The Volkswagen Golf has a long-established reputation as a fun-to-drive performance hatchback. Its size makes it perfect for city driving while offering plenty of interior space for passengers. The 2025 Volkswagen Golf R, available at Doral Volkswagen in Doral, FL, comes in two great trims that have all the features you could want in a stylish performance car.

Standard 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Features

The base trim on the 2025 Golf R combines modern tech features with refreshed, sleek lines. These make it a great choice for drivers who want a sporty ride with a bunch of bells and whistles. It is powered by a 2.0L TSI turbo 4-cylinder engine that produces 328 horsepower for exhilarating acceleration. That is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and VW’s R-Performance 4MOTION all-wheel drive with Torque Vectoring.

Every 2025 Golf R comes with premium leather seats that are cooled, ventilated, and heated for year-round driving comfort. You’ll also have a full sunroof to enjoy your surroundings. Folding rear seats bring your rear cargo capacity from about 20 cubic feet to over 34 cubic feet. Drivers have the advantage of a 12.9-inch Discover Pro touchscreen display that controls the audio and navigation systems.  

Safety and Innovation

You’ll enjoy wireless device charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot in the new Golf R. This is coupled with app connectivity for compatible devices. The standard IQ DRIVE driver assistance technology on the Golf R includes a host of features that make driving safer and more intuitive, such as:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Active Blind Spot Monitor
  • Emergency Assist
  • Lane Assist
  • Park Assist Plus
  • Travel Assist

The Golf R Black Edition

Drivers who want extra features can opt for the Golf’s upper trim level: the Black Edition. This car makes a statement on the road with black accents throughout. It includes all of the features found in the standard Golf R trim and adds the following:

  • Carbon fiber interior accents
  • Gloss black painted alloy wheels
  • Black R and VW exterior logos 
  • Darkened grill and headlight elements

What’s New for 2025

The Golf R has several new updates for the 2025 model year. Topping the list is the seven-speed automatic transmission. It is accompanied by styling updates such as upgraded 19-inch wheels, a refreshed front bumper, and an illuminated VW logo in the grill. There is also the addition of an optional Euro Style Package, which removes the sunroof and brings back fabric seats. It is available on both Golf R trims.

The refreshed 2025 Golf R is a compact hatchback that offers comfort and performance. Both the base Golf R trim level and the Golf R Black Edition are packed with features that make driving them fun and exciting. Contact Doral Volkswagen in Doral, FL, to see the 2025 Golf R today.
