Behind the Wheel of the VW Golf R

Performance

This all-wheel drive hatchback is powered by a punchy 2.0L inline-four engine capable of producing up to 288 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque. While this powertrain comes paired with a responsive 6-speed manual transmission, the available 7-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic and Sport mode offers a much peppier ride.

The new Golf R’s strengthened chassis, a firm suspension, and standard adaptive dampers deliver a consistently smooth and precise drive. To fully cement its dedication to providing unmatched handling, Volkswagen combines these features with responsive brakes and standard electronically-assisted power steering.

Design

Whether you’re inside of the new Golf or watching it zoom past you, one thing is clear: Every element of this car’s design is purposeful. The 2019 Golf R’s stunning LED headlights illuminate the road ahead while its dual exhaust with quad-tips make a statement to everyone behind you. The entire exterior is wrapped in gentle but distinct contours, giving the car a determined and assertive look. This is accented by the 19” two-toned machined alloy wheels, which help the Golf R stand tall with sporty confidence.

The interior of the Golf R is handsome and functional, with high-quality materials found throughout its spacious cabin. Whether you’re in the driver’s seat or riding shotgun, you and your passengers will be pleased with the ergonomic and stylish, bucket-style front seats. A 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and dual-zone climate control are also standard.

Safety

The 2019 VW Golf R comes with an impressive range of available driver-assistance and safety features, including Forward-Collision Warning with Automatic Braking, Lane-Departure Warning with Lane-Keeping Assist, and a Blind-Spot Monitor with Rear-Cross Traffic alert.
