2024 Volkswagen Golf R Hatchback Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
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.
Which Golf R trim 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.
