There are several key differences between the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the regular Golf: 1. Engine: The Golf GTI is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged/inline four-cylinder 16-valve electronically controlled dual injection system (direct injection and multi-point injection) engine, which delivers stronger performance, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds. The regular Golf uses a 1.6L inline four-cylinder 16-valve electronically controlled fuel injection engine. 2. Transmission: The Golf GTI features a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The regular Golf has a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. 3. Suspension system: The Golf GTI comes with reinforced MacPherson independent suspension/reinforced four-link independent suspension, providing more stable handling and a top speed of 240 km/h. The regular Golf has a front MacPherson independent suspension/rear compound torsion beam semi-independent suspension, with a top speed of 185 km/h.
