The ability to select Race and Drift driving profile modes is just the start of it. Unleash your inner daredevil with a vehicle that channels all its attributes towards giving you an edge-of-your-seat ride.
Ever had the feeling of driver and car acting as one? Experience perfect driving harmony with premium bucket seats, sports steering wheel and innovative driver aids all working together to put you in control.
Take one look at the Golf R’s racing-inspired styling, complete with its lowered stance, aggressive posture and signature R details and you’ll beg to get behind the wheel.
Enjoy prodigious performance when you drive the latest Golf R.
The 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine in the Golf R packs the ultimate power punch. A stirring 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque can propel the Golf R from 0–100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.
Handle every road like a racetrack with all-wheel-drive 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring. The feature distributes the engine’s output not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels for outstanding grip and stability.
Take control of the Golf R’s ride and handling characteristics when you select from among six available driving profiles. Set your pulse racing when you press the ‘R’ logo on the steering wheel to activate the ‘Race’ driving profile setting. Send it into overdrive when you choose one of two exclusive R Performance driving profiles – ‘Drift’ for exhilarating drifting capability away from public roads and ‘Special’, which has been tuned for the exacting conditions of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.
The Golf R’s assured all-wheel drive system finds full expression when it’s networked via a Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM). The integrated system performs minor braking interventions and alters damper compression on selected wheels to provide optimal traction and precise driving control.
Aggressive styling reveals the potent performance lurking in every Golf R.
The Golf R’s sleek design and powerful presence convey a vehicle that is the epitome of sporting performance. With its lowered stance, large front intake and body-coloured side sills, the Golf R is the quintessential head-turner. The R Performance Package ups the ante further with its lightweight alloy wheels, large roof spoiler and aggressive-looking rear diffuser with four chrome-plated tailpipes.
Put yourself at the centre of the action with the Golf R’s multifunction sports steering wheel, which offers responsive feedback and precision control. Bolstered, heated and ventilated front sports seats with integrated head restraints are covered in supple Nappa leather2 providing supreme comfort.
View the Golf R in profile and it’s hard not to be struck by the vehicle’s purposeful 19” Estoril alloy wheels and prominent blue brake callipers. Together they provide terrific on-road performance and ruthless stopping power.
There’s nothing like the Golf R’s panoramic electric glass sunroof for letting the sun stream into the cabin and the open air in your hair.
Nothing is more important than ensuring you and your passengers arrive at your destination safely. It’s why Volkswagen includes an extensive suite of driver assistance and safety features in every Golf R.3
The new Golf R comes with a range of driver assistance aids designed to make driving as enjoyable as possible. Travel Assist allows for partially automated driving across a range of speeds, from stop/start city driving through to highway speeds. And Front Assist is invaluable in cases where emergency action must be taken to prevent a collision.3
Take the stress out of reverse parking and avoid nasty bumps and scrapes with semi-autonomous parking technology that can help you steer into even the most challenging of parking spaces.3
Every Golf R is packed with safety features designed to prevent an accident happening and mitigate the consequences of an unavoidable collision. Foremost among the clever technology contained in every Golf R is Proactive Occupant Protection. When a potential incident is detected, the system automatically tightens the front seat belts and closes the side windows (leaving a small crack) and sliding roof (if open) to better protect vehicle occupants.3
2. Leather appointed seats have a combination of genuine and artificial leather, but are not wholly leather.
3. Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
