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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Detects critical situations at an early stage, and takes action to stop skidding
and help bring your car safely back under control.
Inspired by technology and motorsport pedigree
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 clean design with narrow LED headlights and a
leaner front grille. The imposing bumper gives the Golf R more presence and
now sits lower to the ground, for a more responsive and better arodynamic
performance.
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.
The full LED headlights and a striking LED light strip extends across the radiator
grille to create continuous illumination. The headlights also comes with light
assist function (automatic high beam).
LED tinted tail light clusters with dynamic sequential indicator function,
emphasises 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 boasts 235 kW / 320 PS and a torque of 400Nm. The car accelerates from
0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and onto an electronically limited top speed of up
to 250km/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 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.
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 infosystem 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.
Volkswagen's wireless charging allows users to charge a compatible Qi-enabled
smartphone without the use of an additional cable.
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
10 speakers including the subwoofer transforms the sound system into an audio experience that brings to life all the richness, emotion and intensity music can offer. More than just listening to music, you become part of it.
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 sporting yet invitingly comfortable.
The 3-zone 'Climatronic' with Air Care 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 that ensures an impressive and unique feeling of space.
Technology. Combination of superb performance with exemplary efficiency
The modern engine technology in the Golf R is characterised by economy, high torque
and power. It is exactly right for you if you like driving and drive a lot, but
still want to keep your consumption down.
The Golf R's powerplant delivers smooth and punchy 320PS performance for your
driving pleasure. 400Nm of torque comes at a low 2,000rpm for optimum and
immediate engine response.
Our all-wheel drive systems work hard to keep you safe, linking with other active
safety systems on your Volkswagen to constantly monitor driving conditions.
Do you prefer to drive economically or in a sportier style? With the Vehicle
Dynamics Manager, you can adjust the way your car drives to match your personal
driving style and the current road and traffic conditions. This, in combination
with the DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control), you can setup your Golf R just the way you
want it.
The Golf R with its superior aerodynamic styling and engineering offers excellent
combined fuel consumption of 7.8l/100km.
