Few vehicles have been as iconic as the Golf GTI since the first Volkswagen Beetle. Did you know that the Golf was nicknamed ‘Rabbit’ in the US as it was believed that the vehicle’s association with golf as a sport would hamper sales? It has always been a highly affordable hatchback with cool looks, lots of pep, an upscale interior, and a compliant ride. People have recognized the GTI as the gold standard in the hot hatch segment over the years, offering a great mix of driving dynamics and practicality. The 2014 Volkswagen GTI is available as a four-door hatch with typical European styling. Power and engine capacity today are vastly improved over what was initially available, with the present sixth-generation avatar featuring a 2.0-liter, inline-4 turbo engine with 200 hp of power. The smile will never disappear from your face whenever you drive this peppy turbo with a great amount of low and mid-range torque. Expect the GTI to deliver a fuel economy ranging from 21 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway with help from either a six-speed DSG or a six-speed manual gearbox. One element that plays its part in comfort is the tire, and 2014 Volkswagen GTI tires on a new vehicle are likely to be Bridgestone Potenza RE050A or Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season.
You will find a cool and sophisticated cabin in this hatch, complete with sporty and supportive seats, surprisingly good legroom and headroom for adults, heated outside mirrors, full power accessories, a sunroof, multifunctional steering controls, and a touchscreen system. The cabin is quiet and the compliant suspension is able to deliver a comfortable ride each time. The most suitable tire size for this hatchback is 225/40R18. A list of the recommended 2014 Volkswagen GTI tires would have to include the following options- Continental ProContact TX, Kumho Ecsta PS31, and Falken Espia EPZ II It is available in two trims, namely Driver’s Edition and Wolfsburg Edition.
Adaptive xenon headlights and LED running lights are available on the Driver’s Edition trim.
