2024 Volkswagen Golf R: Buckle Up for Fun!
The 2024 Volkswagen Golf R is a blend of power and cutting-edge technology. While the style may have evolved from classic Volkswagen models, the same sporty and fun ethos is still on full display when you’re behind the wheel. There is plenty of comfort and style in the mix as well so schedule a test drive with Casey Volkswagen today.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Pop the hood on the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R and you’ll find a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine generating 315 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, or 280 lb-ft with the six-speed manual transmission. That’s enough power to get this compact car from zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds.
The DCT-equipped Volkswagen Golf R has another welcome trick up its sleeve besides its higher output. It achieves EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Opting for the manual transmission slightly reduces fuel efficiency to 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
Comfort, Connectivity, and Safety
In terms of interior, comfort, and cargo, the Volkswagen Golf R presents a sporty aesthetic with a thick-rimmed steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls that operate a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster with customizable layouts. The compact car has bolstered front seats wrapped in Nappa leather with blue and carbon-look accents on the side sections, along with a blue “R” logo in the backrest. Interior amenities include 30-color ambient lighting, stainless-steel pedals, and additional carbon-look trim on the dashboard. It also impresses with ample cargo space and a comfortable back seat.
The infotainment system in this new Volkswagen car is centered around a 10.0-inch touchscreen on the dashboard. It’s easy to enjoy the nine-speaker Harman/Kardon® premium audio system while you retrieve your favorite content through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. There’s even a Wi-Fi® hotspot for enhanced connectivity.

The focus on technology extends to your safety. Among the driver-assist features ensuring your peace of mind, you will find:
- Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
- Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
