new 2025 model will unveil some new technology for Fairfield County CT buyers and operate exclusively with an automatic transmission. It will continue to come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that will operate with front-wheel drive. The fou- door body style provides an abundance of room for passengers and cargo so it gives you a lot for your money. Here's a look at what we know so far about the new 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI at Prestige Volkswagen of Stamford in Stamford, CT.

What's new for 2025?

Volkswagen has released glimpses of an updated 2025 GTI with a lot of new technology that includes a bigger touch screen, revised infotainment software and an enhanced voice assistant. It also includes new controls on the steering wheel that eliminate the touch-sensitive buttons that were problematic with the previous model. The new Golf GTI will also have restyled taillights, headlights and new wheel designs. Especially encouraging for Greenwich CT drivers is the fact that the turbocharged four-cylinder engine will give you more power than the previous model.

2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI Specifications

The 2025 VW Golf GTI will be equipped with the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the previous model but output will rise to an estimated 262 horsepower from the 241 horsepower found in the current model. The 2024 Golf GTI reaches 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and it's expected that the new version might be a little faster. The power will be managed by a quick-shifting seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission and there will no longer be a six-speed manual.

The experts at Car and Driver report that the automatic VW GTI is fun to drive with a high level of agility and responsive steering. Fuel economy in the 2024 Golf GTI was rated at 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway so it's expected that the 2025 model should be in the same neighborhood.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Exterior

The 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI has been given subtle modifications in its exterior design. The new body color flows around the lower air intakes and the slightly modified grille serves up a bolder front fascia. Taillights are now more square-shaped and the light-up VW badge adds an extra visual highlight. The Golf GTI for 2025 will offer four new exterior paint choices: Oyster Silver Metallic, Anemone Blue Metallic, Crystal Ice Blue Metallic and Grenadilla Black Metallic.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Interior

The entertainment touch screen and touch controls have been upgraded in the new 2025 Golf GTI with a more responsive design. In addition, the steering wheel comes with real buttons instead of touch-sensitive sliders. Norwalk and Fairfield CT buyers will appreciate the fact that the infotainment system has been given a significant upgrade as well. Front and rear seats are still as spacious as before and the boxy hatchback shape helps give you a remarkably generous amount of room in the cargo area.

The 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI will come with Volkswagen's upgraded MIB4 software system and a standard 10.0-inch touch screen display. You can upgrade to an available 12.9-inch infotainment screen that will give you a better look at on-screen information. What's more, Volkswagen has enhanced the Voice Assistant in a way that should help it recognize more commands.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Release Date

As of this writing, Volkswagen has only confirmed that the 2025 VW Golf GTI will appear some time later in 2024 and we'll be happy to give you updates. With new styling inside and out along with a higher level of horsepower, the new 2025 Golf GTI should be worth waiting for. In the meantime, we have 2024 models available for a test drive and we'll be happy to discuss both options with you at Prestige Volkswagen of Stamford in Stamford, CT.
