Review 

The 2015 VW Golf GTI marks the beginning of the compact, front-wheel-drive vehicles, the seventh generation. All-new, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI range comes in three-door and five-door body types plus a new wagon, with a wide variety of powertrains that use oil, diesel, or electricity for propulsion. With a trip that’s firm but easy, we’ve found the whole lineup of Golf GTI models that gives an enjoyable drive.

The interior is perfectly cozy, comfortable, and it’s simple to run. And we are not the first journalists in the car industry to say so: The prominent 2015 North American Car of the Year award was won by the new Volkswagen Golf. The 2015 Golf lineup began with the Golf TSI and sporty Golf GTI models which were fuelled by gasoline. Next came the Golf TDI, followed by the all-electric e-Golf, the high-performance Golf R, and the luxurious new 2015 Golf which is a SportWagen with powerful diesel power. 

A revised version of VW’s 1.8-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder is used for all gasoline-powered in 2015 Golf models, which give 170 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque in the regular version. And although other car makers appear to be eliminating manual transmissions, Volkswagen retains the standard 5-speed manual and an automatic optional 6-speed dual-clutch.

Fuel economy is 26/37 mpg City/Highway with the manual and 26/36 mpg City/Highway with the automatic, measured by the EPA. A modified version of VW’s turbocharged 2.0-liter direct-injected inline-4, which produces 150 hp and 236 lb.-ft., which gives a good concern in the diesel-powered 2015 Golf TDI. Torque, paired with a manual 6-speed or an automatic manual 6-speed DSG transmission. The TDI is quick and silent, maintaining outstanding fuel economy.
