2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI in Kingston, NY

Performance and Features of the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI

The 2022 Golf GTI is energized by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine that generates 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The horsepower production has been increased by 13 horses, and the torque has been increased by 15 pound-feet for the 2022 model year. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, but a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox is available as an option. Irrespective of the trim or setup, all the Golf GTI models are fitted with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain.

One of the most distinguishing features of the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI is its seats. They're available in Clark Plaid, black, red, and grey, which is a nice change from the usual monotone options. In addition, the front seats are bucket-style and race-inspired Top Sport seats. The Clark Plaid's red accents are used throughout the cabin, including contrast stitching on the seat sides.

This hatchback's shape, along with its GTI badging and red accents, makes it instantly recognizable, but its true exterior design gems are its wheels and lights. LED lights in the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI outlast halogen bulbs that are standard in many other vehicles. The 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI wheels are available in a two-tone black and silver 18-inch, 10-spoke alloy design. The narrow spokes draw your attention to the center of the wheel, where the stylish Volkswagen VW symbol sits.
