Mat's got his hands on the updated Golf GTI!

The team flew over to Germany to put the new GTI through its speeds and to likewise learn what's altered compared to the previous edition. The concern is, can it take on class leaders like the Audi S3 and AMG A35?

For starters, let's check out the design. Up front, there's an aggressive lower bumper compared to the standard and truck, and there's also a brand-new light style that includes a brightened badge and a DRL light strip across the width of the car. Along the side, you'll find updated brakes with red brake callipers, and around the back, there are upgraded taillights, a small roofing spoiler, and an updated bumper. As with any GTI, there are also twin exhaust pipes.

Step within and there are a handful of upgrades over the basic Golf. There are the standard GTI tartan seats and a GTI steering wheel. The touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel have actually been changed by physical buttons and there's also a set of stainless steel pedals. Otherwise, it's the very same as the typical Golf, which implies there's a big infotainment screen on the dash as well as a customisable digital dial display screen.

One huge change over the previous GTI edition is the performance! It might still have the exact same 2-litre turbocharged gas engine, but the power output has now increased from 245hp to 265hp! The torque figure has actually stayed the same at 370Nm.

The beginning rate for the GTI is around ₤ 39,000. However are you much better off awaiting the upcoming Clubsport edition, which will just cost around ₤ 41,000? Or better yet, need to you wait on the upcoming Golf R, which will just cost around ₤ 4,000 more?! You'll require to stick to Mat and discover for yourself!
