2015 Golf GTI

2015 Golf GTI
GTI
Golf
Always on the fast track. Few cars have
gripped drivers as instantly as the Golf
GTI. Considering it has both defined and
redefined the hot hatch for over 30 years,
it’s no wonder. Fast-forward to today,
and we’ve made this sporty Golf GTI
lower, wider, and faster than ever before.
Something you’ll get used to pretty quickly.
That’s the Power of German Engineering.
Less weight.
More go.
Performance. Usually, making a vehicle stronger means adding more weight. But with
the Golf GTI, we incorporated ultra-high-strength steel, which is both stronger and
lighter than conventional steel. So going, turning, and stopping are all improved. And
by adding new technologies that help improve handling performance, along with a
wider stance, it’s a stronger performer on the track too.
Sport suspension. This autobahn-tuned suspension separates
the Golf GTI from the rest of the pack. With tighter body control,
the Golf GTI can stay more level in corners and it improves grip,
while still managing to provide a smooth ride.
Driving Mode Selection. We all like having choices. With the
standard Driving Mode Selection and available DCC, you can
adjust the steering, engine response, and handling of your Golf
GTI just the way you like it. It’s nice to be in control.
XDS® Cross Differential System. Brakes are great for stopping.
And now, for turning. That’s why the Golf GTI features the XDS+
Cross Differential System in conjunction with the available VAQ
front limited-slip differential lock, which uses the brakes to help
transfer power to the outside wheel and to improve cornering.
Let’s cut to the chase.
Performance. There’s no denying it. The heart of any sports car is its
engine, which is why we decided to give this one an adrenaline
boost. With the most horsepower and torque of any Golf GTI ever
built for the U.S., and new performance-enhancing technologies, this
hot hatch has performance that’s sure to get your heart pumping too.

The most powerful engine to ever be found in a
Golf GTI is also lighter and more fuel efficient
than before.* Some might call it magic. We just
call it 30 years of turbocharging experience.

Performance Package. Some of us are harder to please. That’s
why we’re pleased to offer this available Performance Package,
which adds an additional 10 horsepower (total output of 220 hp),
a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, and high-performance
front and rear brakes with GTI embossed lettering.
Launch Control. Sometimes, we can all use a little help. And to
help you get going more quickly, the Golf GTI features the
available Launch Control system on DSG®- equipped models to
help put the power down, making the fun go up.**
Progressive steering. This variable-ratio steering system
provides quick response to driver input at higher speeds, while
making driving easier at lower speeds. Now the only variable
you have to think about is which route you want to take home.

Spend some quality time surrounded by quality.

Design and quality. Quality can be hard to find. But in a Golf GTI, quality is sitting right
in front of you. Under you. And all around you. From the available performance package
with red brake calipers, aggressive 18" wheels, and available LED Daytime Running
Lights, to the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, the Golf GTI puts you at the center
of it all. No wonder it was named one of Ward’s® 10 Best Interiors. So take a seat, and
take a step up in quality.
Your very own mobile
entertainment center.
Technology. We all like having the latest technologies. That’s why
we gave the Golf GTI available features like an all-new touchscreen
navigation system, so that hidden getaway you’re looking for no
longer has to be so hidden. And Volkswagen Car-Net® connected
car features* help you stay connected with your car even when
you’re apart from it. If you want concert-quality sound, just turn up
the dial on the available Fender® Premium Audio System. With all
of the new technologies available on the Golf GTI, the best seats in
the house can now be found sitting in your driveway.

We designed it to perform here.
Ditto.
Safety and Driver Assist. Life is unpredictable. That’s why the Golf GTI was built to
perform in more ways than one with features like our signature Intelligent Crash Response
System (ICRS) and advanced cage.* Along with the latest technologies like an Automatic
Post-Collision Braking System and an available Forward Collision Warning. As impressive
as these systems are, we hope it’s one performance you never have to see.
Dramatization.**
*The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. **This is a dramatization and does
not depict what will happen in a collision. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time. †Airbags are supplemental
restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. ††Feature available on select models.

Adaptive airbags. Our airbags are designed to adapt to crash

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Golf GTI is
sensitive, especially when it comes to its tires. To help stay efficient
and safe, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you to a loss of
tire pressure so you know when to put more air in.
Seven stability-enhancing systems. Almost every car has
stability control nowadays. But very few car companies go to the
length we do to help you maintain control. Control freaks, rejoice.
Forward Collision Warning. The available Forward Collision
Warning system† can help you detect what’s coming. If you
Park Distance Control (PDC). Even when you can’t see an object
you’re approaching while parking, the available PDC can, and it
alerts you with beeps so you can tell how close something is to
your car. Sometimes, we all just need a little space.
Driver Assist Features
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. Not every collision
brings a car to a stop. That’s why we made the Automatic PostCollision Braking System. It can help keep your car from moving
after a collision, reducing the chance of any additional impacts.

*Requires compatible device. **High-performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. The recommended all-season tire size specified for your car or its
equivalent should be used. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim, or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and
make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. †Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. ††The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy
or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. ‡Roadside Assistance provided by Allstate. ‡‡The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the vehicle’s scheduled maintenance for one year or 10,000 miles, whichever occurs first, only on 2015 models.
