Performance
Overview
Fast as fast can be.
The Mk8 Golf R is the most powerful new Golf ever sold in the U.S. Better hold on tight. Oh, it also has customizable 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive, so, you can adjust it to your driving needs (and wants). This high-performance hatch gives new meaning to the word “joyride”.
Driving
What a rush.
When it comes to the Golf R, you won’t be driving just any car. You’ll be driving the pinnacle of Volkswagen performance in speed and precision. The engine is R-tuned for high-performance driving. And its customizable response and handling make any drive nothing short of thrilling.
Handling
Track star. Or road star? Can’t it be both?
Like the best part of an action movie, let’s cut to the chase - the Golf R really knows how to handle the road. We designed it to deliver exceptional precision and control. Plus, there’s even a variety of driving modes to choose from. So now you’re ready to hit the track. Or whatever kind of road is your scene.
4MOTIONS
Curve your enthusiasm.
The curvier the road, the better. At least we think so. The R-performance 4MOTION all-wheel-drive in the Golf R is engineered with a torque vectoring system that makes powering through curves a breeze.
Digital Driving Tools
Plot twist - we’re giving you the reins.
That’s right. You get to be in control when driving the Golf R. The digital driving tools give you the freedom to tailor the performance to your liking. So, when you’re heading down your favorite winding road, you can easily drop it into your favorite custom setting. That kind of makes you a twist whisperer. Or something like that.
Design
Overview
They say it’s rude to stare. We think it’s rude not to.
Let’s take a moment to admire the design of the Golf R. Ok, maybe more than a moment. The unique front bumper, paired with side skirts and a rear diffuser, really screams sporty sophistication. Don’t you think? It also maximizes aerodynamics. And we can’t ignore the interior, which carries on the athletic look, and is full of high-quality materials. Quite fitting for this high-performance hatch.
Exterior
It’s kind of a beauty meets beast scenario?
It’s pretty obvious that the Golf R has a sleek, aggressive appearance. But it still plays well with others. Even when it outclasses them.
Interior
We got in touch with our inner athlete.
All your thrilling adventures are experienced inside the Golf R. That’s why we knew we had to make it comfortable. And functional. The design is rather sporty and sophisticated too.

Safety
Overview
We can’t predict. But we can engineer.
Safety is a core value to us. And while we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it.
Rear View Camera System
Stay focused.
Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you want it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Safety Cage
We’re rigid about safety.
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)
Intelligent by design.
In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights. It helps react if you might not be able to.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
We think ahead.
Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Safety. Engineered from the ground up.
Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so you know when to add air.
Six stability-enhancing systems
Equipped for peace of mind.
From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing systems.
