Volkswagen GTI weight

Volkswagen GTI curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier GTI may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Volkswagen GTI may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Volkswagen GTI was produced in 2006 with a weight of 2934 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2014 with 3113 lbs pounds in curb weight.

Explore the data below and compare how other Volkswagen GTI body mass parameters like gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and payload capacity changed between the generations.
