For many local drivers, from bustling urban routes to weekend escapes out of town, advanced safety technology is no longer optional—it’s expected. That’s where IQ.DRIVE® shines, offering features designed to support you every mile without distracting from the GTI’s hallmark performance.

What’s unique about IQ.DRIVE® isn’t just the number of features, but how seamlessly they work together. Adaptive cruise control manages speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, while lane assist gently nudges you to stay within clearly marked boundaries—a crucial benefit during long stints on the highway. These capabilities don’t detract from the responsive, spirited drive that the 2025 Golf GTI is famous for; they simply add an extra layer of confidence, whether you’re threading through Ontario’s evening traffic or venturing out to Riverside, Chino, or Corona for a weekend drive. The system’s engagement is subtle—helping out when you need it, but never overriding your command as a driver.
