A Driver’s Guide to the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R

Volkswagen’s Golf R is a compact hatchback featuring unbelievable performance and head-turning style. While it’s made to excel on the track and twisty roads, it serves as an excellent daily driver. Take a look at the 2024 VW Golf R, which is now on sale at your local VW dealer!

Powertrain

As the top-spec version of the Golf, the Golf R gets a substantial increase in power from its turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine—a total of 315 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A standard 6-speed manual transmission is sure to please enthusiasts, but they will also have the option of pairing the motor with an exceedingly quick 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Either way, the car will be able to propel itself from 0 to 60 in under five seconds.

The Golf R’s powertrain remains well suited for everyday driving since it offers an EPA-rated fuel economy of at least 28 MPG highway. Standard 4-Motion all-wheel drive greatly improves traction and cornering performance thanks to its advanced torque vectoring system.

Chassis

A finely tuned suspension consisting of MacPherson front struts, multi-link rear axles, and telescopic dampers enables the Golf R’s impressive agility when navigating through sharp turns. It also has anti-roll bars in the front and rear for greater stability. Variable-ratio steering that makes it easy to change directions at any speed adds to the driving enjoyment.

At a respective 14.1 and 12.2 inches, the power-assisted front and rear disc brakes are sizable and bring the Golf R to a quick stop.

Exterior

The Golf R has a number of exterior differences from the Golf GTI that give it sportier looks to go with its more aggressive capabilities. These include stylish 19-inch machined aluminum-alloy wheels and a unique front bumper featuring sharply angled allowing more air to come in and helping to increase downforce. You’ll find exclusive R badging on the front and rear of the car, as well as on the brake calipers.

Buyers can choose from one of three dramatic paint finishes: Lapiz Blue Metallic, Mythos Black Metallic, and Pure White.

Interior

Despite the Golf R’s racy nature, the car provides an inviting and comfortable riding experience for its passengers. The cabin boasts well-bolstered sport seats with leather upholstery and heating, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and tri-zone climate control. The driver’s seat also comes with 12-way power adjustability to go with its lumbar support.

As for the multimedia system, there’s a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen granting access to smartphone integration, connected navigation, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. A standard 9-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers rich, deep sound.

Why choose between sportiness and practicality when the Golf R lets you have both in one handsome package? Contact Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO today and let us set you up with a test drive!
