The turbocharged performance, sporty design, and precision handling make the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI the ultimate hot hatch. To experience the drive of your life, visit your local Volkswagen dealership today. Four Standout Features of the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1. 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. To discover for yourself why the 2025 VW Golf GTI is so special, book a test drive with us today at Gorman McCracken Volkswagen, in Longview, TX.

As your VW dealership, we offer a wide range of services to keep your vehicle working at its best. We want to give you some examples of a few of the many different VW service options we provide. 3 Types of VW Service Available at Your VW Dealership Oil Changes Oil lubricates numerous components, protecting them with a friction-resistant coating so they work effectively without damage. As the oil moves through the engine, it also cools the components. In addition, oil contains specialized additives that break down potentially damaging engine deposits, protect against rust, and help to keep your engine clean. Whether your VW uses synthetic or regular oil, the oil becomes less effective over time. It accumulates dirt and other impurities in the engine, causing it to thicken and slow down. Thicker oil can block the oil filter, preventing any lubrication and increasing wear and tear on the engine. We drain the old oil and replace it, and we also install a new oil filter. Transmission Servicing The transmission is one of the hardest-working systems in your VW. It takes the energy produced by the engine and focuses it through the gears so your vehicle can move at the required speed. It's a highly complex system, with countless parts that must work together flawlessly to deliver power to the wheels. A transmission service involves checking and testing the transmission to ensure it's working as efficiently as it's designed to. We drain and test the old transmission fluid, then install a new transmission filter and new fluid. Transmission components are inspected for wear and tear and replaced if necessary, and the transmission seals and gaskets are checked to ensure there are no leaks. The transmission is then resealed, and the casing is cleaned to prevent dirt or debris from entering it. Brake Servicing The brakes rely on pressure and force to work efficiently, and combined with the heat generated by braking, this will cause parts to wear over time. Worn brake components make driving dangerous, as they can slow braking responsiveness. In addition, some components, like the brake pads, wear thinner as they work due to friction and need regular replacement. Our technicians will carefully examine your braking system and test each component. They check the brake hoses and brake lines for leaks, as leaking brake fluid will cause brake failure. The brake master cylinder, calipers, and other components are tested to ensure they're working correctly. We'll also drain and replace the brake fluid, as older fluid can absorb water and overheat. Regular servicing prevents many costly future repairs, as our experienced technicians can replace worn or damaged parts before they fail and cause damage. Book your next service by contacting us at Gorman McCracken Volkswagen in Longview, TX.

Volkswagens have sturdy suspensions with struts, shock absorbers, springs, bushings, and control arms built to last. You'll keep your driving smooth and comfortable with the following suspension service at your local VW dealership. 6 Tips to Keep Your VW's Suspension in Top Shape Yearly Inspections Once a year, a Volkswagen specialist should examine your car's entire suspension with an expert eye. They'll look for sagging springs, leaking shocks, cracked control arms, worn bushings, and any other damage. They can thoroughly test each part and replace or repair anything that needs it. Prompt Replacements You should keep an eye out for signs of worn-out suspension components and quickly get necessary replacements. When there's a suspension problem, your rides may become bouncier, the car's nose could dive when you brake, the entire vehicle might lean toward one corner, and you could find your car veering to one side. Your wheels may also become misaligned. Wheel Alignments The suspension plays a large role in stabilizing and aligning the wheels and tires. The wheels of most cars gradually become pushed out of proper alignment by bumps over potholes and against curbs. This misalignment skews suspension components and accelerates wear and tear. It's therefore important to have your wheels aligned once or twice a year, which both protects the suspension and keeps your handling safe and precise. Tire Rotations Tires become unevenly worn due to differing weight at either end of the car and pressure from steering and braking. As the tires grow uneven in tread wear and size, the suspension becomes increasingly strained. Have your tires rotated every six months to prevent this. Air Pressure Checks Even improper tire inflation can cause premature wear in the suspension. Overinflated tires can no longer help the shocks to absorb roughness in the road, which puts more pressure on the suspension. If just one tire is under- or over-inflated, the resulting imbalance will also wear the suspension down. Always keep your tires properly inflated for the sake of your safety and suspension. Smooth Driving It will also help your suspension to avoid hard braking and sharp corners. If you adopt more gentle driving habits, your suspension will thank you with a longer lifespan. If possible, avoid rough road surfaces, potholes, and anything that jolts or puts excess pressure on the wheels. Need Suspension Service? Visit Our VW Dealership Allow our VW specialists to examine and fine-tune your shocks and struts to keep your daily drives vibration-free. We can also ensure that your tires are in excellent condition with routine rotations, alignments, and replacements, all of which protect your suspension. Come to Gorman McCracken Volkswagen in Longview, TX, today to book any preventative maintenance your car requires.

To lead a segment is one thing. But to invent one and still run it fifty years later takes something else entirely. Meet the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI, the latest take on the hot hatch that started it all in 1975. The blueprint is still familiar: front-wheel drive, a punchy engine, a useful cabin, and a cool look that doesn't need to shout. Exterior Style is one of the Golf GTI's strongest suits, and the 2025 update reaffirms that. The already sharp exterior picks up redesigned headlights, revised bumpers, a standard light bar across the grille, and an illuminated VW badge. The signature red grille strip continues, now running through the updated headlights. Puddle lights have been reworked too. What was once a polka-dot pattern now projects a stylized golf ball and GTI logo onto the pavement. Interior The updates didn't stop at the sheet metal. Inside, the new Golf GTI features a freestanding 12.9-inch display subtly angled toward the driver, backlit climate and volume sliders, a ventilated 15W wireless charging pad, and new Carbon Gray decor. Standard amenities remain generous: heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a seven-speaker audio system, and numerous driver aids, such as Active Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Park Distance Control, and Lane Assist. Move to the SE trim, and the cloth seats are replaced with ArtVelours, which are comfortable, grippy, and easy to clean. Also rolling with the S trim are a Harman Kardon premium sound system, a panoramic glass roof, keyless access, and automatic high beams. At the top, the Autobahn model adds a head-up display, three-zone Climatronic Touch climate control, leather seating, ventilated front seats, and heated seats in both rows. Power and Handling It can't be a hot hatch without some fire in the belly. The 2025 GTI brings just that with its turbocharged four-cylinder that outputs 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Below 3,000 RPM, this firecracker is quiet, smooth over most surfaces, and refined, but above that, it's like flipping an on switch. The sound sharpens, the pace quickens, and 0 to 60 disappears in under six seconds. The real fun, however, is in carving corners. Thanks to its light chassis, the GTI is eager to turn in, and the suspension and differential tuning let you play with rear rotations to help settle the car into bends. You don't get a stick, but the seven-speed DSG makes a strong case for itself with snappy shifts and quick response when you tap the paddles. Over five decades of hot hatch legacy come together in the 2025 Golf GTI. For a test drive, stop by Gorman McCracken Volkswagen in Longview, TX.

Not too long ago, the Golf R was basically a souped-up AWD GTI, and it did a fantastic job. Adding the torque-vectoring rear differential made it even better. Now, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R brings more horsepower and a fresh new look, inside and out. How Much More Power Are We Talking About? The 2.0-liter turbo four in the last Golf R made 315 horsepower. For 2025, Volkswagen tweaked the ECU and pulled out a bit more from the same engine. Output now lands at 328 horsepower and 295 lb-ft, with that torque spread more generously across the rev range. Power still goes to all four corners through a Haldex-style AWD, with up to half pushed to the rear axle. From there, the torque-vectoring diff can shuffle 100% of that rear-end shove to either wheel if needed. Although the six-speed manual is gone, VW's venerable seven-speed dual-clutch automatic takes its place, so you won't be missing out too much. What's Changed on the Outside? The Golf R was already easy on the eye, so VW only had to make a few tweaks. The front bumper has been cleaned, the front logo now lights up, and the headlights have motorized adjustments to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. VW says the new forged wheels shave a few pounds off each corner. Any Changes on the Inside? The biggest change you'll notice inside is the new 12.9-inch infotainment screen. It runs the latest software borrowed from VW electric vehicles, so it's quicker and easier to navigate. Also, the wireless charging now has a fan to keep your phone cool. Beyond that, everything you know and love about the Golf R is here, including heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a sunroof, and a trunk space that's on par with a midsize sedan. All told, it's still the do-it-all daily that can light up a backroad. What's the Black Edition? The Golf R used to come in just one fully loaded version, but now there's a new trim: the Black Edition. It ditches the usual "R" accents for blacked-out details all over, from the grille and headlights to the brake calipers and exhaust tips. It also gets real carbon fiber inside. Choosing the Euro Style Package lets you cut about 80 pounds off your Black Edition (and adds a healthy dose of style while you're at it). It does this by swapping in lighter sport seats with ArtVelours covers, dropping the sunroof, and upgrading to an Akrapovic titanium exhaust. The 2025 Golf R is still as hot as hatch. To test drive it, stop by Gorman McCracken Volkswagen in Longview, TX.

The battery in your car can last quite a long time if you take good care of it. But when it does go, it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. A battery service at your VW dealership can help you stay on top of the lifespan of your battery, as well as keep it in good shape. This allows you to get the longest possible life out of it and always have an idea of how much longer you have before it goes. 1. Warning Lights There's a light on your dashboard that shaped like a battery, and this is obviously a big sign that there's an issue. If that lights up, there could be a problem with the alternator or the battery could be getting close to the end of its life. However, it could be something else, so always take it to your dealership to find out. If the check engine light comes on, this can also sometimes indicate a battery problem, so be sure not to ignore any warning lights. 2. Physical Changes Take a look at the battery once in a while. If it's starting to change shape, swell, or you see any visible leaking, it's very important to get it checked out right away. If it's just a bit of minor corrosion, you can try cleaning it off, and if it doesn't come back, there's nothing to worry about. If it comes back quickly, that's a bad sign. 3. Startup Issues Obviously, the primary role of your battery is to get the engine started. If you're having any trouble with this, such as delays in the engine firing up or some cranking before that happens, that could indicate your battery is near the end of its life. The same is true if you're experiencing any unexpected stalls at lights or stop signs. 4. Headlight Dimming Your headlights will often be the first indicator that something is a bit off with your battery. They will stop operating at full brightness and appear weaker or even start to flicker if the battery is beginning to die. This will be most noticeable when you first start the car and turn the lights on, or as you're tooling around local streets at slow speeds. Once you get up onto the highway and at speed, this may go away, but headlights are an early warning sign you should pay attention to. No one wants to find themselves unable to start their car in a strange place on a dark, rainy night or when there's an emergency, so visit us at Gorman McCracken Volkswagen in Longview, TX as soon as possible if your battery needs some TLC.

The outstanding build quality of VWs means that they're designed to keep on running long after other cars may have given up. However, to take advantage of VW's reputation for longevity, it's essential to look after your car well. Scheduling an annual performance service with your local VW dealership is a great way to ensure routine maintenance tasks are carried out and to check for any other repairs. 1: Check Fluids Regularly Checking your VW's fluids is a basic yet essential task you can easily carry out at home. Dirty or insufficient fluids can quickly cause problems with the engine or even permanent damage. When you check the fluids, look at the condition and the color. If any seem gritty, dirty, or unusually dark-colored, it's time for a full replacement. The main fluids to check include: Coolant Windshield wash Engine oil Brake fluid Power steering fluid 2: Protect the Battery If your battery is flat, you won't be driving anywhere, which means it's important to protect it as much as you can. Try to avoid solely using your car for short trips, as this can drain the battery quickly due to the constant stopping and starting. Taking a longer drive can help to replenish some of the charge lost. Parking in the shade or in a garage will also preserve your battery by protecting it from extreme weather, either hot or cold. 3: Treat Your VW With Care How you drive your VW can have a big influence on its condition. Harsh braking or aggressive acceleration from a cold engine can take its toll over time. Adopting good driving habits can protect your engine and keep your VW in good running order. 4: Schedule a Performance Service VW advises that you get your car serviced at least once a year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes sooner. Your local dealership can carry out the service, and will include checks on a variety of things such as brakes, filters, fluids, tires, lights, and battery. Being proactive by arranging a service will help your VW stay in great condition for the maximum possible time. Get More Advice From Your Local VW Dealership In addition to the annual service, your VW may need extra maintenance work, especially as the mileage starts to creep up. Your dealership will be able to advise on when you need to schedule routine maintenance and what checks will be required in the future. They can also help with non-routine problems, such as if your car starts making an unusual noise. With assistance from your local dealership, your car could continue to run beautifully for many years. Our factory-trained, certified mechanics have been providing their services to VW drivers for decades. We only use authentic Volkswagen parts and have state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to get you back on the road swiftly.
