It’s an R thing
For 20 years, the Volkswagen Golf R has been an icon across the world and right here in NZ, with a fanatical and passionate fan base. And now it's back in its fifth generation. There are pockets of Aotearoa that simply cannot get enough of the quintessential ‘growl’ of the R engine, as it explores its way up and down the country. From past and current Golf R model owners, to the upcoming new breed of customers awaiting their first taste of this small car, there is one thing in common: it’s an R thing.

It’s a ‘rush to the heart’ thing

Driving Dynamics
A truly dynamic driving experience
Through numerous generations, our Golf performance models have always been synonymous with the endearing term of ‘hot hatch.’ Now, with the introduction of the fifth generation Golf R, we set a new benchmark.
Handle every road like a racetrack with a new first from Volkswagen; 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring. This all-wheel-drive technology distributes drive not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels. Delivering up to 100% of the possible torque to the wheel on the outside of the bend, it enables an exhilarating drive with maximum grip and stability.
Design
Master of its class
Ever had the feeling of being one with your vehicle – where the driver and car fit together like a glove? Experience perfect driving harmony with R sports bucket seats, sports steering wheel and innovative driver aids that work together to put you in complete control.
Jaw-droppingly attractive
The Golf R’s sleek design and powerful presence convey a vehicle that is the epitome of sporting performance. With its lowered stance, large front intake and body-coloured side sills, the Golf R is the quintessential head-turner. The 1st Edition Package ups the ante further with its large roof spoiler and aggressive-looking rear diffuser with four chrome-plated tailpipes.
