Volkswagen Golf GTI (2017) Video Review

Ciro De Siena

15 Jun 2017

Not content with leaving a car on the market for more than 6 minutes, Volkswagen has released an updated version of the Golf range, including the venerable GTI, which we're now calling the Golf 7.5 GTI.

While hardcore GTI enthusiasts will easily spot the changes for the new GTI, for the less petrol-headed among us, we detail those changes and take a look at the power outputs for the latest variant. Hint: most changes have occurred in the cabin. In this video, we take the latest GTI to one of our favourite mountain passes outside Cape Town, and drive it up and down repeatedly in a bid to make a video. No one enjoyed themselves in the process. Nope. No fun was had. Zero. Cough.
