New Golf R Specifications

NEW GOLF R.IT’S R-RATED.

The ultimate expression of performance has arrived – with an explosive power

output of 206kW to be precise. Powered by the next generation 2.0-litre TSI

engine, the New Golf R roars from 0 – 100 km/h in an exhilarating 5.0 seconds.

Add to this class-leading safety, the latest 4Motion® all-wheel drive technology

and advanced driver assistance systems, and the legend is not only back, but

reborn and ready to assault your senses – in the best possible way.

HEART of THE BEAST.

TAME THE BEAST.

At the core of this powerhouse beats a next generation turbocharged 4 cylinder

2.0 TSI engine, ready to unleash 206kW of explicit fury. Delivering an earth

shattering maximum torque of 380Nm between 1,800 and 5,500rpm and a top

speed of 250km/h, the New Golf R epitomises untamed exhilaration. Add to that

an explosive 0-100km/h in 5.0 heart-stopping seconds, impressive fuel economy

and CO2 emissions of 169/164 g/km, and the New Golf R not only tears up the

road, but dominates it, unchallenged.

With hardcore performance and thrilling good looks, you need the confidence and peace-of-mind

that you will always be in control on the road. Featuring a host of intuitive driver assist systems,

including Fatigue Assist, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Brake Assist and EDL, the

New Golf R gives you the freedom to enjoy the pinnacle of driving performance, without

compromising on safety. The Multi Collision Brake System with the new generation Anti-lock

Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Anti-Spin Regulator (ASR)

keep you on track no matter how tight the bends you manoeuvre.

EXPLICIT DETAIL.Anticipate the driving pleasure of the New Golf R with an interior that is as appealing

in appearance as it is in comfort. Blue ambient cabin lighting with illuminating

door sill trim hint at its individualistic spirit, while the flat bottomed sports steering

wheel, distinct instrument cluster and unique logo placements make it unmistakably

New Golf R. A 5.8” touchscreen radio with proximity sensor, grey stitching,

“Carbon style” décor trims and optional “Carbon Nappa” leather trim assertively

conclude an expressive interior.

NoT foR SENSITIVE VIEWERS.Sheer visual drama and heart pounding presence that commands respect. Boasting a unique R front grille, a chrome

strip that runs through the grille and headlights, additional air intakes and Bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime

running lights, the New Golf R exudes as much power in appearance as it does when you press down the accelerator.

Accentuated by its two dual chrome exhaust pipes and sinister looking darkened LED taillights, a pronounced rear

spoiler and diffuser concludes in an unmistakably New Golf R rear, while sleek and evocative 19” Cadiz alloy wheels

with black brake callipers complete its assertive stance.

With a raw 206kW ready to be unleashed, innovative features including

5th generation 4Motion® technology and Haldex coupling eliminates

nearly all traction loss, ensuring that you remain in the driver seat.

Optional Adaptive Chassis Control modifies the suspension according

to individual road and driving conditions, while electronic handbrake

with hill hold control keeps you firmly grounded. Add to that a 5.8”

touchscreen infotainment, rear-view camera, panoramic sunroof, optional

iPod adapter and KESSY keyless entry, and your drive just became as

comfortable as it is exhilarating.

*Fuel Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emission FiguresThe figures reflected were obtained in accordance with prescribed uniform measuring standards (SANS 20101: 2006 / ECE R101: 2005 in their currently applicable versions) under laboratory type conditions. The measuring standards are stipulated by law. They do not apply to a specific vehicle and are provided to enable comparison between different vehicle models tested using the same uniform measuring standard. The values are accordingly not necessarily representative of real-life driving conditions. Factors such as driving style, vehicle load, road conditions, tyre size, traffic and ambient conditions may result in different fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission levels to those achieved under the test parameters referred to above. More details are contained in the owner’s manual. Based on lightest variable (no options) and 90% tank filling. Weight may vary depending on options fitted to vehicle.Dimensions, capacities and abilities apply to standard vehicles.
