There's an indescribable feeling that comes with driving the Golf R Wagon. Race-bred for excitement, it offers the perfect blend of sportiness, flexibility and downright driver fun. Add in innovative technologies, luxurious appointments and abundant boot space and the Golf R Wagon becomes the heart-stirring performance car you just have to experience.
Dynamic performance you just have to feel
There can be no denying the stunning performance abilities of the Golf R Wagon, particularly when R Performance 'Race' and 'Drift' driving profile modes are selected for supreme traction or spectacular drifting action.
Find out what flexibility and space means
The Golf R Wagon's generous 1642 litres of boot space can accommodate even demanding loads, making it the ideal wagon for everyday use.
Premium design features to savour
With its broad stance, aerodynamic contours and premium R design features, the Golf R Wagon looks set to tear up the road. Sporty styling never looked this good.
Functionality and gorgeous design are a perfect match in the Golf R Wagon. Can words do it justice?
Let thrill course through you
The Golf R Wagon's 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine is the most powerful ever put in a Golf. An impressive 235kW of power and 420Nm of torque can launch the Golf R Wagon from 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
Power through corners
All-wheel-drive 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring makes the Golf R Wagon feel like its driving on rails. High-speed cornering speeds are made possible by distributing engine output not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels for electrifying grip and stability.
Hold nothing back with exclusive driving profiles
Six available driving profiles provide you with ultimate control of the Golf R Wagon's ride and handling characteristics. Your senses will come alive when you press the 'R' logo on the steering wheel to activate 'Race' mode. Take exhilaration to the next level when you choose exclusive R Performance 'Drift' and 'Special' modes. 'Drift' modifies the vehicle for pulsating drifting capability away from public roads and 'Special' tunes it for racing conditions such as on the Nürburgring‐Nordschleife.
Nothing is more important than ensuring you and your passengers arrive at your destination safely. It's why Volkswagen includes an extensive suite of driver assistance and safety features in every Golf R.4
Powerful design, premium look
The Golf R Wagon's design is at once assertive, powerful and alluringly sophisticated. With its lowered stance, large lower intake and body-coloured side sills, the Golf R Wagon has been designed to make the ultimate design impact. Enticing styling is taken to the next level with a four-chamber chrome-plated exhaust system that is the perfect complement to the Golf R Wagon's chrome roof rails.
Supreme comfort? It's an R thing.
Buckets seats with perforated Nappa leather3 and embossed R logo provide all the support you need during hard cornering, while the multifunction sports steering wheel with blue decorative seams and large gearshift paddles offer immersive feedback and precision control.
Racing wheels and brakes
Lightweight 19" Estoril alloy wheels feature an aerodynamic design to spirit the Golf R Wagon down any road, while blue performance brake callipers offer ferocious braking response.
Enjoy panoramic views
Reveal the world around you and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin when you open up the Golf R Wagon's panoramic electric glass sunroof.

Don’t question it, just enjoy it
Driving is so much more fun when you’re playing your favourite music through the Golf R Wagon's optional Harman Kardon premium audio system with eight speakers and powerful 480w amplifier. Four pre-configured sound settings â€Â Pure, Chill Out, Live and Energy - mean you can adapt your listening experience any way you want.
Information right before your eyes
Project essential vehicle information such as speed and navigation assistance onto the inside of the windscreen with the Golf R Wagon's clever and easy-to-use Head-up Display.
Boost visibility with IQ.LIGHT headlights
Driving at night or in low-light conditions demands that you maintain optimal vision of the road ahead of you. The Golf R Wagon’s IQ.LIGHT Matrix LED headlights with Dynamic Light Assist and dynamic indicators take headlight performance to the next level by casting brilliant light in front of the Golf R Wagon. For that extra-special 'R' welcome, wing mirrors also project an R-logo symbol onto the ground below.
The new 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. And Front Assist is invaluable in cases where emergency action must be taken to prevent a collision.4
Ready for stress-free parking?
Take the stress out of reverse parking and avoid nasty bumps and scrapes with semi-autonomous parking technology that can help you steer into even the most challenging of parking spaces.4
Protection when you need it most
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. When a potential incident is detected, the system automatically tightens the front seat belts and closes the side windows (leaving a small crack) and sliding roof (if open) to better protect vehicle occupants.4
