Feel the power of the Golf R
They say a lot of things about the Golf R. That it's potent at the throttle, with plenty of traction, grip and torque. That it's class-leading in space, interior, and all-round driver appeal. And that it's the ultimate high-performance machine both on the streets and on the track. But those are all things better experienced than explained. Drive it for yourself.
The Golf R's celebrated 2.0L turbocharged TSI power plant pumps out 213kW of power and delivers 380Nm of torque from only 1850rpm. You'll want to strap in for this one.
The Golf R offers dynamic and elegant styling, outside and in. The sporty exterior gives the Golf R a striking presence, which is seamlessly replicated with the perfectly tailored interior.

The 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system distributes the TSI engine's power to all four wheels as required. This prevents wheelspin and helps your Golf R gain traction on virtually any surface. In combination with the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, the new Golf R accelerates efficiently without traction loss.
The Golf R's track pedigree means it demands to be driven. And no matter what your driving style is, there's a mode for you. Be it eco, comfort, normal, race and individual, you drive it your way.
