The VW Golf R has two decades of road and track experience. That kind of expertise lets you feel in control at high velocities and comfortable at every twist and turn. So, what grueling engine has allowed this Volkswagen to shoot to stardom?

Under the hood of the VW Golf R is a 2.0L turbocharged engine that generates a whopping 315 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Pair this powertrain with standard 4MOTION® AWD (all-wheel drive) with Active Control, and you’ll be carving up curves and sprinting down streets to your heart’s content.

Take command of the VW Golf R with its standard 6-speed manual transmission. If you’re looking for a more fiery experience, the available 7-speed DSG® automatic transmission comes with Tiptronic® and Sport Mode.

The cockpit: where technology and performance fuse together to bring you a premium, new-age experience. The VW Golf R gives you premier access to the future, and it’s completely digitized. For instance, the dashboard of this model features three captivating displays:

• Head-Up Display
• 10.25-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro

The Discover Pro display on the VW Golf R will be your infotainment hub. Use this screen in conjunction with App-Connect® to bring your favorite smartphone apps on the road with you. The standard Head-Up Display projects vital information onto the windshield. The configurable Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro digitizes the instrument cluster and can display real-time performance data like g-force and torque output!
