Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today introduced an updated Golf GTI, equipped with Harman Kardon audio system and Head-up Display feature. With these enhancements, the Golf GTI will now retail at RM252,990.
The premium Harman Kardon 480-watt audio system enhances the interior ambience of the GTI, with 10 speakers pushing out an immersive surround sound experience and delivering impressive acoustics. On top of the premium audio system, buyers will also get a new head-up display as standard.
The Golf GTI is an icon that needs no introduction. A hot hatch that delivers powerful performance and elevates daily driving experiences, it is powered by a 2.0TSI turbocharged engine coupled with 7-speed wet clutch DSG to produce 245PS and 370Nm of torque.
It is immediately recognisable with a signature honeycomb front grille and red GTI trims. Completing the look are other features such as sporty 18” Richmond alloy wheels with red brake callipers, and full LED headlamps and taillights.
Completing its status as a complete hot hatch is the IQ. Drive system, an innovative Driver Assistance System (DAS) to assist drivers in making their journeys safer and more comfortable. IQ. Drive consists of Travel Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which uses radar and various sensors to detect vehicles ahead, as well as Side Assist which acts as an active blind spot monitor, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert which warns drivers of potential danger when the reverse gear is engaged.
Front Assist, an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature, uses a radar sensor integrated into the front of the GTI to continuously monitor the distance to the vehicles ahead. It also detects pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road.
The Lane Assist function ensures that the driver stays in lane, using its camera-based lane-keeping assistant. If the vehicle deviates towards another lane when direction indicators are operated by the driver, the system automatically intervenes by steering back into line.
In addition, the Adaptive Lane Guidance function keeps the car within its own lane on an ideal line learned from the driver’s driving characteristics.
The Golf GTI is supported with 5 years free maintenance, 5 years unlimited mileage warranty and 5 years roadside assistance.
VPCM is also kicking off its first Volkswagen Tour for the year on the island of Penang. The Tour will happen between the 4th to 7th of January 2024, at Queensbay Mall. On display during the Tour will be the updated Golf GTI, the Arteon R-Line, the Golf R and Tiguan Allspace R-Line.
Test drives are also available at the Tour during this period. Bookings and test drive arrangements can be made at all authorised Volkswagen dealerships nationwide.
