2022 Mark 8 Golf R
Introducing the fastest, fiercest Volkswagen yet.
More Power:
Horsepower has increased to 315 (from 288). Torque now stands at 310 lb-ft (up from 280)
Sport, Comfort, Race and Individual Driving Programs:
The R always starts in Sport mode, and there’s an Individual mode for your custom settings. The programs alter throttle response, steering feel, stability control, the standard adaptive damping, RWD unit and, if so equipped, the DSG transmission’s shift maps.
Drift Mode & Special (Nurburgring) Modes:
"Simply turn the R into a Weapon." In both Race modes, when Manual shifting is selected, the DSG won’t upshift until it gets a command from the right shift paddle. "This is the biggest step forward with respect to performance we’ve ever made in the history of the Golf R,” Karsten Schebsdat, head of driving dynamics.
Fully Digital Interior:
An R-specific Digital Cockpit and standard Head-Up Display are key. The 10-inch central infotainment touchscreen is connected to the digital driver's display featuring R graphics. Scroll through performance pages for boost pressure, gearbox temperature, AWD torque distribution, and engine output.
Sunroof:
For the first time in Canada, a large "rail-to-rail" sunroof will be an available option.
