Volkswagen released updates for their hot GTI hatchbacks fro 2011, in order to keep them nice and fresh.
Designwise, 2011 GTI two and four-door models take a number of styling cues from the original Mk I. It’s all getting more aggressive with black honeycomb grille with the GTI badge on the passenger side, and the distinct red stripe outline, and blacked out fascia.
Under the hood, the latest version of the GTI utilizes the acclaimed 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder gasoline engine. Producing 200 horsepower at 5,100 rpm, and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque from 1,800 all the way up to 5,000 rpm, it does zero to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds.
Enhancing the successfully redesigned exterior from the 2010 GTI, the 2011 added, in all trim levels, voice controlled Bluetooth technology and 18” Detroit alloy wheels. Premium packages for the GTI now include the RNS 315 navigation system, Xenon head lamps with Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS), a leather multifunction steering wheel and Dynaudio 300W, all while maintaining a high level of control and comfort that drivers and passengers of the GTI have come accustomed to having in their vehicle.
Starting at $23,690, the 2011 GTI stays true to its heritage by providing a dynamic driving experience at an affordable price, and is ready to reward its owners with every start of the ignition.
