Personalise your drive with adjustable steering, engine power and transmission, and choose between Sport, Comfort, Eco or Individual driving profiles.
Rolling in style

Turn heads and create alloy envy with 19-inch wheels in the new Queenstown design. Featuring a five oval design, a nod to the classic Detroit style, the new wheel puts its own stamp on the Golf GTI with black inner surfaces behind a polished exterior.
Dynamic driving

Experience performance in perfect coordination. The driving dynamics manager syncs and optimises the front axle differential lock, dynamic braking interventions (electronic differential lock XDL) and lateral dynamics components of the controlled dampers for the improved GTI chassis. You choose the driving setup that works for you, including the infinitely adjustable DCC chassis, while the spread of dynamics and comfort is in your control by the electromechanic chassis systems.
Bold exterior styling

Area View
Add some extra eyes
Manoeuvre through the busy city centre or rough terrain with even more visibility. Area View offers four cameras discreetly positioned to the front, rear and sides of the Golf that capture the entire area around the vehicle – so it’s easier to avoid kerbs, spot line markings or even see around the corner.
Driver with confidence
Safety assistance
Emergency Assist
If you are no longer able to control the vehicle while driving due to an impairment or emergency, the Emergency Assist activates. If you don’t respond, it brings your vehicle to a stop in order to avoid potential accidents or to reduce their severity.
Front Assist
The Front Assist emergency braking system detects pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles, giving you a warning in the case of a potential accident or applying the emergency brakes to prevent an impact.
Lane Assist
Lane Assist detects whether your vehicle is unintentionally leaving the lane, and directs you back to the road with automatic steering corrections. If you do cross the lane markings, the system warns you with a vibration in the steering wheel.
Travel Assist
Travel Assist helps you to stay in your lane while maintaining a maximum speed and distance to the vehicle in front.
Adaptive Cruise Control
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can help you to maintain the previously set maximum speed and distance to the vehicle in front.
Side Assist
Side Assist recognises dangerous situations when changing lanes, warning you with a light on the exterior mirror that shows a vehicle is in your blind spot or approaching quickly from behind.

Overview of park assist systems for the Golf
Park Assit Plus
The optional Park Assist Plus system can tell you not only whether a parking space is big enough as you drive by – it also parks for you. Up to a speed of 40 km/h, it will search for suitable parallel parking spaces – parking bays up to a speed of 20 km/h. Once you have decided on one of the parking spaces found, you can start the parking process. Park Assist Plus takes care of everything for you: steering, accelerator and brakes. All you have to do is monitor the parking process. Park Assist Plus can also drive out of parallel parking spaces again.
