New Volkswagen Golf R for Sale near Roselle Park, NJ
It may be a hot hatchback, but the VW Golf R never loses its cool.
The 2025 Volkswagen Golf R is the hotter of VW’s two hot hatchbacks, boasting more power than its Golf GTI platform mate, plus a standard all-wheel-drive system (AWD), known as 4Motion, and a commensurately higher base price that puts it in the same competitive set as the Honda Civic Type R and Toyota GR Corolla. The current-generation Golf R was launched as a 2022 model but gains a handful of small updates for 2025, including a new touchscreen infotainment system and two new styling packages.
Verdict: It’s hard to fault the Golf R’s performance capabilities and everyday usability, but the same can be said of its GTI sibling.

What people say
Amazing tech, very comfortable, fun to drive. Last year they will be offering stick shift. 20th anniversary edition has no sunroof which I like. Liked it more than the GR Corolla surprisingly. Coming from a 13 year old GTI.
It’s a thrill to drive in every way. Both outside and inside finish details offer good harmony in style and performance. Plenty of power surprisingly from a 4 cylinder with good torque. You have to drive one to understand. Good job VW!
A wonderful daily drive car for multi roles with fun to drive and relatively good gas mileage.
Does everything right.Great seating, good performance,Great carrying capacity.If youre only owning one car in the snowball,it cant be beat
This car is missing the spare tire that can go over 55 mph and the right typt of rims that does not damage the tires as it go over smallest potholes.
