The 2025 Volkswagen Golf R sets a new standard for sporty hatchbacks. Here’s a detailed look at the two trims available and what each offers for performance, comfort, and style.
Trim Levels of the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R
1. Golf R – Precision Performance
The base Golf R is Volkswagen’s peak-performance hatchback, powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. With 328 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, it delivers a thrilling driving experience, supported by adaptive sport suspension that balances agility and comfort.
Standout Exterior Features
This Golf R impresses with LED headlights featuring dynamic cornering, a sleek illuminated VW badge, and summer performance tires on 19-inch forged alloy wheels. Additional touches like LED taillights and power-folding mirrors with puddle lights add style and practicality.
Premium Cabin Comfort
The Golf R looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside, with leather-lined seats and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. The heated and ventilated sports seats installed at the front are comfortable and extremely supportive, with the driver’s being adjustable in 12 ways. Rear passengers also enjoy the comfort of heated seats, and everyone benefits from the tri-zone climate control that regulates the temperature throughout the cabin.
Drivers view vehicle data on a configurable 10.25-inch instrument panel and can choose to have important information projected onto the windshield via the head-up display. At the center of the infotainment system is a 12.9-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly connect your smartphone and stream tunes through the Harman Kardon sound system. There’s also a wireless charging pad to keep your devices charged while on the road.
2. Golf R Black Edition – Bold and Sporty
The Black Edition builds on the standard Golf R with a more aggressive, sport-inspired design. It features blacked-out grille and headlights, gloss-black wheels, black brake calipers, and quad black exhaust tips. The interior includes carbon fiber accents for a premium sporty feel.
Striking Exterior Enhancements
From the dark grille to the blacked-out accents, the Black Edition stands out on the road. The quad exhaust tips and gloss-black wheels amplify the aggressive appearance without compromising performance.
Driver-Focused Interior
Carbon fiber trim and sport-inspired details elevate the cabin, combining luxury with a race-ready feel. Performance remains the same as the base Golf R, ensuring 328 horsepower and agile handling in a visually bolder package.
Both trims of the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R deliver an exciting blend of performance, technology, and design. Visit Tom Bush Volkswagen in Jacksonville, FL, to see them in person and find the one that matches your style.
