Enhanced performance
Both models come with a turbocharged engine delivering 245 kW (333 PS). The Golf R accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, while the Golf R Estate completes it in 4.8 seconds. With R Black Edition equipped with optional R Performance package as standard, the top speed is increased to 270 km/h (from 250 km/h) where law permits.
Distinctive design
The new R comes with a variety of alloys. The new 19-inch “Warmenau” forged wheels in Black, or with a high sheen grey surface, are freshly developed. They are named after the headquarters of Volkswagen R and are characterised by their filigree, progressive and open design. With a weight of just eight kilograms per rim, they are around 20 per cent lighter than the “Estoril” alloy wheels and improve performance
Interior innovation
The multi-function sports leather steering wheel in the new Golf R has been improved for easier operation: compared to the Golf standard model, it has larger DSG shift paddles and is visually appealing with perforated leather in the grip area and a blue steering wheel clasp as well as decorative stitching, also in blue. There are “R”-specific door side trims, floor mats with the “R”-logo and pedal caps, the brushed stainless steel driver's footrest and a black roof lining.
The all new Black Edition
The Golf R Black Edition features a completely dark aesthetic, 19-inch Estoril wheels, and the Performance package as standard. It includes IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, black R brake calipers, and special driving modes like drift and special for track enthusiasts.
All of the new trims will benefit from a sharper exterior, new IQ Matrix Lights and new LED tail light clusters, with animations and an illuminated VW logo.
The interior is enhanced for driver focus and comfort, featuring the new IDA voice assistant with ChatGPT integration.
