Exterior

Volkswagen R GmbH, Volkswagen’s motorsports division, has developed numerous unique exterior elements for the flagship Golf R.

The 2019 Golf R features a bumper design with large air inlets and a modified radiator grille that sports an “R” logo. The LED headlights feature LED daytime running lamps with a sharp visual signature unique to the Golf lineup, and the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) turns the beams with the car’s steering inputs, helping to bolster visibility.

From the side, the Golf R is characterized by 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 225/40 or 235/35 summer performance tires, black brake calipers with the “R” logo, body-color unique side skirts, “R” badges on the front fenders, and black painted door mirror caps.

At the rear, details that define the Golf R include LED taillights, an “R” design diffuser, four chrome tailpipes, and an “R” logo on the hatch.

Interior

The most powerful Golf is equipped with front sport seats with 12-way power adjustment for the driver and leather seating surfaces with “R” logo embroidering. A flat-bottom, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel integrates a chrome “R” logo on its lower cross bar, along with contrast stitching. The decorative inlays of the dashboard and door trim panels feature the “Carbon Touch” design; the doorsill kickplates, pedals, and foot support are designed with a stainless-steel look.

Additional standard features include: KESSY® keyless access with push-button start, Climatronic® automatic dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and ambient lighting integrated in the door trim panels.

Behind the steering wheel of every 2019 Golf R sits the fully digital and interactive Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. With this system, all instruments are virtually implemented on the high-resolution 12.3-inch color screen. There are different information profiles which change the type of information displayed and the graphics in certain areas. Information can be integrated on driving, navigation and performance, or data from the entertainment system.
