For the 2025 model year, the Golf R is available in two trims: standard and a new Black Edition, which includes black exterior accents and badging as well as genuine carbon fiber interior trim. The newly available Euro Style Package also adds performance-focused upgrades that were previously unavailable to North American buyers. Offering a weight savings of nearly 80 pounds, the package includes lighter sport seats with ArtVelours covers, sunroof delete, and an AkrapovičTM titanium exhaust system.

MSRP for the 2025 Golf R starts at $47,100 and destination is $1,225.

The subtle but purposeful design language of the Mk8 Golf R communicates that it’s a top-tier performance car while avoiding flamboyant styling that does not offer engineering benefit. Despite its performance capabilities, Golf R is suited to being a daily driver, as comfortable in the school carpool lane as it is on the racetrack.

The Mk8 Golf R is again based on the successful MQB modular transverse architecture, in this case allowing for even sportier proportions. While the wheelbase remains unchanged from the previous generation, at 103.5 inches, the car is now longer, at 169.1 inches. At 57.8 inches high and 70.4 inches wide, the Golf R boasts a very low visual center of gravity, which was achieved through the wide air intakes at the front and a striking shoulder line.
