Engine

It's like it was made for motorsports.

With a powerful 228 kW (310 HP), greater torque and remarkable acceleration levels, the new Golf R brings masterful power to the road.

With the Golf R, you're in pole position on the road, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. This means that the new Golf R is not only the most powerful Golf there's ever been, but also the fastest.

4Motion

Maintain traction.

Do you want to enjoy good grip, even while covering wet and rough grounds?

The permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive 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-gear DSG dual clutch transmission, the new Golf accelerates efficiently without traction loss.

Sport HMI

Keep an eye on the performance values.

How much power does the powertrain provide? How high is the charge pressure? Now you can always keep an eye on the technology. The Sport Human Machine Interface (HMI) will keep you informed about the performance of your Golf R.

It gives you deep insight into the technology so that you can get the best from your Golf R. Directly on the screen of your infotainment system, it shows you current engine values such as the charge pressure and G-meter as well as the power currently being used. On the track, lap timers are used both to measure lap times and to show the current longitudinal and lateral acceleration.

Keyless Entry & Start

Convenience is key.

Searching for your keys are now a thing of the past. You can start the engine of your Golf at the press of the starter button, while leaving your keys in your bag. Proximity sensors detect your key within 1.5 metres of the car, meaning it can automatically unlock as you pull the door handle. Keyless entry and start (KESSY).

Gesture Control

Small gestures make all the difference.

Small gestures can achieve a lot in everyday life, but also when it comes to gesture control in your car. This function makes it even more convenient to operate the optional Discover Pro system.

It enables you to easily move around in the main menu and various sub menus using a swipe gesture to switch pages. For example, with just a single hand movement, you can switch radio station.

Rear View Camera

See what’s behind you, in front of you.

Whether reversing out of a busy parking lot or trying to squeeze into a tricky spot, an extra set of eyes are always handy. The Rear View Camera installed at the back of the car, displays a live picture on your screen that shows what’s behind you. Coupled with parking sensors, reversing is now safer and easier.
