With some upgraded standard equipment and the inclusion of an all-new trim level, the 2019 model is built from bumper to bumper with your comforts and needs in mind. Swing by our dealership in Huntington Station and we'll take you through our new inventory to discover all the Volkswagen Golf GTI can do.

What's New for the 2019 Golf GTI?

There have been a few slight changes that can have a significant impact on your new vehicle's performance. Engine output has been bumped up by eight horsepower while it also receives stronger brakes and a mechanical limited-slip differential from the 2019 Golf R. Some driver assistance features have been made available as options on the base model in the lineup while a new trim, the Rabbit Edition, is now ready for purchase. This allows for extra standard equipment and options in the SE trim.

The 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance and Capabilities

When you get right down to it, how a vehicle handles the roads of Melville, NY is one of the most important features of owning a car. This model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 258 pounds per feet of torque. It's controlled by a six-speed manual transmission but an option for a six-speed automatic is available if you prefer that driving style.

This Volkswagen hatchback only comes as a front-wheel drive model but that means you'll be able to get a bit more traction on those rougher roads.

Interior Comforts of the 2019 Golf GTI

Driving a hatchback allows you to embrace the full potential of a roomy and spacious interior. There is seating for up to five passengers and the interior provides 116.3 cubic feet of space to really stretch out. If you want to make short work of your next round of errands, the back seats fold down to include 52.7 cubic feet of cargo area!
