Turbocharged Power The excitement starts under the hood, with a throaty 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission comes as standard, providing lightning-fast shifts that deliver the all-important responsiveness VW GTIs are renowned for. Four different driving modes allow you to set your preference, giving you the capability for any road you're on. 2. Sports Suspension A sports suspension comes as standard on all trims of the VW GTI, with precision engineering striking the perfect balance between agility and comfort. This makes the VW GTI fun to handle on all types of roads, while simultaneously reducing body roll and keeping the car stable through corners. For even greater control over the setup, the available Dynamic Chassis Control allows the stiffness of the chassis to be adjusted. This enables drivers to switch between a softer suspension for everyday driving and stiffer for a driving experience that makes the most of the GTI's capability. 3. VAQ Limited Front Slip Differential Lock The name may be a bit of a mouthful, but the VAQ Limited Front Slip Differential Lock is a piece of clever technology that enhances the VW GTI's ability to deliver an exceptional performance. The system uses a multi-plate clutch and hydraulic pump to transfer power between the front wheels, with an electronic control module that monitors slip. By moving power to the wheel with the greatest grip, slippage is reduced. This provides greater stability, improves traction, and reduces understeer, especially when cornering at speed. All of this means the VW GTI can use its power more effectively, giving drivers the freedom to explore every twist and turn of the road. 4. Progressive Steering Progressive steering enhances the driving experience through the use of innovative technology. With specially shaped steering racks, the system uses a variable steering ratio, making changes depending on requirements. At low speeds, more power assist is delivered, making wheel movements effortless in maneuvers such as parking. This makes it easier to control the car with precision, even in tight spaces. The power assistance reduces at higher speeds, giving the driver a more direct connection with the road. This alters when the wheel is turned sharply, such as while cornering, allowing the wheel to turn at a greater angle. This enhances control and stability when cornering at high speeds, giving the driver unparalleled control and precision.
