1 Real-world pace: power you can use
The 2025 Golf R turns up the wick to 328 horsepower and 295 lb-ft, paired with a lightning-quick 7-speed DSG®. Translation: instant response in town and relentless pull on the highway--without sacrificing the everyday composure that made the R a legend.
2 Alberta-proof traction and control
Standard 4MOTION® all-wheel drive with a rear axle torque-vectoring differential actively sends power where it's needed. Add Dynamic Chassis Control (adaptive damping) and Drive Profile Selection, and you get grip, balance, and confidence-- from Henday on-ramps to twisty mountain pavement.
3 Tech that elevates every drive
A crisp 12.9" infotainment display, Digital Cockpit Pro, available Head-Up Display, and available harman/kardon® audio create a cockpit that's equal parts focused and premium. Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto™ and wireless device charging keep it clutter-free.
4 Quiet confidence, loud performance
The R's design is a masterclass in understatement: new front and rear styling, functional aero, and available 19" Warmenau wheels. Prefer a darker vibe? Check out the Black Edition with black forged wheels and trim. For maximum theatre, the available Akrapovič exhaust (where equipped) delivers an unmistakable note.
5 Daily-driver friendly safety & support
Standard IQ.DRIVE driver assistance helps reduce the load in traffic and on road trips with features like Front Assist (Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian/cyclist monitoring), Side Assist, Park Distance Control with Park Assist, Travel Assist, Light Assist, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and more.†
Backed by a 4-year / 80,000 km new-vehicle limited warranty for added peace of mind.
Understated outside, all business inside
Integrated sport seats with available cloth or carbon-accented trims, a thick-rim steering wheel, ambient lighting, and intuitive controls make the R just as special Monday to Friday as it is on your Sunday back-roads loop.
