The VW Golf GTI is the original hot hatch, and the latest version that is now available in San Antonio Texas introduces the next generation of this beloved vehicle. The new platform is not only more powerful but introduces a wide range of additional standard and optional features. If you’re interested in the Golf GTI, there are three core trim levels offered—S, SE and Autobahn—and in the sections to follow, we’ll showcase their highlights and explore some of the options available for each.
The VW Golf GTI may be a small car but it’s got big attitude, and drivers in San Antonio Texas are sure to make their mark driving a vehicle that is as fast as it is charming. This is five-door vehicle with a wheelbase that measures 103.6 inches. The ground clearance is 4.7 inches, and the total length is 168.8 inches, which is just a tad more than 16 feet.
An excellent reason to test-drive the Volkswagen Golf GTI in San Antonio is to experience the cabin in person. Volkswagen engineers have done a lot with the space available. Front headroom is 38.5 inches. Front legroom is 41.2 inches, and rear legroom is 35.0 inches. The dedicated cargo space is an impressive 19.9 cubic feet, and you can stretch that to up to 34.5 cubes when the rear seat is unneeded.
A great allure of the hot hatch formula and the VW Golf GTI in particular is that it delivers performance that you simply can’t get anywhere else at this price point. This is a front-wheel-drive vehicle. The new gen is a 13-hp improvement over the previous one, and zero to 60 mph takes about 5 seconds.
One of the goals with the new platform was to bring the Golf GTI up to speed on the tech front. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this is that most of the new features are included with the base model.
