Volkswagen’s legendary hot hatch receives a mid-cycle update for 2025 including refreshed looks along with upgraded infotainment system and controls inside. Powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Golf GTI produces 241 hp (unlike the 261 hp for Europe) and 273 lb-ft of torque. Muscular performance combines with great handling for a fun driving experience. Alas, the GTI is no longer available with a manual transmission.
