The 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI is Officially One of Autotrader’s Best New Cars for 2022

Getting to Know This Exhilarating VW Golf for Sale and Where You Can Test Drive It in South Jordan

2022 has been an incredible year so far for our family of Volkswagen vehicles. Our first foray into the EV category was a smashing success when the all-electric VW ID.4 won the 2021 World Car of the Year Award. Since then, we have appeared on several editors’ choice and “best of” lists.

Adding another accolade to the pile is the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI, which was recently named one of Autotrader’s Best New Cars for 2022. Considering how much drivers love the Golf GTI, we can’t say that we’re really surprised.

Let’s get to know a little bit more about this speedy hatchback and where you can test drive it here in South Jordan.

The Speediest and Slickest Volkswagen Golf Ever Made

Grand touring injection means that the vehicle uses a direct fuel injection system, but fans of VW simply refer to it as “GTI.” It’s those three letters that extend a promise of one of the most exhilarating driving experiences an automaker can offer.

The 2022 VW Golf for sale goes fast. Really fast. Considering that this is the 8th iteration of the GTI, Volkswagen engineers and designers pulled out all the stops when it came to building the very best vehicle of its namesake.

The new VW Golf GTI comes equipped 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. It can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG dual clutch automatic transmission.

When Car and Driver put the VW Golf GTI to the speed test, it managed to go from zero to 60 in 5.1 seconds. This whip packs some major zip. The VW Golf GTI also comes with DCC® adaptive chassis control with Driving Mode Selection. You’ll be able to handle any sharp curve or hairpin turn that comes your way.

The newest iteration of the VW Golf GTI can be purchased in three trim levels: S, SE, and Autobahn. The super affordable S trim starts at an MSRP of $29,880. For those who are wanting a few more bells and whistles out of their GTI, the SE trim starts at $34,630. And, of course, the ultimate trim in the line-up – aptly named, the Autobahn trim – clocks in at an MSRP of $38,330.

The Smartest and Safest Volkswagen Golf GTI Ever Made
