2025 Volkswagen Golf R Specs
The new VW Golf R is classified as a high-performance hatchback. As part of the eighth-generation Golf lineup, it continues the VW legacy of everyday usability and excellent performance. It boasts a spacious five-passenger cabin and foldable second-row seats, making it a practical choice for drivers with modern transportation needs.
The Golf R is more powerful than ever before, equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI engine that gives the everyday driver a little thrill on the go. The standard 6-speed manual transmission and the 4MOTION AWD system put both power and control directly in the hands of the driver, giving even the strictest purists an exciting ride while improving handling and traction in any condition.

Sporty meets Sophisticated
The Golf R features a modernized cabin with leather seats and a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel. Coupled with a 12-way power adjustable driver seat, this VW standout maximizes customization and comfort. The exterior design features aerodynamic curves that embrace the classic hatchback body style, which, along with the high-powered engine build, gives the even slickest racecars a run for their money.
Upgraded Tech
The 10-inch Discover Pro infotainment system comes standard, offering easy-to-use controls for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. The Digital Cockpit Pro display keeps critical driving information directly in front of the driver so their focus always stays on the road. With App-Connect, you can wireless connect through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and safely use apps for a seamless and convenient experience. The Golf R also has USB ports in the front and rear of the vehicle, so everyone in the car stays charged up and connected.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Volkswagen prioritizes safety with its IQ.DRIVE suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies. These systems work together to improve safety and reduce stress and fatigue on drivers during daily commutes and long trips. These features include:
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
