The Volkswagen Golf GTI has received a major upgrade, now offering a head-up display and Harman Kardon audio system. Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) recently unveiled the updated Golf GTI, which will now retail at RM252,990. The head-up display projects important information onto the windscreen, allowing the driver to keep their eyes on the road while staying informed. The hatchback is equipped with a 2.0TSI turbocharged engine, along with a 7-speed wet clutch DSG, generating 245PS and 370Nm of torque.
In addition to the head-up display, the new Golf GTI boasts sporty 18 Richmond alloy wheels with red brake calipers, full LED headlights and taillights, and the IQ. Drive system. The IQ. Drive system incorporates various driver assistance features to enhance safety and comfort. Travel Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) rely on radar and sensors to detect vehicles ahead, while Side Assist acts as an active blind spot monitor. Rear Cross Traffic Alert warns drivers of potential dangers during reverse gear engagement.
Front Assist, an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature, uses radar sensors to monitor the distance to vehicles ahead and can also detect pedestrians and cyclists. Lane Assist ensures that the vehicle stays within its lane, automatically intervening if the driver deviates towards another lane without indicating. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Lane Guidance feature keeps the car on an ideal line based on the driver’s driving characteristics.
The new Volkswagen Golf GTI comes with a comprehensive support package, including 5 years of free maintenance, an unlimited mileage warranty, and roadside assistance. To showcase the updated Golf GTI, as well as other Volkswagen models, the brand is launching its first Volkswagen Tour of the year in Penang. From January 4th to January 7th, 2024, visitors can explore the range of vehicles displayed at Queensbay Mall and even take them for a test drive.
With the introduction of the head-up display and other advanced features, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is set to impress car enthusiasts who value both performance and safety. The combination of sleek design, powerful engine, and cutting-edge technology solidifies the Golf GTI’s position as a top contender in the hot hatch segment. Whether drivers are navigating through city streets or hitting the open road, the Golf GTI provides an exhilarating and connected driving experience.
