The latest 2024 Golf R is quick and fun to drive but hasn't lost the cool, understated charm that defines a Volkswagen hatchback. It's pricey compared to some rivals, but you're getting plenty of performance in the deal. Great cars tend to be focused; the Golf R is a wonder because it seems to be good at nearly everything.

Overview
The 2024 Volkswagen Golf R is a do-it-all staple for compact-car enthusiasts. Compared to the Golf GTI — the regular Golf is no longer sold in the United States — the R boasts some significant upgrades. These include a more powerful 315-horsepower engine, an adaptive suspension system that adjusts to enhance handling and ride comfort, and a trick all-wheel-drive system that uses torque vectoring at the rear wheels to make the car more nimble when powering out of turns. It even has a Drift mode for the hooligan in you. On top of that you get a practical hatchback body style and plenty of standard features.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.87 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Edmunds spotlight: Last year for the manual transmission
For 2024, the Golf R is unchanged. However, Volkswagen has said the available manual will no longer be offered starting in 2025, leaving a dual-clutch automatic as the sole transmission. This makes 2024 your last shot at the manual, and one that's worth taking. While the R's daily drivability is certainly better with the dual-clutch automatic, rowing your own is an increasingly rare experience in cars and something worth experiencing.
Competitors to consider
With a recent resurgence of hot hatchback competition in the form of the Toyota GR Corolla and Honda Civic Type R, the Golf is no longer the only choice for those in the market for a jack-of-all-trades performance car. While the Golf R isn't quite as thrilling to drive as these rivals, it is also the only one to offer an automatic. Check out our Expert Rating below to get the full breakdown on the Golf R's performance, comfort and more.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
9/10
How does the Golf R drive? The Golf R uses one of the best turbocharged four-cylinder engines around. Our automatic-equipped Golf R test car ripped from 0 to 60 mph in a scant 4.3 seconds and cleared the quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at 108.3 mph. Those are outstanding acceleration times for a hot hatch or compact performance sedan. The engine is powerful and smooth, and the dual-clutch transmission's shifts feel far more refined than those from traditional automatics in some rivals.
Braking and handling impressed too. The Golf R stopped from 60 mph in just 105 feet and pulled 0.99 g on the skidpad, again among the best we've ever seen from any compact. The standard adaptive suspension does a wonderful job of keeping body motions well in check, and standard all-wheel drive means traction is never an issue. The car feels light and nimble thanks to that well-tuned suspension as well as responsive steering that translates more road feel than the closely related Volkswagen GTI. It's not the sharpest or most dynamic car in its class, but it's not too far off the benchmark. Some editors found the steering to be a bit heavy in Sport mode, but it lightens up at low speeds, which makes the Golf R a breeze to park.

Some editors found the steering to be a bit heavy in Sport mode, but it lightens up at low speeds, which makes the Golf R a breeze to park.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Golf R? The Golf R's adaptive suspension dampers help improve not only handling but ride comfort too. There's a distinct difference between Comfort and Sport settings, though the latter is still reasonably compliant. The Golf R's seats are also great. They offer excellent support, with fixed bolsters that hug without squeezing too tight. The front seats are both heated and ventilated; the rear outboard seats are heated too. Padding in both rows is supportive but not overly firm.
The Golf R is relatively quiet, with only a mild amount of wind and road noise at highway speeds. The exhaust is adjustable, though even in its loudest setting you won't have trouble talking to your passengers. The exhaust note is beefy for a four-cylinder engine, and there's a lovely bit of turbo whine at full blast.
Our biggest complaint is the car's climate control system. While the standard three-zone automatic climate control is a plus, controlling and adjusting the setting can be cumbersome and frustrating. In fact, you can't even see the capacitive touch controls at night as Volkswagen (incorrectly) believed it didn't need backlighting. Using voice commands is a crutch, not a solution. At least the air conditioning blows cold.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The same capacitive touch controls that make the climate control system so frustrating plague the rest of the car too. Outside of the window switches, there really aren't any actual buttons. We accidently turned on the heated steering wheel multiple times when a palm grazed the capacitive control in a tight turn. The volume control on the wheel can be pressed or used as a slider, but it doesn't work great either way.
Fortunately, the rest of the interior is much better. The front seat is spacious in all directions, and the driver's seat offers enough adjustment so that it doesn't take long to dial in a comfortable position. The rear is comfortable for adults, but there are more spacious compacts in this class, and the center tunnel makes the middle seat a bit useless. The doors open wide, and the small footprint makes getting in and out a nonissue. The Golf R's upright cabin and narrow pillars help make for great outward visibility, though the side mirrors are on the smaller side.

Technology
9/10
How’s the tech? All Golf Rs come standard with a 10-inch touchscreen display and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, both of which allow for some customization. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard and have wireless connectivity, though you can still connect your phone directly using one of the USB-C ports. A wireless charging pad is also standard.
Thankfully, the touchscreen's controls work better than the capacitive touch ones, though the menu system isn't always the most intuitive. While it can occasionally lag, the built-in navigation system works well for the most part. The map is clear and easy to navigate, and it's easy to input directions using the screen or voice commands. The latter works better than most in this class and can also be used to do things such as adjust the radio or climate control system.
Volkswagen includes a whole suite of driver aids on the Golf R, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning and lane keeping assistance. All work well, with straightforward controls and no false positives or overly sensitive beeps. Even better, adaptive cruise control is available with the manual transmission.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The Golf R has a reasonably large cargo area, with 19.9 cubic feet of space with the seats up and 34.5 cubes with the 60/40-split rear seats folded down. The cargo floor is low and wide, and the rear seats fold nearly flat. The upright rear window helps with taller items, as does the height-adjustable rear load floor. Storage in the front of the cabin is equally impressive, with large door pockets, adjustable (if somewhat awkward) front cupholders, and a bin in front of the shifter for your phone or sunglasses. The rear door pockets are sizable too, and there are three map pockets on the back of each front seat.
The Golf R has easily accessible Isofix anchors on the outboard rear seats, though you do need to remove the cargo cover to access the seatback anchor. The doors open reasonably wide, and the tall, flat roof means there's space to move around. Larger seats may require scooting up the front seat a bit.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The automatic-equipped Volkswagen Golf R gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Opting for the six-speed manual drops the estimate down to 23 mpg combined. The automatic-equipped model's rating is better than most rivals no matter the transmission, and few manual-transmission rivals exceed what the Golf R can do. On Edmunds' 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, we saw the Golf R automatic turn in an impressive 29.3 mpg.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Golf R a good value? The Golf R is pricey compared to a regular Golf GTI, but there's value here. It comes loaded with standard equipment and has zero options beyond paint color and your choice of transmission. Overall build quality is excellent, and the interior gives off a premium feel you won't find in other hot hatches or sport compacts. There's more hard plastic inside than other cars in the mid-$40,000s, but it's an OK trade-off considering the car's performance.
Volkswagen offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, which is average for this class. You also get three years/36,000 miles of roadside assistance and two years/24,000 miles of included maintenance.

Wildcard
9/10
The Golf R has been somewhat understated. Older models were distinct enough from the base Golf that you could tell it was something special but not so flashy that it would draw your attention. That's true of the eighth-generation model, too, though Volkswagen has added a bit more spice this go-around. It's sharp and sporty, with more aggressive front and rear fascias than before. The rear wing has grown in size but is still relatively subtle. It looks and feels a bit more grown-up than either the Honda Civic Type R or Hyundai Elantra N.
Which Golf R does Edmunds recommend?
The Golf R only comes in a single loaded trim level, so your only significant choices relate to the R's transmission and color. Considering that the automatic costs more, and this is the last year of the manual, we recommend getting the stick.
Volkswagen Golf R models
The 2024 Volkswagen Golf R is available in a single loaded trim level. The R comes with your choice of transmission: a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. These are mated to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and all-wheel-drive system with rear-axle torque vectoring capability. The Golf R produces 315 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed. The DSG automatic adds 15 lb-ft of torque, bringing the total to 295 lb-ft.

Hottest hatch needs a software update!
4 out of 5 starsFred Mephisto, 11/17/2022
2022 Volkswagen Golf R 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
To me this is one of the most enjoyable cars to drive in the real world. Super snappy acceleration, AWD is glued to the road, quiet (but can give some pop and rumble if you like), it is just pure fun to tear around town. Seats are really comfortable and I think the overall appearance of the exterior is spot on, especially in the blue.
There was a recall to remove the plastic engine … cover as apparently it could come dislodged, but honestly I prefer to see the engine anyway. The VW luggage rack accessory kit is a perfect fit and works great so far. I am not positive but I strongly suspect a large number of this model coming to this
The real Achilles' heel of the 2022 Golf R is the in-dash system. Lots of annoyance here. A variety of problems relating to connecting our phones (pixel) and using Android auto. Connects and drops bluetooth over and over, can't decide which phone to use, has to be plugged in AND connected via bluetooth. (Which I believe is an Android auto issue, but I additionally purchased Motorola MA1 adapter which I also can not get to work in the R, however haven't tried on another vehicle.) Slow system boot. Occasional total audio failure requiring ignition cycle to fix. Always fun get into a hot car and wait for a boot process to complete before you can turn on a fan...
Overall, because this is my daily driver, the interface problems definitely dampen the otherwise glowing review I would have here. I'm hoping these are the sorts of things that get corrected with software updates.
Amazing to drive. The info system you get used to

2022 Volkswagen Golf R 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
I hate to say I like commuting - but now getting to drive the R, I actually look forward to commuting. That's certainly new. Such a fun car to drive. The info system isn't the easiest to use - but you get used to it as you learn all the shortcuts. Watching so many R reviews - I was led to think the new info touch interface was an inherently evil force in the world. It ain't that bad … - It could be better in some ways, but it has a lot to offer. Once you learn all you can do with it you can see how you can integrate your own personality into your car. I got a used 2019 R. That car was very nice but had issues so I got rid of it and went for a band new one. The new one drives noticeably better. I did get a new set of tires 235/40-19R vs the 235/35-19R that come new on it. After only a week I got a flat hitting a very small pot hole so got a second set of slightly less sporty but more robust Michelin Pilot tires with a taller sidewall.
Ignore bandwagon infotainment reviews!

2022 Volkswagen Golf R 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Don’t let these reviewers who spend 10 minutes trying to figure out the infotainment, sway you in their decision. Find out for yourself. It’s a NON issue. I’ve had my ‘22 R since Feb. ‘22 and I have never accidentally turned on the heated steering wheel. I can see it being possible if you drive with your palms flat gripping the inner spokes of the wheel. The volume and radio sliders on … the wheel are also way easier than actual buttons….try them and you will be surprised. Also the climate control complaints are vastly exaggerated. I set the temp when I first got the car and have not even touched them since. It works that well. The defroster, front and rear are on the lighted headlight switch area. Anything relating to vision is located there. Tons of shortcuts to you can customize. The “reviewers” all cry about a the 7 step process to turn off traction control……I swipe down from the top to open the shortcut and then tap off! Finally they recommend the manual….although a cool bit of nostalgia, you are buying a considerably slower car. The same car with the DSG is 1 full second quicker to 60 mph and the 1/4 mile. The manual is unremarkable and they haven’t advanced or improved it in many years. With the manual, the competition can hang with you, with the DSG, they do not stand a chance.
My 2023 20th anniversary edition Golf R
5 out of 5 starsTom S., 10/31/2023
2023 Volkswagen Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Love this car. It is quick, fast, fun, under the radar, and handles like a dream. I am averaging 28 miles per gallon combined and I don't drive it conservatively. Everyone says bad things about the infotainment system, but once you understand how to work it and get used to it, it is very straight forward. Its multi drive modes allows it to be both a sports car and a comfortable daily … driver. DSG is fast and smooth, and with launch control, 60 MPH comes in a hair over 4 seconds (not bad for a car that gets 28 MPG). I highly recommend this car for anyone that wants a wolf in sheep's clothing.
