The Golf R is a truly modern performance hatchback: unmistakably Golf, but with
performance in mind. This phenomenal car delivers all the dynamic handling,
exhilaration and excitement you could ask for, along with the class-leading
performance and sheer driving enjoyment you'd expect from the fastest ever Golf.
Dynamic, high performance, intuitive and more responsive than ever before, The Golf R represents the best generation of the Golf model.
Ever since the Golf R was created, it has been defining its class. The Golf R has
once again demonstrated that it is driven by innovation. Get to know and explore
the Golf's features.
The Golf R exterior features motorsport inspired design with narrow LED
headlights and a sportier front grille. The front design gives the Golf R more
presence and now sits lower to the ground with aerodynamic performance in mind for
a more responsive drive.
The Golf R showcases Volkswagen's quality interior design at its finest. As soon as
you ease into the R sports seats you'll notice that thanks to the new
innovative design, there are far fewer buttons to navigate on the dashboard. The
ambient lighting package illuminates the interior from a selection of 30
colours.
LED tinted tail light clusters with dynamic sequential indicator function,
emphasizes the Golf's sleek, modern and striking rear design.
It's all about the drive
From the 320PS engine, to the R sports seats, the Golf R is all about the drive. A
performance hatch made for the enthusiast to enjoy the art of performance driving.
Inspired by motorsport events, the Golf R is made to perform at any time, yet it
offers the practicality of an everyday hatchback.
The Golf R, which has been on the market since the start of the year, outperforms
all previous Golf R models, boasting 235 kW / 320 PS and a torque of 420Nm. The car
accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and onto an electronically limited
top speed of up to 270km/h.
Features a newly developed four-wheel drive system with selective wheel torque
control on the rear axle, called 4MOTION with Performance Torque Vectoring. The
system not only manages power between the front and rear axles, but also between
the two rear wheels. Up to 100 % of available torque can be directed to the rear
wheel on the outside of a bend, which leads to noticeably more agile handling.
Vehicle Dynamics Manager, first seen on the Golf GTI, also features on the Golf R -
the first application of this system with four-wheel drive. In short, it
continually optimizes vehicle handling by coordinating all electromechanical
functions. These include the XDS electronic differential lock, DCC (if fitted), and
even the clutch control for the rear torque vectoring function.
The Golf R is lowered by 20 mm compared with the standard production model and its
running gear has been tuned further than before. Springs rates have been increased
by 10 % over the outgoing car, while increased negative camber on the front axle
aids higher cornering speeds. A more rigid and lighter aluminium front subframe has
also been utilised, and the progressive steering is now more direct for greater
feedback. Stopping power in the Golf R has been upgraded too with bigger
brakes compared to the older model.
Connected wirelessly
From making a call to getting the most updated traffic information with Wireless
App-Connect, the Golf R offers various possibilities using modern technology in an
uncomplicated way.
Inside, the Golf R is equipped with a Digital Cockpit that has been especially
programmed for the Golf R. Customisable displays can show boost pressure, gearbox
temperatures, torque distribution and much more.
The Discover Pro infotainment system in the Golf R combines navigation
and connectivity with in-car entertainment - all controlled from its easy-to-use
10-inch touchscreen colour display.
Wireless App-Connect® allows you to easily display selected Apple/Android
smartphone apps on the infotainment touchscreen system using CarPlay™ from Apple
and Android Auto™ from Google wirelessly.
Through the Golf R voice control you can select between radio stations, scroll
through your address book, or change course on your Sat-Nav.
480W of pure sound
The exclusive Harman Kardon 480W digital sound system features a sophisticated,
elegant design, 12-channel digital amplifier and surround sound, delivering
seriously impressive acoustics via its 10 high performance speakers.
Exemplary sound
Cutting Edge Technology

Safety. Always protected
For your added peace of mind, the fully integrated safety systems are designed to
make every journey a breeze. It comes with 6 airbags, as well as an advanced
electronic differential lock linked to a sophisticated Electronic Stabilisation
Control (ESC) system.
The safety structure of the Golf R is made to protect you and your loved ones in an
emergency situation. The combination of high quality steel is extensively
engineered for this purpose. 6 airbags also adds the additional protection
needed.
Provides the driver with support for lane changing by indicating the presence of
vehicles within the area which is critical for lane changing. A light in the
relevant wing mirror lights up continuously to warn the driver of the potential
risk.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert, warns drivers reversing out of parking spaces of vehicles
approaching at an angle of 90 degrees - this is the usual situation in the case of
parking spaces at right angles to the road.

and helps bring your car safely back under control.
Invitingly sporty yet comfortable
If the exterior excites, the interior more than delivers. Ambient lighting, superb
sports seats, beautiful sporty interior trimming, sports steering wheel, the Golf R
is sporty yet invitingly comfortable.
Air Care 'Climatronic' keeps pollen, fungal spores and particulates out from
entering the car. The air purification system uses an air quality sensor with an
active biogenic filter that is more effective than conventional pollen filters. The
active biogenic filter also prevents fungal spores and minute allergens from
entering the car.
Ambient Lighting
Make it your own
The Golf R features 5 modes of ambient lighting plus an individual mode with 30 colours and adjustable intensity ensures an impressive and unique feeling of space.

"R performance torque vectoring in the rear wheels has transformed the handling,
and is standard for the Mk8 R. Whereas older Rs tended to understeer, the Mk8 R has
a keenly neutral handling balance with a propensity for the rear to pivot
positively to throttle inputs. This is an incredible sensation that gives the car
adjustability and interaction like never before. Even without all-wheel steering,
the agility of the Mk8 R is spellbinding."
Worthy of its R nomenclature? Oneshift surely agrees. Read on more in the article
