What's New for 2023 Volkswagen Golf Models
In 2022, the Volkswagen Golf was voted "Best New Car" by Autotrader and released an American-only anniversary edition, so it faced some big challenges to top those accolades and special performances for its 2023 lineup.
Greater automation for improved convenience and driving safety are this year's biggest additions. From keyless entry and push-button start to a wireless hotspot, the new Volkswagen Golf has it all. The introduction of IQ.DRIVE adds safety features like navigation, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear traffic alert, and driver assistance (including lane assistance).
Performance by Trim Level
At Volkswagen Danbury, we provide the latest Volkswagen Golf in several unique trim configurations, including:

It is optionally available as a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. This trim's agility is perfect for taking on curves with confidence.
- Volkswagen Golf GTI: The GTI trim six-speed manual transmission with a 2.0-liter direct-injected turbocharged engine that generates a more powerful 241 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft of torque.
