Visual sovereignty

Self-confident down to the last detail: a new front section with air curtains and unmistakable lighting design, combined with the “R”-specific side sills, exterior mirror caps, the lower section of the rear apron and the four-flow exhaust system, create an independent exterior look that sets the Golf R apart from the other R models.

Highly dynamic cornering

The 4MOTION all-wheel drive of the new Golf R utilises R-Performance Torque Vectoring, which is already familiar from its predecessor. This allows the drive power to be variably distributed between the front and rear axles and also between the left and right rear wheels. The result: agile driving behaviour and more stability when cornering at higher speeds.

Room for individuality

The interior of the Golf R is ergonomically tailored to the vehicle occupants. The driver and front passenger sit in stylish 'R' Nappa leather seats which feature a carbon look with blue stitching and an 'R' Logo in the seat backrest. The seats increase comfort and stability during dynamic journeys.
