The Iconic Hot Hatch: 2024 Golf GTI

The lively, athletic, and competent 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI delivers a joyful ride that can only be found in a hot hatchback. This iconic hatchback has been around for decades, and still beats the competition thanks to its agile handling, optional manual transmission, and European styling.

There’s still a lot to like in the sporty, yet practical VW Golf GTI, and you can experience the whole package at Bob Boast Volkswagen near Longboat Key and Palmetto, FL, where our friendly sales team can arrange a test drive and value your trade.

Last Chance for a Manual Transmission

The Golf GTI, lovingly referred to as a GTI, comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower. Drivers can choose a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. If you love driving a manual stick shift, this is the last year that VW will offer the GTI with it. In 2025, the Volkswagen performance features will only include the dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

The GTI delivers an exhilarating ride quality thanks to its balanced steering and suspension. All models come standard with front-wheel drive, and adaptive suspension is available for even more agility along with the impressive Volkswagen performance features. The compact sports car with an automatic transmission gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 24/33 MPG, while the models with the six-speed manual get an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 23/34 MPG.

Loaded with Tech Features for Safety and Entertainment

Volkswagen interior features rival the performance technology. The GTI comes standard with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a seven-speaker audio system. The entry-level GTI S also comes with ambient LED lighting, wireless device charging, four USB ports, and a push-button start.

The mid-level GTI SE adds a 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless connectivity, navigation, voice recognition, a Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and a nine-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The top GTI Autobahn trim adds a heads-up display and several more safety features. All three trims are available with an automatic or manual transmission.
