Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport

If you are choosing a Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport from this catalogue, the decision is already made by the data: there is 1 generation and 1 version. The only listed car is the 2.0 i DSG in the 8 generation, restyling 1 Hatchback 5-door, on sale from 2024-10-01 with no stop date.

The only listed car is the 2.0 i DSG in the 8 generation, restyling 1 Hatchback 5-door, on sale from 2024-10-01 with no stop date. That version is rated at 300 hp (220 kW) and 400 Nm from a 1998 cm³ Gasoline engine, with a 7-speed Robotic gearbox and FWD. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, and no second drive layout to trade against it. What follows is not a recap of the model; it is a buyer’s comparison using the numbers that exist, arithmetic on those numbers, and an explicit list of what is not measured.

Which version to buy

Buy the 2.0 i DSG. It is the only modification in the dataset (`modifikaciy`: 1). There is no lower-power Clubsport, no higher-power Clubsport, no automatic, no manual, and no AWD row to choose instead.

What the extra specification money would buy on other cars in this class is not in this file. On this model, “the extra money” cannot be mapped to a second Golf GTI Clubsport line because a second line is not listed. The buyer’s question therefore becomes: does this set of figures match the job, and which gaps must you live with.

On the 2.0 i DSG, specific output is 300 / 1.998 ≈ 150.2 hp per litre and 220 / 1.998 ≈ 110.1 kW per litre. Torque density is 400 / 1.998 ≈ 200.2 Nm per litre. Peak power over peak torque is 300 / 400 = 0.75 hp per Nm. Those ratios come only from the listed 300 hp, 220 kW, 400 Nm and 1998 cm³. They describe a high-output 2.0, not a second variant.

If two versions had the same name, they would be split by horsepower. Here the name 2.0 i DSG appears once, so no horsepower suffix is required.

Generations compared (what changed)

The catalogue records 1 generation (`pokoleniy`: 1). Restyling is not a separate generation: the only generation row is 8 generation, restyling 1. Production of that generation starts 2024-10-01 and `stop` is empty (still current in this file). Body type is Hatchback 5-door. Inside it sits 1 version.

There is no prior Golf GTI Clubsport generation in this extract, so you cannot compute a generation-to-generation change in horsepower, torque, 0–100, or weight. Nothing in the data says the restyling added or removed cylinders, gears, or driven wheels relative to an earlier Clubsport: those earlier rows are not here. The buyer who wants “the later generation because it is faster” has no second generation to compare. The later (and only) car is the 2.0 i DSG Hatchback 5-door from 2024-10-01.

Note the version’s own `start` of 2024-01-01 versus the generation `start` of 2024-10-01. Both dates are in the source. Do not invent a story that fills the gap; use both dates as listed.

Engine and specs (the only row)

VersionhpkWNmDisplacement, cm³FuelCylindersLayoutBoostGearboxGearsDrive
2.0 i DSG3002204001998Gasoline4InlineTurboRobotic7FWD

The 2.0 i DSG engine is Front, transverse. Fuel system is Direct injection (direct). Fuel grade in the English field is 95. Valves per cylinder: 4. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured. Engine rpm for peak power is not measured. Engine rpm for peak torque is not measured.

Do not read “2.0” as a different displacement than 1998 cm³: the displacement field is 1998. Cylinder count and layout are 4 and Inline from the data, not a guessed format.

Buyer implication of this single row: you cannot downspec to a naturally aspirated Golf GTI Clubsport here (`nadduv_en`: Turbo). You cannot choose AWD (`drive`: FWD). You cannot choose a torque-converter automatic (`gearbox`: Robotic, 7 gears). If FWD plus a 7-speed Robotic box is unacceptable, this catalogue has no Clubsport alternative.

Performance and mpg

For the 2.0 i DSG:

A buyer ranking versions by fuel use cannot rank this model against itself: mpg is not measured. A buyer ranking by 0–100 has only 5.6. A buyer ranking by top speed has only 250. There is no second 0–100 to subtract from 5.6, and no second top speed to subtract from 250.

Power-to-weight and kg per hp cannot be calculated: kerb weight is not measured. Stating a weight-to-power figure would invent a number.

Dimensions, weight, tank, wheels

For the 2.0 i DSG (and the only generation body, Hatchback 5-door):

Front suspension: Independent, spring. Rear suspension: Independent, spring. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc ventilated (spelling as in the English source field).

If your purchase filter is payload, towing-adjacent mass, winter ground clearance, or a specific wheel diameter, this file does not support a yes or no. Those filters are not measured, not “unlimited.”

Problems and reliability

No problem counts, warranty terms, recall lists, or reliability scores are in the launch data. Reliability is not measured. Common-fault lists are not measured. Treat any third-party “typical Golf GTI Clubsport issues” as outside this catalogue.

What you can lock to the spec when thinking about ownership:

That is the mechanical footprint of the only buyable row, not a reliability verdict.

What the numbers buy you (and what they do not)

On the 2.0 i DSG you are buying 300 hp and 400 Nm in a Hatchback 5-door, FWD, Robotic 7, 0–100 5.6, top speed 250, specific output about 150.2 hp/l. You are not buying a documented fuel figure, a documented kerb weight, a documented tank, or a second Clubsport trim to spend more on.

Arithmetic that is not allowed because a required input is missing:

The honest recommendation: if a 300 hp / 400 Nm / 1998 cm³ Gasoline Turbo 2.0 i DSG Hatchback 5-door with FWD and a 7-speed Robotic gearbox matches the brief, this is the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport to buy, because it is the only version listed. If you need a second engine, another drive, a measured mpg, or a measured weight, this catalogue does not contain that car.
