Introducing the R Performance Package

The Golf R now comes with the R Performance Package for a more engaging and dynamic drive. 

The Golf R with R Performance Package

R Performance Titanium Exhaust System Pure Sound

Akrapovic, the famous exhaust makers, teamed up with Volkswagen to create a more performance oriented exhaust system that offers an even more engaging sound and performance. It is also lighter and reduces the unsprung weight at the rear of the vehicle. 

R Performance Rear Spoiler Pure Aerodynamics

This larger and more aggressive rear spoiler on the Golf R enables and improves traction at higher speeds with more downforce on the rear axle. The design of the spoiler is motorsport inspired and honed for aerodynamics. It also adds a more aggressive visual effect at the rear of the Golf R. 

R Performance 19" Estoril Alloy Wheels Pure Style

The beautifully machined 19" Estoril alloy wheels add a sense of refined and restrained aggression and complements the R philosophy. 

R Special and Drift Modes Pure Fun

The 2 new modes, Special and Drift, adds another level of fun and control in the Golf R. It allows full upshift control and also optimises the steering response and lateral dynamics during performance driving. 

Introducing the IQ.DRIVE

Designed to
keep you safer

Getting where you need to go just got a lot easier. IQ.DRIVE is designed to help you navigate the road ahead with enhanced safety. From in-town rides to highway drives, IQ.DRIVE is there for you no matter the destination. ⁠

Driving with a little help behind the wheel

From steering support to speeding up or slowing down, IQ.DRIVE technology helps keep your mind at ease. Our engineers would tell you it's because it has hands on semi-automated driving capabilities, but we like to think of it as an added boost of reassurance to help keep you safer on the road.⁠

 

Adaptive Cruise Control

Going with the flow made more stress-free

When the road gets busy, IQ.DRIVE can help keep things cruising. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it uses sensors to detect vehicles ahead of you, helping adjust your speed, and manages the distance between you and what's in front of you, adapting to the situation you're in.⁠

 

Side Assist

Helping steer you clear of the things you might not see

When you're focused on the journey ahead, your vehicle's IQ.DRIVE technologies can help by alerting you when another vehicle may be hiding in your blind spots and helping counter-steer when necessary.⁠

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Backing you up when you back up

You can't always see what might be crossing behind you when reversing out of a parking spot or backing out of a driveway. IQ.DRIVE technologies can help monitor what's behind, alerting you when cars and motorcycles that could cause a collision are detected and helping hit the brakes before it's too late.⁠

Front Assist

Alerting you before a collision

Even when we're driving at our best, we still need to keep an eye out to avoid accidents with other cars or pedestrians in front of us. Thankfully, the IQ.DRIVE technology monitors the road ahead with the ability to help brake on its own. It'll first provide audio and visual alerts when you're driving at higher speeds and at risk of a potential collision. Then, if necessary, it'll automatically apply brakes to help mitigate or avoid a collision.⁠

 

Emergency Assist

Helping you stop when you can’t

When Travel or Lane Assist is active and something serious happens where you lose the ability to drive, IQ.DRIVE technologies can help bring you to a stop. First, it'll alert you numerous times and if you're still unresponsive, it'll bring the car to a controlled stop, helping to keep you and others on the road safer.⁠

Lane Assist

Helping you stay between the lines for the long haul

No matter what kind of road you're driving on, if you're 35 mph or faster, IQ.DRIVE can help keep you from going over the lines. If your vehicle begins to drift without your turn signal on, IQ.DRIVE can warn you and counter-steer when activated to help ensure you stay in your lane.

Safety Cell

Keeping you safe

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. 7 airbags (including a centre airbag) also adds the additional protection needed. 

 

Automatic Post Collision Brake System

Always helping you every time

Applies the brakes to prevent or mitigate a subsequent impact when a vehicle is involved in a collision.

Rest Assist (Driver Alert System)

Being alert

Get reminded to take a break on long and tiring journeys.

 

ISOFIX

Keeping your children safe

Secures your child's car seat to reduce the risk of injury in an accident.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Safety net for a safer drive

Detects critical situations at an early stage, and takes action to stop skidding and help bring your car safely back under control.

4MOTION with Performance Torque Vectoring

4MOTION with Performance Torque Vectoring

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 with DCC

Setup at your fingertips

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 optimises 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. 

R Upgrades

Performance upgrades

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.
