Set your pulse racing when you press the ‘R’ logo on the steering wheel to activate the ‘Race’ driving profile setting.

The Golf R comes with a range of driver assistance aids designed to make driving as enjoyable as possible. Travel Assist allows for partially automated driving across a range of speeds, from stop/start city driving through to highway speeds.

Every Golf R is packed with safety features designed to prevent an accident happening and mitigate the consequences of an unavoidable collision. Foremost among the clever technology contained in every Golf R is Proactive Occupant Protection.
