  • The Volkswagen Golf R is being updated to align it with changes made to other less powerful versions of the C-segment hatchback. Minor exterior tweaks include new light designs, while inside, there is a new infotainment system.
    Among the exterior changes to the Golf R are new IQ. Light LED matrix headlights and, for the first time, an illuminated VW logo on the nose. The headlights have a sharpened look with straighter lines for a more focused appearance and they can project 15 per cent further than previously according to Volkswagen. A light bar runs along the front of the bonnet and into the tops of the headlights, too.

    The dynamic R wheel caps can also be purchased from VW, $226 CDN here in Canada. I just purchased a 2024 mk 8 (not 8.5), so they weren't included on my car. 😕

    10:22 Front grill looks too exposed or incomplete, metal components can still be spotted. VW should increase the number of louvres to camouflage them.

    The touchscreen in the cabin is hideous, obnoxious and intrusive. At least VW could've given a retractable screen, smfh. R badging on the door looks awkward, opposed to being on the fender. It seems they're just following the trend and cutting costs by slapping a tablet on the dash 🤢 🤮
    Can't wait to see the msrp on the Black Edition once it arrives stateside. Another trendy gimmicky upsell. VW can't even give us 4-pot brembos. 🤦🏻 Also, the new Clubsport isn't too far behind in power. Maybe 35bhp difference?. And to think the Golf 9 is going EV, utter dismal. 🤢 🤮
    I'm sticking with my 7.5R but by the direction VW is going this may be the last one for me. 😑

    Everyone: "Hey we hate the haptic nonsense in the interior of this R"
    VW: "We hear you and are addressing it"
    Also VW: "We didn't address it"
    I'm happy with my 2019 Mk 7.5
    It's got none of this interior nonsense with the idiotic screen, and haptics, and "tongue" shifter.
    I love my R, but if VW doesn't address the interior properly then my time with VW will end with the MK 7.5 (maybe move to an Audi RS3)
