New Infotainment Features
2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI models feature a new 12.3-inch Discover Pro touchscreen media system with MIB4 software to keep you relaxed around Allendale, while the 2024 Golf GTI lineup only came with a standard 8.0-inch or available 10.0-inch infotainment system with MIB3 software. In addition, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI reverts to physical buttons on the steering wheel to increase tactile feeling for drivers, while the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI featured haptic touch-sensitive buttons that could be activated accidentally while steering around Holland.
Powertrain Updates
Even though the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI was available with a 6-speed manual transmission that was great for driver engagement near Kentwood, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI only comes with a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI produces up to 262 horsepower, while the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI only has up to 241 horsepower.
Refreshing Design Changes
While the 2024 and 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI look nearly identical, the 2025 lineup receives new LED projector headlights, an illuminated VW logo, and front grille lightbar. In addition, 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI models offer new wheel designs that range up to 19 inches, and new Alpine Silver Metallic or Slade Blue Metallic exterior paint colors that shimmer in the sun near Wyoming, MI. 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI SE models also feature black ArtVelours seat covers borrowed from the European-exclusive Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport for a unique look.
