Reviewed a 2024 Volkswagen Golf R on May 16, 2026
Strong suite of standard features, very powerful, excellent handling, good interior refinement and space. Well priced on the used market and strong resale value. Touch controls are not the best and the infotainment is lackluster. Fantastic all rounder.

Volkswagen Golf R test drive
overall
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.
