While both the Golf GTI and Veloster N offer their own unique benefits, the 2021 VW Golf GTI hatchback offers many advantages over this competitor. First, you will notice that the 2021 VW Golf GTI is significantly more affordable than the Veloster N by nearly $4,000! Although the Veloster N does offer the stronger engine, that extra $4,000 may not feel worth the price for an added 47 horsepower. In addition, Golf GTI drivers will also have the potential to save hundreds of dollars per year with its more efficient fuel economy measured at 23 city MPG, 30 highway MPG, and 26 combined MPG by the EPA.
Finally, commuters searching for a high-quality interior can find what they need inside the Golf GTI. Clark Plaid cloth give the seats inside the Golf GTI a unique and stunning appearance while available leather-trimmed seats are also offered for those that prefer a more luxurious look and feel. If you were to choose the Veloster N, your only option would be the leatherette/cloth seats, which means you won’t have any customization options to make the hatchback feel special to you.
