The shape of the tail is roughly the same as that of the eighth generation golf, with the main difference being the replacement of the tail mark with the word "GTI" and the use of a more sporty double exhaust.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car uses a 10.25-inch full liquid crystal meter with an exclusive GTI display mode, and is equipped with a three-spoke sports steering wheel to further enhance the driving atmosphere of the interior.
