I love the cornflower blue color of the 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Because it's not at all quiet. And reflective of the car's potency. But there's more to what makes the overall package so enticing. Because of what the car costs, it shouldn't perform as well as it does. Plus it shouldn't look as good as it does. And it shouldn't be so darn fun to drive. So my Top-3 for the 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI probably come as no surprise. '21 VW Golf GTI Top-3: Value Performance Exterior design My friends at Ontario Volkswagen provided me with the gorgeous GTI pictured in this article. And that is the Southern California Volkswagen dealership you want to work with - for sure! Ontario VW right by Ontario Airport :0) 2021 VW Golf GTI Prices & Trims For 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI offers three trims; the S, SE and, Autobahn. The European carmaker indicates that all trims this year include special styling cues. And these cues are to indicate the final model year of the seventh-generation Golf GTI. For sure they are subtle. But like any artwork, you have a greater appreciation, once you know. So, what are they? Simple gloss black painted side-view mirrors and rear lip spoiler. Nice. :0) 2021 VW Golf GTI Trims & MSRPs: S - starts at $28,695 SE - $32,665 Autobahn $36,945 Engine, Transmission & MPG No matter which of the trims you go with your engine will be the same. It's a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that puts out 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque Additionally, regardless of trim, you have two transmission options.

So, if daily gridlock is your reality then go automatic because it also includes Tiptronic. Which is basically a clutchless manual. So, you get most of the fun without the work of the manual. But for me personally, I still love manually shifting sporty cars like GTI. '21 VW Golf GTI MPG: Manual: 23/26/30 Automatic: 24/27/32 *City/combined/highway GTI's curb weight varies only slightly.

The final model year of the 7th generation VW GTI is unmistakable in appearance. It's pure Volkswagen. And pure hot hatch. Especially in the cornflower blue color with the trademark red GTI accents. VW first introduced the cornflower blue in the 2019 Golf GTI Rabit Edition. And I was immediately captivated by the color. Cornflower blue! Thankfully, the good folks at V-Dub wound up with a few extra gallons of this gorgeous hue. It's in high-demand and tough to find. Other, more readily available '21 GTI colors include; dark iron blue metallic, deep black pearl, pure white, and tornado red.
