Get in-depth info on the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
With the reveal of the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport last week, there's just one more step to ascend on the Golf ladder, the one labeled"Golf R." The Wolfsburg brand teased the flagship trim during the annual ice races at Zell am See at the beginning of the year. As the launch nears, we're getting video of the hatchback and the wagon body style that will join it in"near production study" form. Naturally, our market should only expect the hatch.
As for looks, compared to the current Golf R, the coming front fascia is less ornate, more mature. The hexagonal mesh and the fog lights found on the GTI are replaced here by a single line through the lower intake and angled strakes that frame a radar unit. Further back, blue brake calipers replace the red units on the GTI, there's a plump wing atop the hatchback, and quad pipes poking out from the rear diffuser.
The outgoing Golf R starts at $46,890 after the $1,225 destination charge, exactly $1,000 more than the 2024 Honda Civic Type R that makes 315 hp and 310 lb-ft and only comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. The rivalry between the two is about more than MSRP and output, but we'll be looking closely at those columns when the new R appears.
