The eighth Golf generation has a powerful shoulder section and striking rear end design with standard LED tail light clusters. The GTD also benefits from this dynamic design. The GTD lettering is now positioned centrally under the Volkswagen emblem rather than on the driver side as it was before. The roof spoiler is extended rearwards and merges with the black edging around the rear window, making the Golf GTD appear even flatter. Down below, the sporty diffuser distinguishes the GTD from the less powerful versions of the product line with diesel engine. A further distinguishing feature of the Golf GTD: the exhaust system’s twin tailpipes arranged on the left-hand side. Traditional GTD characteristics in the vehicle interior.

The acronym GTD has a long tradition: Back in 1982 the first Golf GTD appeared – the GTI among diesels. The new Golf GTD with its 125 kW / 170 PS speaks to all diesel fans who value a maximum in dynamic performance. That is why the GTD shows such a clear similarity to the new Golf GTI (155 kW / 210 PS). While the GTI is in a league of its own with an efficient turbocharged gasoline engine that offers the performance of far more expensive sports cars, the Golf GTD is making its debut with phenomenal fuel economy.

As an option, the Volkswagen also offers the Golf GTD in combination with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) – here too, at 4.5 l/100 km (CO₂: 119 g/km) the diesel exhibits the fuel consumption of a highly efficient car (previous model: 5.4 l/100 km). A short retrospective illustrates just how efficient the new 184 PS Golf is: the first generation of the Golf BlueMotion made its debut in 2007. The 77 kW / 105 PS Golf consumed 4.5 l/100 km; at the time this value was celebrated as sensational. In the new GTD, Volkswagen is now launching a Golf on the market that has 79 PS more power and is 40 km/h faster, yet it consumes 0.3 litre less fuel. That is measurable progress. Technology of the new TDI EA288 engine series. As noted, the TDI of the Golf GTD comes from the new EA288 four-cylinder diesel engine series which covers engine displacements ranging from 1.6 to 2.0 litres. In the new Golf GTD, the most powerful extension level of the 2.0 TDI is used.

It worked: The modern and reliable drive concept, the excellent spatial economy and ultimately the design as well, won over the market to such an extent that production of the one-millionth Golf was already being celebrated in October 1976. Like every Golf that would appear after it, the first generation, too, reflected the progress and automotive trends. In launching the first Golf GTI (in 1976), Volkswagen heralded the introduction of greater dynamism in this class, while the Golf D (naturally aspirated diesel engine, 1976) and the later Golf GTD (turbodiesel, 1982) marked the breakthrough for diesel cars in the compact segment. With the Golf Cabriolet, introduced in 1979, Volkswagen launched an open car on the market that was at times the best-selling open car in the world. 6.99 million vehicles of the first generation Golf, including all derivatives such as the convertible and the Jetta (at that time structurally identical), were sold – 0.87 million Golf cars per year.
