Why it stands out

The 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI stands out because it keeps the formula that made the GTI name famous while adding a much more modern cabin and stronger performance. It uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine rated at 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it pairs that with either a seven-speed dual-clutch automated transmission or, at launch, a six-speed manual. The car also brings a standard behind-the-wheel digital display, a standard eight-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a cleaner dashboard design that gives the interior a more contemporary feel.

It still looks and feels like a GTI, with heated plaid cloth sports seats standard and the familiar sporty hatchback character intact. The available feature list is broad for a car of this size, including leather upholstery and ventilated seats on the Performance trim, plus heated outboard rear seats, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a nine-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and navigation. The trade-off is that the technology can be unintuitive, prices can be high, and it is smaller than most SUVs, but that compact size is part of what keeps the Golf GTI appealing to buyers who want a practical hatchback with real driving focus.
