New Volkswagen Golf GTI Arrives in Singapore

The latest generation of the Volkswagen Golf GTI has landed in Singapore. 


This new GTI is 20hp more powerful than its predecessor, slicing through the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.9 seconds. 

Its heart is Volkswagen’s latest 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, packing 261hp and 370 Nm of torque. Peak torque kicks in as early as 1,600 rpm and stays strong all the way to 4,500 rpm, ensuring that power is always on tap when you need it.  

Paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, gear shifts are lightning-quick and seamless, while steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters let you take full control.

The new model boasts Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) and a precisely tuned sports suspension setup, designed to deliver razor-sharp handling without sacrificing ride comfort.

Looks matter, and the new Golf GTI makes sure you know it’s something special the moment you lay eyes on it.  

The front end has been completely redesigned, now featuring IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, which don’t just look sharp but also improve night-time visibility by 15% over the previous model.

Completing the aggressive front fascia is an illuminated Volkswagen badge, a signature honeycomb grille, and a revised lower air intake.

The new 19-inch Queenstown alloy wheels add to its commanding presence, designed as a modern homage to the legendary Detroit wheels from the fifth-gen GTI. 

Step inside, and the new Golf GTI’s cabin immediately feels sportier, more premium, and packed with innovation.  

The front sports seats, wrapped in Vienna leather with GTI red stitching, offer both comfort and support, while the black headliner, stainless steel pedal caps, and red accents remind you that you’re sitting in something built for driving enthusiasts.  

The Engine Start/Stop button pulses red until you fire up the turbocharged engine. Then there’s the tech; a fully digital 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage, offering a user interface with touch and voice control via the IDA voice assistant.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and the Harman Kardon sound system comes with 8+1 speakers and a subwoofer.

Safety is also a priority, with features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), an electromechanical brake booster, and Volkswagen’s Proactive Passenger Protection system, making sure you’re covered while you push the limits.  

The new Golf GTI is now available for order at Volkswagen Centre Singapore, with prices starting from SGD$269,900.

Customers will also enjoy three years of free servicing, a five-year vehicle warranty, and five years of free 24/7 roadside assistance in Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia.
