Experience raw capability and engineered precision in the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R. Its newly refined 2.0-liter turbocharged engine churns out an impressive 328 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That force is expertly delivered via a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission to the road through Volkswagen's advanced 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring.

Add in the optional Performance Package to unlock a top speed of 167 mph—the highest of any production Golf to date. Enhanced cornering, stability, and driver control come courtesy of a dynamic chassis setup and rear torque-vectoring differential. Craving a richer soundtrack to match the power?
