Expertly-crafted for Thrill-boosting Drives

Volkswagen’s fun-to-drive luxury small car is a vehicle you can depend on not to let you down in terms of comfort and performance. Having been completely redesigned for the 2022 model year, the compact sports car returns relatively unchanged for 2023. However, the lineup gets a 20th Anniversary Edition model designed to commemorate 20 years of high-performance Golf models.

As you’d expect, the anniversary package has a unique design that includes 20th-anniversary badging, blue “R” logos inside and out, gloss black 19-inch wheels with summer tires, and carbon fiber interior trim. Available paint options include Lapiz Blue, Deep Black, and Pure White.

Stellar Performance

Under the hood, the 2023 Golf R has a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that generates 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. As usual, you get all-wheel drive with rear-axle torque vectoring. The Golf R also comes with numerous selectable drive modes, including Comfort, Sport, Race, Special, Drift, and Individual, which can be activated by pressing an “R” button on the steering wheel.

Other performance features include variable-ratio steering, a sport exhaust system, and large front disc brakes. From a standstill, Golf R models with the seven-speed automatic transmission rocket to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.

Luxurious Interior

This being a Golf R, you can expect a posh interior with various comfort-enhancing amenities. The five-seater luxury small car comes standard with Nappa leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, front sport seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, stainless-steel pedals, push-button start, panoramic sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, and ambient lighting with 30 colors.

The 20th Anniversary Edition drops the sunroof and adds carbon fiber interior trim. Concerning cargo space, this hot hatch provides 19.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 34.5 cubes when those are folded down. This is among the best in the class.

Outside, the regular Golf R gets 19-inch alloy wheels with performance tires, chrome quad exhaust tips, keyless entry functionality, automatic adaptive LED headlights, as well as Golf R-specific grille, badging, bumpers, side trim, and exterior cladding.

As mentioned, the 20th Anniversary Edition comes with 19-inch wheels with summer tires and can be had with Lapiz Blue, Deep Black, or Pure White paint options.

Extensive List of Safety Amenities

The 2023 Golf R packs a broad array of advanced driver assistance systems, including a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, and forward collision warning.
