Revved up and AI-ready: The new Volkswagen Golf GTI will come with ChatGPT

Revved up and AI-ready: The new Volkswagen Golf GTI will come with ChatGPT
Contents

Volkswagen will reveal an updated Golf/GTI later this month, but they have just given us a sneak peek of their upcoming hatchback at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in vegas and it's got some cool updates. The big news? It's rocking a brand-new infotainment system complete with an AI chatbot. This isn't just any old update – think more controls and even smart answers to your questions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When will Volkswagen introduce their refreshed Golf?

    End of January
  • Will the refreshed Golfs get new engines?

    No unfortunately, instead they'll stick with the current crop of powertrains
  • 2024 VW Golf

    Here's the lowdown:

    So, what's new with the Golf GTI? Besides a few slick style changes? The real star is the fresh infotainment setup. It's smart, thanks to ChatGPT, which means you can do more than just tweak your car's settings – you can quiz it on pretty much anything, and it gets smarter over time.

    Inside the Golf GTI, you'll notice a huge change – a bigger infotainment screen smack in the middle of the dash. It's similar to the one in the new Tiguan, a step up from the current Golf's screen. And it's not just about size; this screen's got brains thanks to the new AI chatbot, making voice commands way smarter. Need to change the air con or ask a random question? The Golf's got you covered. And for those worried about privacy, the AI doesn't peek into your car's data, and all your Q&As are wiped right after.

    This fancy AI system isn't just for the Golf GTI; it's also coming to the ID3, ID4, ID5, ID7, the new Passat, and Tiguan.

    Now, about the Golf GTI's new look – it's got some subtle but sharp updates. We're talking sleeker headlights, a mean-looking lower bumper, and those cool alloy wheels that remind you of the top-tier Golf R.

    At the back, there's a fresh LED pattern on the tail lights, a bigger roof spoiler, and some chunkier exhaust tips.

    And it's not just the GTI getting a makeover; the standard VW Golf is also getting a similar refresh. Expect the same kind of headlight upgrade and a new front bumper, though a bit more toned down compared to the GTI.

    As for what's under the hood, don't expect major changes across the Volkswagen Golf lineup. But hey, at least all the engines will be tried and tested units, which means you already know what you are going to get.
