Grey Volkswagen Golf GTI hot hatch

The Volkswagen Golf GTI specifications centre on a 1984 cc 2.0 TSI four cylinder, rated at 195 kW, or 265 PS, from 5250 to 6500 rpm. It makes 370 Nm from 1600 to 4500 rpm.

A seven speed DSG drives the front wheels, with Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual profiles. Volkswagen quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds but no top speed, and it has not published a fuel figure.

Its footprint is 4289 mm by 1789 mm, with a height of 1471 mm and a 2627 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is a low 136 mm, the boot holds 380 litres, or 1237 litres with the rear seats folded, and the tank takes 45 litres.

Disc brakes with red calipers sit at all four corners of the single GTI variant, and the 18 inch Richmond diamond-turned wheels wear 225/40 tyres. There is no spare wheel, as Volkswagen supplies a tyre mobility kit. Kerb weight is 1454 kg.

Volkswagen Golf GTI power and torque explained

The Golf GTI has a single powertrain: a 1984 cc 2.0 TSI turbo petrol rated at 265 PS and 370 Nm. A seven speed DSG with paddle shifters drives the front wheels, helped by an XDS electronic differential lock.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best.

Peak figures come from the 2.0L TSI Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The full 370 Nm is there from 1600 to 4500 rpm, and the 265 PS peak comes between 5250 and 6500 rpm. So the engine pulls hard from low revs in town, then keeps building power to 6500 rpm. Volkswagen quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. It also lists the GTI as sold out for now, so confirm stock before you check the Golf GTI road price.
