The Difference in 2019 Volkswagen Golf Models is in the Engine
Volkswagen Golf |
Versus |
2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI |
|---|---|---|
| 1.4L 4-cylinder Turbo 6M | Engine | 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbo 6M |
| 147 hp | Power | 228 hp |
| 184 ft-lbs. | Torque | 258 ft-lbs. |

For those wanting additional power to the 2019 Volkswagen Golf, look no further than the sporty engine found in the 2019 VW GTI. With over 80 more horsepower in its 2.0-liter engine, the 2019 Golf GTI trades fuel economy for more power, making it a fun ride if you combine it with its sporty handling should you use the recommended premium unleaded fuel. The model is great for those looking for an extra kick, but daily commuters may still enjoy the additional mileage the VW Golf has to offer.
Smaller Amenities Found in the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI
