- 2023 Volkswagen Golf R wagon 0-100km/h & engine sound, with and without launch control. Includes 1/4 mile and 0-200. Head over to performancedrive.com.au/2023-... four our full review.
2023 Volkswagen Golf R wagon
2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder
235kW (320PS) and 420Nm
Seven-speed dual-clutch auto, all-wheel drive
The latest Mk8 Golf R is available in five-door hatch and wagon format, however, there is currently a pause on new orders in Australia due to production-related delays. Both are powered by the latest tune of VW’s famous 2.0-litre EA888-based turbo four-cylinder engine, developing 235kW and an impressive 420Nm.
If you’re not a fan of hatchbacks or wagons, Volkswagen Australia also offers the Tiguan R which is basically identical, albeit 139kg heavier. The extra weight influences an increase in the official 0-100km/h time from 4.9 seconds in this to 5.1 in the Tiguan R.
Interestingly, the Golf R Wagon is priced from $69,990 and the Tiguan R is priced just $500 north, from $70,490 (both excluding on-road costs). We can see the Tiguan R being more popular as it does fit the fashionable SUV mould. For us though, the Golf R Wagon is the one that has our hearts beating with fondness...

Exciting stuff starts at 3:10
0 to 100 in 4.9 seconds in a 2L 4Cyl wagon that also uses half the fuel of a V8 commodore. I never thought Id see the day.
Half the fuel ? Where did you pull that real world figure from champ ?
@@14miragecourt i had a 2010 ve ss 6L v8 commodore which averaged 14L per 100 km and thats driving it as economically as I could. I know for a fact that many new smaller cars that are faster use about 8L per 100km or even less. Thats where I found my real world figure champ. By owning one
I think you know there were fuel improvements with the later vf model. Real world golf r is more like 10l/100km.
This is honestly such a perfect car. The price to performance and amenities/comfort is quite good. It's a daily, a family car and a toy packaged in one. It's a surprisingly grown up car.
Does that have sound fed in through the speakers? Seems to sound WAY more sporty inside than out.
Nice review. 0:25 I found VAG products generally less appeared in the channel. Is there any specific reason?
Wish there was a warm Golf that sat below the GTI. Something with 140-150kw like a Mazda G25 or Cerato GT but still in comfy everyday spec. The 110kw engine on the R Line doesn’t cut it - the 140TSI from other VW Group cars would suit it better.
Good stuff!! 👍
Would love to get your take on the Tiguan R
Yes. I love mine.
Very nice. I'm hoping you get the Grid Edition T Roc R. Seems like a great bang for buck small SUV and is on my shopping list.
We’ll see what we can do. We recently tested the 140TSI variant - video coming soon.
Such a awesome car for the money 💰
I have a 2016 golf r hatch and i have it tuned stage 2 around 240kws
I can do 0-100 in 3.84
And qtr mile in mid 11s
And it handles like my old superkart .
Faster than a45s omg
Now with a VW back on the channel, hopefully we can see a Cupra on here soon.
Yeah excited for Cupras!
Yes, some Cupra models are coming up soon 👍
@@PDriveTV nice!! Also can you do 2021 bmw 5 series please?
Can sum up the Cupras, having two of them.
Ateca - Look nice, cheap interior parts, stick to the ground well, limit on factory tires around a roundabout is 83, 0-100 is about 5.2 with two big dudes in it, draggy verified, sound system is shit, exhaust is...well it's a modern day exhaust in a 4 cyl. 😫 But pops twice when you lift off over about 3500 RPM, Rear seat room is surprisingly good, same goes for boot space, AC struggles, seats comfy, Cupra button is awesome! Easy to launch it, unlike our Arteon for example that's got its launch burried in sub menus.
Leon VZX - Wheel spin for days, also holds on like it's on rails, interior slightly more premium feeling, same shit sound system, same sounds from exhaust, to me at least, a lot of other VAG interior issues like bad back lighting for AC controls, boots good for a hatch, haven't found it's limit round a roundabout and it's 0-100 varies from 5.5 - 6.5 seconds.
Keen to try Formentor. So far only sat in one when we got our other Cupras. But the vzx launches better with less wheel spin from what I've seen, has a small interior space than the Ateca, smaller boot, but interior is exactly like the Leon. Magazines I've read show 0-100 as low as 4.5.
Keen for these guys to do some videos though, see their thoughts.
nice car
Sweet wagon with bitter price tag
I wish we got this in North America😢
We got manuals. I'm ok with that compromise.
@@spriggsvid we don’t get the wagon tho
in other tests this car has done a 12.6 1/4? maybe the temps made the time slower?
Certainly. Temps can make a big difference 👍
Couldn’t justify the price of a “performance car” being almost $70k and the KW output being in the 200s
probs poor
I gotta admit though, bmw does make better looking wagons. But yes, a brilliant practical machine the golf r wagon is!
70k...😮
36psi of boost? that's a lot, I wonder how the long term durability of the engine will be.
It’s a golf so likely as soon as it’s out of warranty if that lmao
@@jeffaustin8112 proper maintenance and it’ll last a while
cool
6:15 sounds like a 6 cylinder
Can't get used to these weird tacho designs, I would hope there are other set-up options to vary the instrument layout?
4:24
bought one brand new 2019 for $58000 Lol
review the arteon next..
Is a nice car. 😂 Soooo much legroom. 🤣
Your not a fan, no please ?
@@perpetualgrin5804 not a fan of what?
Charge pressure 36psi, really?
Absolute pressure. Gauge pressure 21.5 psi
Overpriced
lol. Why bother? My stage 1 mk 7.5 does it in 4.1 sec
Dreadfully overpriced
First :)
fa 'le don't have no youtube cars ha ha hahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahaahhaahahahaha😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You will either have poor feul economy flooring it all the time or end up with flashing lights in your rear view mirror
And flashing lights in the dash, its a VW. Lol.
@@perpetualgrin5804 🤣
