For exciting road adventures, the fun-driving 2023 VW Golf GTI is an excellent choice, as its impressive horsepower and responsive handling make even everyday commutes more fun. Along with a stylish, comfortable interior, this edition offers next-level entertainment and driver-assist features to spice up every drive, as well as the latest in safety monitoring systems. With such a long list of lovable features to cover, these five are some of our favorites.

1. A Turbocharged 241-HP Engine

The 2023 Golf GTI offers thrilling experiences on both city streets and highways, thanks to its 2.0-liter engine. This turbocharged four-cylinder combines 241 horsepower with 273 pound-feet of torque, which not only gives it outstanding performance but also excellent fuel efficiency, as it gets an estimated 28 mpg in combined city/highway mileage.

2. Infotainment With GPS Navigation

The Discover Pro system pairs with a 10-inch touchscreen and allows you to easily connect to smartphones and make hands-free calls, as well as chart your way to destinations with its GPS navigation option. It also offers available access to SiriusXM radio, so you and your family or friends can enhance road trips with hundreds of channels of both music and podcasts to listen to.

3. A Suite of Hi-Tech Safety Features

There’s also an Innovative suite of safety features called IQ.Drive, which uses Advanced radar technology in many of its included systems. Some features found in this suite include Lane Assist, which can keep you centered in your lane by gently nudging the steering wheel if you should start to unintentionally drift, as well as Active Blind Spot Monitor, a helpful system that uses side mirror indicators to notify you when vehicles are in your blind spots.

4. Road Sign Recognition Technology

If you’re ever driving and happen to miss a speed limit sign, the Dynamic Road Sign Display feature will certainly be appreciated. This system uses both a front-facing camera and GPS technology to determine what local speed limits are while you’re driving and displays these directly in front of you on the digital cluster, and you can also use it to set speed limit alerts that will warn you if you happen to go over a specific speed.

5. Luxury Seating With Plenty of Style

Comfortable seating with luxury amenities can also be found in this edition, like the heated and ventilated front seats and heated second-row outboard seats. If the unique Scale Paper plaid cloth doesn’t suit you, there’s also premium leather trim, and both the front-row seats offer 12-way power recline.


Sporty and ready for the open road, the 2023 Golf GTI delivers stunning performance and a wide range of tech, comfort, and convenience features that help distinguish it from other cars in its class.
