The 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI Has Just Been Named One of Autotrader’s Best New Cars for 2022

How to Find This Speedy New Whip at Your Local Volkswagen Dealer in Texas

2022 has been a heckuva year so far for the Volkswagen family of vehicles. We had a huge hit in the EV space with our all-electric VW ID.4 being named the winner of the World Car of the Year Award. We also had six of our VW vehicles land on Car and Drivers Editors’ Choice List.

Now we’ve just gotten word that one of our star compacts – the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI – has just been named one of Autotrader’s best new cars for 2022. If you’re not familiar with the 2022 VW Golf, it’s the most recent iteration in our long and illustrious line of hatchbacks. It’s small, speedy, and totally capable of ripping up any road you throw in front of it.

Let’s get to know a little more about this thrilling little hatchback.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI – Three Letters That Gets Car Buyers Excited

Grand touring injection means that the engine of the car uses a direct fuel injection system. The result is that drivers get more power under the hood, faster acceleration, and speed like they wouldn’t believe. However, “grand touring injection” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, which is why Volkswagen shortened it to the moniker GTI.

When people see those three letters, they know they’re in for the ride of their lives, and the 2022 iteration of the Volkswagen Golf GTI doesn’t disappoint. This baby packs a punch with a 2.0-liter turbocharged direct-injection TSI® engine – the most powerful of any Golf GTI yet – that yields 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Whether you pair it with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG dual clutch automatic transmission, this beautiful piece of machinery is made to blow your hair back.

This newest iteration of the VW Golf has a starting MSRP of just $29,880 for the baseline trim, $36,630 for the mid-tier SE trim, or – if you want the ultimate experience – you can go all out with the Autobahn trim, which will run you $38,330 and includes every feature and convenience that VW designers and engineers could pack into the vehicle.

Features Drivers Love on the Volkswagen Golf GTI

When it comes to speed and handling, the 2022 VW Golf GTI has you totally covered on all fronts. No kidding, it’s one of the speediest and agile cars VW has ever assembled. The streets of Texas will never know what hit them.

But what about features?
Does it have infotainment covered?
And what about safety?

Check, check, and check.

We can’t recommend the Autobahn trim enough because of the Discover Pro touchscreen navigation system with 10″ display, heads-up display, and DCC® adaptive chassis control with Driving Mode Selection. You’ll also get some creature comforts like Climatronic® three-zone automatic climate control with Air Care and ventilated front seats (perfect for hot Texas days).

IQ.DRIVE, however, comes standard on all trims of the VW Golf GTI. Think of IQ.DRIVE as that extra set of eyes on the road keeping a look-out for other cars and potential hazards. It features:

• Travel Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Active Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Front Assist
• Emergency Assist (automatic transmission only)
• Lane Assist

And with myVW, you’ll have plenty of remote commands and features available right through your phone. Some of the top ones include:

• Routine maintenance and service reminders
• Request for roadside assistance
• Remote locking and unlocking
• Vehicle alerts
• Last parked location (great for stadiums and big parking lots)
