Model specification

Built for performance
Unleash the beast with the new Golf R, armed with the R Performance package. From the Rear Spoiler that stabilises high-speed antics, to the Titanium Exhaust engineered by Akrapovič, and bold new 19” Estoril alloy wheels, this isn’t your typical ride. With the Drift and Special mode, drivers are able to configure the car’s characteristics to match any driving style. This machine doesn’t just drive, it dominates, with dynamic handling and unrivalled thrills thanks to R division tech.

Transform every turn with R Performance

Drift and Special mode
Working hand-in-hand with Torque Vectoring, the Drift mode gives you total control during the more ‘playful moments’ to ensure a safer and fluid drive. By simply engaging the R button on the sporty, flat-bottomed steering wheel, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is turned off and shifts the torque evenly to the rear, transforming the hatchback by injecting even more excitement to the driving experience.
While “Drift” mode is perfect for sliding action, the “Special” mode is best experienced on back and country roads, where suspension is adjusted for optimum contact on the tarmac. Specifically designed for the Nürburgring- Nordschleife, this mode gives the car a set-up that meets the distinctive requirements of what is probably the most demanding racetrack in the world.

Where stability meets style
With the R Performance Rear Spoiler, you’re not just driving, you’re making a statement. Crafted for aerodynamic improvements, the spoiler strikes a superb balance between style and function – a testament to Volkswagen’s undying commitment to design with a purpose. Drawing inspiration from motorsports, it embellishes your Golf R with that extra dash of charisma.

Comes with all the pops and crackles
The new Akrapovič exhaust system is a lightweight titanium-crafted symphony that serenades the streets while shedding 7kg off your ride. Enjoy the freedom of precise control, boosted efficiency and an unmistakable robust sound.

The new Golf R’s 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive system utilises rear-axle torque vectoring, delivering a whole new level of performance.

Shaped for performance

with IQ.DRIVE
It’s equipped with the latest IQ.DRIVE technology and numerous safety features such as Travel Assist with ACC, Side Assist, and more. Other features include seven airbags, Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Driver Alert system, and Volkswagen’s Intelligent Crash Response System that triggers during certain collisions. In essence, the new Golf R combines intense performance with advanced safety.

Ease your mind  with Travel Assist
With Travel Assist, you have an extremely useful driving assistance system on board. It can keep your vehicle in its lane, keep its distance from the vehicle in front and maintain your pre-defined speed. Among other things, it uses the adaptive lane guidance system for this. This system actively keeps the vehicle in the middle of its lane.

Lane Assist
Helping you stay between the lines for the long haul

No matter what kind of road you’re driving on, if you’re 56 kmh or faster, IQ.DRIVE can help keep you from going over the lines.
If your vehicle begins to drift without your turn signal on, IQ.DRIVE can warn you and counter steer when activated to help ensure you stay in your lane.

Side Assist
Helping steer you clear of the things you might not see

When you’re focused on the journey ahead, your vehicle’s IQ.DRIVE technologies can help by alerting you when another vehicle may be hiding in your blind spots and helping counter-steer when necessary.

Front Assist
Alerting you before a collision
Even when we’re driving at our best, we still need to keep an eye out to avoid accidents with other cars or pedestrians in front of us. Thankfully, the IQ.DRIVE technology monitors the road ahead with the ability to help brake on its own. It’ll first provide audio and visual alerts when you’re driving at higher speeds and at risk of a potential collision. Then, if necessary, it’ll automatically apply brakes to help mitigate or avoid a collision.

Adaptive Cruise

Control (ACC)
Going with the flow made more stress-free
When the road gets busy, IQ.DRIVE can help keep things cruising. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it uses sensors to detect vehicles ahead of you, helping adjust your speed, and manages the distance between you and what’s in front of you, adapting to the situation you’re in.
