The 2025 Volkswagen Golf R is a thrilling hot hatch. Sporting an all-new engine, it’s an even hotter hatch than its Golf GTI sibling. Let’s delve into the exciting features that you can expect in the updated Golf R.
Enhanced Performance
The 2025 Golf R has a boost of 13 hp and 15 lb-ft of torque over its predecessor. That’s thanks to its turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, rated at 328 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. There is no longer a manual transmission option; instead, the engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Golf R can hit 60 mph in only 4.6 seconds and with the optional Performance Pack, can reach a top speed of 167 mph. That makes it the world’s fastest Volkswagen alongside the European Arteon R model. The Golf R comes standard in all-wheel drive, and has an adaptive suspension and torque-vectoring rear differential that provide smooth and responsive handling.
Poised Exterior
The Golf R has experienced several design upgrades this year, including new headlights and taillights. A unique lower grille, front bumper, and front intakes make this hot hatch stand out from the rest, as do blue brake calipers and large exhaust tips. The Black Edition trim features distinctive black accents, including darkened badges, logos, brake calipers, and wheels.
Practical Interior
The standard four-door, five-seat cabin has been a part of the winning Golf formula for over 50 years. Premium sport seats with black-blue color patterns and R logos provide both comfort and style. The seats are complimented by the blue-accented leather steering wheel that is full of convenient buttons and large paddles to easily access many of the vehicle’s features.
R-specific specific features can be found throughout the cabin, including unique floor mats, door side trims, and stainless-steel pedal caps. Plenty of luxury is available to elevate your comfort, including heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a power sunroof.
Updated Technology
The infotainment touchscreen has been significantly improved upon, now featuring a larger 12.9-inch display and an updated menu structure with user-defined widgets and a static lower control bar that provides easy access to commonly used features. A 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster includes an available Head-Up Display that projects essential information onto the windshield.
The Golf R has more standard safety features than its predecessor, including standard adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane-departure warning. When on the track, a new GPS lap timer allows you to set waypoints and compare your lap times over specific sections.
