Highlights
-
Dual Exhaust Tips
They're a complement to the rear of your VW GTI. Or, maybe they're 2 complements.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Honeycomb Grille
The honeycomb pattern in the grille and bumper allows air to flow through more quickly in your VW GTI. This helps to keep the intercooler and front brakes nice and cool, which equals to even better performance.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Integrated Logo
To the untrained eye, it may seem like there is no trunk latch on the GTI at all. But, it's actually part of the shiny VW logo right in the middle of the hatch. It's fun to let friends figure that one out on their own.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Power Glass Sunroof
With more components like pinch protection, tilt function capabilities and a manual sunshade feature, the GTI power glass sunroof offers much more than a simple style upgrade. And should a surprise shower appear just as you've stepped out of the car, a simple turn of the key in the door can close it from the outside. More more. It's what the people want.
Optional In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Power Windows
Every VW is equipped with power windows. It's not because we think you're lazy, it's because we think you deserve it. And they all have pinch protection, which helps reduce the risk of injury to a set of unsuspecting fingers when the windows are closing.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Red Brake Calipers
The brake calipers are painted with heat-resistant, bright red paint. They look good and they work even better.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Alloy Pedals
The aluminum pedals in your VW GTI were designed based on racecar technology. They've also got rubber grips to help keep you in complete control whether you're launching or cornering.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Interlagos or Leather Sport Seats
For the true enthusiast, the interior of the VW GTI has the VW-specific Interlagos plaid pattern. Just like the original hot hatch. If leather is more your style, these extra-bolstered sport seats are also optional in Titan Black leather.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
MDI with iPod® Cable
MDI with iPod® cable lets you plug your iPod® into the touchscreen Premium VIII radio or RNS-510 Navigation and seamlessly navigate playlists, albums, song titles and more. In other words, this may be the coolest iPod® accessory you ever buy.

-
Touchscreen Premium VIII Stereo
A sleek touchscreen sound system with eight speakers, six-CD changer, MP3 connectivity, SD-Memory Card reader, and an AUX-input for portable audio players. Also included are 6 introductory months of SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. Music to your ears.

-
RNS-510 Navigation
The RNS-510 Navigation System is a multimedia hub designed for more than just guiding your way. This powerful system has an integrated 30GB hard drive ready to play any audio CDs or DVD movies. Or, link your MP3 player with the built-in MEDIA-IN USB port.
Optional In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Trip Computer
The Multi-Function Indicator is a trip computer that not only tells you things like outside temperature, engine temperature and how far you've traveled, it will even let you know how much farther you can travel based on the amount of fuel in the tank. Perfect for people who mix up their "E" and "F".
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
6-speed Manual Transmission
Six on the floor. It doesn't rhyme, it performs.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Award Winning 2.0 TSI Engine
This award winning 2.0 TSI four-cylinder engine pumps out 207 lbs-ft of torque, the highest torque per cylinder in its class.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
DSG® Transmission
When you tap one of the steering wheel-mounted paddles, the DSG® transmission will shift engine power back and forth between two mechanically actuated clutches and row through its sequential gear set, providing seamless acceleration and imperceptibly fast gear changes.
Optional In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Launch Control
The fastest and most precise way of getting your V-dub from 0 to 60. Simply put your DSG® transmission in sport mode, press the ESP off button, keep your left foot on the brake, and then press the gas pedal to the floor. Take your foot off the brake. Blast off.
Optional In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Sport Suspension
The VW GTI comes standard with track tuned sport suspension. Making it sit lower and corner tighter.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
XDS Differential
When the GTI is turning and under heavy acceleration, the XDS differential can detect inside wheel spin and actively direct the power to the outside wheel. In other words, you get better handling, better acceleration, and better fun.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Anti-intrusion Door Beams
VW uses steel reinforcements in the doors which are designed to absorb and redirect impact energy upon a side impact - basically creating a steel cage to protect passengers. Sounds good on paper. Even better on impact.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS stands for the Anti-lock Brake System. It's an electronically regulated hydraulic braking system which helps prevent the vehicle from sliding under hard braking by preventing wheel lock-up. ABS, some say it means "Always Brake Safely."
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
Anti-Slip Regulation helps prevent wheel slippage at all speeds and denies engine power in situations when wheel slip is detected. So, balance and equal traction are never compromised.*
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
*Obey all speed and traffic laws.
-
Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)
In conjunction with the ABS, ASR and EDL systems, plus additional sensors, the Electronic Stabilization Program helps the driver maintain their intended course during evasive maneuvering, like avoiding an accident, by applying brake pressure to specific wheels.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
-
Height Adjustable Telescopic Steering wheel
If it's easier for you to reach everything, it's easier for you to drive more safely. This feature gives you a custom fit, while allowing the airbag* to be placed in the best possible position for you. Literally, and figuratively. Also, the steering column is designed to collapse like a telescope to help reduce impact on impact.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
-
Six airbags
With 6 standard airbags* in the 2-door and 8 available in the 4-door, all occupants receive optimum protection, regardless of seating position or direction of the impact.
Standard In: 2-door and 4-door
*2009 VW Jetta shown. Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in an accident. All bags will not inflate in real world accidents and if multiple bags do deploy they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time.
