Offers you an exhilarating “hot hatch” drive, with the added benefits of good fuel economy and low emissions for such a powerful engine.
How does it perform? Our highly responsive 200PS turbo-charged engine delivers outstanding performance with instant acceleration - whatever gear you're in - achieving 0-62mph in just 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph*. It also delivers good fuel economy and low emissions for such a powerful engine. How does it do this? The direct injection technology behind our new 200 PS 2.0-litre engine means it burns fuel in a supremely efficient manner. The addition of a turbocharger allows maximum torque to be available from just 1,800 rpm through to 5,000rpm. So you get great performance, safer overtaking and the ability to power up hills smoothly. *manual gearbox (where permitted).
When the very first Golf GTI appeared more than 30 years ago, it created an entirely new class of car: the hot hatch. Today's Golf GTI is still showing others the way. State-of-the-art technology The 200PS turbo-charged engine uses advanced fuel stratified injection technology, the same state-of-the-art direct fuel injection that has made our TDI diesel engines the talk of the industry. By injecting petrol directly into each cylinder, combustion efficiency is greatly improved. The result is strong performance with excellent fuel economy and low emissions, relative to the high power output of the engine, together with great driveability and no turbo lag.
