The Car Guide rating 4.0/5 84% Detailed ratings
Price $50,995 – $53,595 Payments
Fuel consumption 7.7 – 10.5 L/100km
Refreshed for 2025, the high-performance Golf R sports a more aggressive front fascia, while the interior receives an updated infotainment system and improved ergonomics. The German hot hatch uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that now generates 328 hp, which is sent to all four wheels. The manual gearbox has been eliminated, leaving only a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Fortunately, the latter is a proven unit and a good match for the engine.
