Most Wanted: Volkswagen Golf R
carwow 2021 Car of the Year Awards
Going by the amount of traffic it gets to our news pages, the forthcoming Volkswagen Golf R is going to fly out of showrooms. It is a 320hp German pocket rocket that will do 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, helped by its standard four-wheel-drive system. In a very un-Volkswagen-ey, move it even has a ‘Drift’ mode.

Performance
320BHP TSI 4Motion
The Star Performer Of Its Generation
Going from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph, the TSI engine develops 420 Newton metres of torque and an output of 320 PS which demonstrates what R is capable of. Its power is distributed with variable control thanks to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system with R-Performance torque vectoring on the rear axle.
Specially tailored for the Nordschleife track at Nürburgring, the Golf R with the optional R Performance package lifts the electronic limiter to the top speed, taking it from 155 mph to 167 mph, and also offers two exclusive driving profiles: the Nürburgring profile “Special” and the “Drift” profile for optimum driving dynamics for private roads.
Exterior - Shaped For Performance
The design of the new Golf R: striking and full of expression. Starting with the brand new front bumper with its front spoiler, side wings and R-style air intake grilles above the exclusive side aprons and 18-inch Jerez alloy wheels, and stretching all the way through to the running gear, which has been lowered by 20 millimetres – the hallmark of an athlete. The R Performance package comes with optional highlights including a rear spoiler featuring a motorsport-style design and the 19-inch Estoril alloy wheels. For an even more superior look, there is the new rear bumper flanked by four chrome-plated twin tailpipes.
Interior - Welcome To The Cockpit
The interior of the new Golf R welcomes you with a level of sporty comfort that you can both see and feel. The driver and front passenger sit back on premium sport seats with built-in head restraints with an R-style design. For the first time, the configurable Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster brings together all sporty displays and controls into one special R-view tailored specifically to the Golf R. Another standard feature: the Discover Media Infotainment system including voice control. And thanks to the specially designed multifunction sports steering wheel plus R button, the Race profile is always just the touch of a button away.
The Highlight In Your Golf R: IQ.LIGHT
The Golf R is fitted with IQ.LIGHTs as standard including powerful LED matrix headlights fitted with “Dynamic Light Assist” main-beam control light up the road and that stretch all the way round to the side wings, while sleek LED tail light clusters dominate at the rear. The package also includes innovative dynamic turn signals that use an animated strip of lights to show which way you are turning. The Golf. Connected To The World

Amazon Elexa
Amazon Alexa1 is now on board your Volkswagen, too. This means that you can use Alexa in exactly the same way you do at home. As such, Alexa can still help you to schedule appointments or draw up a shopping list while you are out and about. Can't get that one song out of your head? Then just ask Alexa to play the title over Amazon Music. Simply download Alexa as a free in-car app via the shop in your Golf.
1. Amazon, Alexa and all associated logos and motion marks are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its subsidiaries.

You will be responsible for any data connection costs. The Alexa in-car app is only available/usable in vehicles with the country-specific equipment for United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and France. Your Volkswagen dealership can tell you whether your vehicle meets this requirement. The aforementioned countries are currently the only countries supported by the Alexa in-car app as Amazon Alexa is only available for these countries.
Infotainment And Entertainment For Every Occasion
Wireless App-Connect
The App-Connect function is a convenient way to use apps and content.1 Music, messages, maps or audio books are transferred to the Infotainment system display, enabling you to use them in your direct line of vision. Three interfaces can be used to connect your smartphone: Apple CarPlayTM, Android AutoTM by Google and MirrorLink®. Particularly handy: use of Apple CarPlayTM with the wireless connection option for the “Discover Media” and “Discover Pro” navigation systems.
Disclaimer

Keep Your Hands On The Wheel. And Leave Your Charging Cable At Home
Wireless Charging
Climb in, place your smartphone on the inductive charging station, and more than just its battery will start recharging – you’ll also be connected to your Golf without any wires.
Thanks to the built-in “Comfort” hands-free feature, you can then call friends, family or business partners – comfortably, conveniently and for as long as you like.
Driver Safety
Volkswagen driver assistance safety technology keeping you safe and sound.
It Can See What Could Be Over The Horizon
Car2X
The standard hazard warning function lends a hand with useful information, including warnings about construction work or rescue vehicles. Car2X technology uses WiFi to communicate (pWLAN).
The ACC adaptive cruise control with Car2X technology supports you with a range of handy information and can actively intervene in the event of an emergency (within the limits of the system). Like at the end of a traffic jam, for instance. With permanent data exchange via WiFi (pWLAN)*.
* There must be other vehicles capable of communicating via WLANp within range.
Keeps You On Track. And Other Road Users At A Distance
Travel Assist
The “Travel Assist” provides you with an extremely useful driving assistant in your vehicle. After all, at the press of a button it delivers a high level of driving comfort* by supporting you in monotonous and tiring driving situations:
- Particularly on motorways and busy highways, “Travel Assist” is able to keep you in lane and at a certain speed, at the same time as monitoring the distance from the traffic in front.
- When combined with the dual clutch gearbox (DSG), you can relax in stop-and-go traffic.
* Within the limits of the system. The driver must be prepared at all times to override the assist system and is in no way released from their responsibility to drive the vehicle with caution
Keeps It's Distance. And Sticks To Speed Limits
Predictive cruise control
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps you to maintain a set maximum speed* as well as the distance to the vehicle ahead. In conjunction with the navigation system, the ACC has been expanded to include predictive cruise control and cornering assist. This helps you to avoid breaking the speed limit because it is able to adopt official speed limits.** What’s more, the system uses journey data from the navigation system to adapt the vehicle’s speed to corners, junctions (turns) and roundabouts.**
* Up to 130 mph.
** Within the limits of the system.
Very Illuminating: Pleasant Colours For A More Relaxed Journey
Background Lighting
Immerse the interior of your Golf R in your favourite colour. Background lighting uses indirect lighting to create a pleasant atmosphere:
- 30 different colours
- The dash panel, centre console and also the front and rear doors are equipped with a light edge
- The selected colour is transferred to the digital displays
Awaiting Your Command: Voice Control
Voice control

Your Golf R will understand you even better with the online voice control function from We Connect Plus: this function has a better understanding of natural speech and is even more intuitive.
Outside: Fast-Paced Inside: Chilled Out
Interior
All of the components inside the R are carefully tailored to one another to give the vehicle its distinctively sporty look. This starts with the stainless steel pedals and extends to the decorative trims and hallmark stitching all the way to the black headliner. The LED background lighting adds accents of light in all the right places. And you’ll also notice straight away that the digital future has arrived in the cockpit. These features are dominated by high-resolution displays and the majority of functions, like the radio, air conditioning system and lighting, can be operated using touch-sensitive surfaces and sliders. Let’s touch.
Powerful. Sporty. Well Trained
Engine
With its 2.0 l TSI engine, the compact sports car delivers an impressive 320bhp.This amount of power is not just fun on straight roads like motorways, but on windy country roads, too. Here, you’ll also receive a helping hand from the front differential lock, which stabilises your Golf R if it slips and helps you to keep control in the process. Wherever you are heading, you can make the most of this powerful engine.
No More Gear Changes, But No Less Fun
DSG - Dual Clutch Gearbox
Climb in and hit the gas: the DSG dual clutch gearbox with its brand new smaller selector lever guarantees fun behind the wheel without any interruptions. That’s because you can change seamlessly between the gears and even reduce your fuel consumption. Pressing on the selector lever enables you to easily select your chosen driving mode, which is then activated via the electrically connected shift-by-wire gearbox. Particularly handy in a traffic jam: When combined with the Travel Assist feature, the system can help you to pull away and brake.
