A hot novelty: The Volkswagen Golf R, which will be released in 2025, has been made powerful and stylish

The all-new 2025 Volkswagen Golf R attracts attention with its advanced power and modern design, which add to its appeal among sports cars. This hot hatch delivers 328 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful models in the Golf series.

In addition, the 2025 model receives a new Black Edition package with a focus on style that complements its sporty spirit. Expanded functionality and modern design elements make it particularly attractive to buyers, writes Motor1.com.

Increased power

One of the main features of the new Golf R is the increase in engine power. With 328 horsepower provided by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the model has 13 more horsepower than its previous version. Standard all-wheel drive and a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission complement this performance, guaranteeing a high level of handling and dynamics.

Aggressive look with updated design

The 2025 Golf R has received significant exterior updates that give it a more aggressive look. Changes include a new front bumper and updated headlights, as well as an illuminated light bar with the VW logo on the front. The new Black Edition package adds stylish blacked-out elements such as black wheels, brake calipers and decorative carbon fiber inserts.

Euro Style for extra comfort

For those who like comfort, VW offers the Euro Style package, which includes a sunroof, lightweight 19-inch forged alloy wheels and an Akrapovic exhaust system. With this package, the Golf R is even lighter and more comfortable, while maintaining its sporty styling. The wheels reduce the overall weight by 20% compared to previous models, which further improves the car's handling.

Modern technology in the interior

Inside, the 2025 Golf R is equipped with a new 12.9-inch touchscreen with a VW interface that was borrowed from the ID.Buzz model. The interface is fast and easy to use, which increases driver comfort and makes operating functions simple and intuitive. Unfortunately, unlike the GTI, this model did not receive an updated steering wheel with hard buttons.

GTI with its own characteristics

The new GTI retains the 241 horsepower output from the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. As with the Golf R, the GTI is also equipped with a seven-speed DSG transmission that provides quicker gear changes. However, both models are no longer offered with a manual transmission.

Advanced safety features

The 2025 GTI and Golf R models feature Volkswagen's IQ.Drive active safety system, which includes adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and lane keeping assist. In addition, the Golf R has a parking assist function that makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

Price expectations and market entry

Volkswagen has not yet announced the official prices for the new 2025 GTI and Golf R models, but it is expected that the information will become available closer to the launch. The cars should appear on the market in a few months, which is of great interest to fans of the brand and sports cars.
