December 09 2020 VW Canada
Here is the fastest, fiercest Volkswagen to date: the all-new 2022 Golf R!
The Golf R has always been a little rocket out of the sight of neophytes. Under the hood of the new 5th generation Golf R hides a turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI engine ready to unleash 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
All that power sticks to the pavement with aplomb thanks to an enhanced 4MOTION all-wheel drive, which now includes a new torque vectoring function on the rear axle, ensuring unmatched agility and remarkable balance to negotiate the tightest corners.
Drivers can choose from a classic 6-speed manual gearbox or the lightning-fast 7-speed DSG Dual Clutch Gearbox. The car’s improved Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM) serves as the conductor of the performance orchestra, precisely managing the behaviour of the car’s powertrain, 4MOTION system, steering, Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) adaptive dampers, and more. Two new modes – Special (Nürburgring) and Drift – bring a new level of customization to the experience.
Larger brakes, now with cross-drilled front rotors, ensure ample stopping power. Two new driving modes are available to drivers - Special (Nürburgring) and Special (Drift) - which bring a new level of personalization to the experience behind the wheel. Seasoned eyes will also notice the addition of larger brakes, now with cross-drilled front discs, providing stopping power to slow the beast.
Of course, Golf R remains as well-suited to your daily commute as it does to lapping the legendary Nürburgring Norschleife racing circuit. An R-specific Digital Cockpit and standard Head-Up Display place critical driving information where you need it most.
Sport seats finished in Nappa leather feature prominent bolsters for excellent lateral support, all while offering all-day comfort. Ambient lighting offers a personal touch, in turn highlighting the carbon-look décor trim.
And in a Canadian Golf R first, a large sunroof is now available!
The all-new Golf R is expected to hit our roads at full speed at the end of 2021.
