Driver Assistance with IQ.DRIVE
Drive peace of mind with driver assistance technology that helps enhance safety.
Travel Assist
From steering support to speeding up or slowing down, IQ.DRIVE technology helps keep your mind at ease. Our engineers would tell you it’s because it has hands on semi-automated driving capabilities, but we like to think of it as an added boost of reassurance to help keep you safer on the road.?
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
When the road gets busy, IQ.DRIVE can help keep things cruising. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it uses sensors to detect vehicles ahead of you, helping adjust your speed, and manages the distance between you and what’s in front of you, adapting to the situation you’re in.?
Active Blind Spot Monitor
When you’re focused on the journey ahead, your vehicle’s IQ.DRIVE technologies can help by alerting you when another vehicle may be hiding in your blind spots and helping counter-steer when necessary.?
Rear Traffic Alert
You can’t always see what might be crossing behind you when reversing out of a parking spot or backing out of a driveway. IQ.DRIVE technologies can help monitor what’s behind, alerting you when cars and motorcycles that could cause a collision are detected and helping hit the brakes before it’s too late.?
Front Assist
Even when we’re driving at our best, we still need to keep an eye out to avoid accidents with other cars or pedestrians in front of us. Thankfully, the IQ.DRIVE technology monitors the road ahead with the ability to help brake on its own. It’ll first provide audio and visual alerts when you’re driving at higher speeds and at risk of a potential collision. Then, if necessary, it’ll automatically apply brakes to help mitigate or avoid a collision.?
Lane Assist
No matter what kind of road you’re driving on, if you’re 35 mph or faster, IQ.DRIVE can help keep you from going over the lines. If your vehicle begins to drift without your turn signal on, IQ.DRIVE can warn you and counter steer when activated to help ensure you stay in your lane. ?

Available 19" Wheels
Fire up your handling, speed, and style with 19” machined aluminum-alloy wheels and summer performance tires.?
LED Headlights
Don’t be surprised if it feels like everything’s going your way in the Golf R. LED headlights with Active Cornering Lights enhance corner visibility when making a turn, lighting your way.
Puddle Lighting
Glowing beneath those beautiful matte chrome exterior mirror caps is more than a puddle light. It’s the R insignia, a beacon of performance.
In a position of power
The refined interior of the Golf R pushes the needle into sporty sophistication.
As if the car doesn’t already feel limitless, the Golf R features a power tilting/sliding panoramic sunroof.
Ambient lighting accents the displays, dash, door, and console. The spectrum of 30 configurable colors includes several pre-loaded “moods” and R blue.
Performance
Exhilaration designed to be extra exhilarating
Power and play
For 20 years now, the Golf R has united speed and sophistication for a driving experience unlike anything else. You can mark the anniversary with 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft torque in the available 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission with the R-performance, torque vectoring 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive.
Driving Mode Selection
Enjoy the power to fine-tune and control how your Golf R responds on the road. Driving Mode Selection allows you to choose performance levels from drifting on the track to driving on the Autobahn and so much more.?
Ground controlled
The Golf R handles with the kind of agility and comfort that comes from two decades of road and track experience, giving you maximum control at high speeds?, and the quiet confidence of knowing you can carve and sprint to your heart’s content.
Driving Profiles
Golf R driving profiles “Special” and “Drift” deliver precision and performance. Special can be optimized to the conditions and high-speed demands of racecourse driving, and Drift helps you with control in moments of tire-smoking, sideways action.?
DCC® adaptive chassis control system
The sophisticated DCC® adaptive chassis control system in the Golf R actively and continuously controls the damping force for each individual wheel, reacting to surface situations up to 200 times per second. Simply put, the intelligent Golf R asserts its power every second you drive it.
XDS+ Cross Differential System
The XDS+ Cross Differential System with dynamic traction support helps you grip the road and maintain maximum contact through fast cornering.
Safety
We can’t predict. But we can engineer.
Stay focused.
Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you want it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
We're rigid about safety.
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.
Intelligent by design.
In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags?, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.? It helps react if you might not be able to.
We think ahead.
Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.?
Safety. Engineered from the ground up.
Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so you know when to add air.
Equipped for peace of mind.
From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing systems.
