Modification your car with Carwow:
The Golf R has been upgraded!
VW's well-known pocket rocket has been updated in 2024, however are the changes enough to sway you away from rivals such as the S3, AMG A35 or M135?
Well, let's take a closer look. Starting with the style, it's still clearly a Golf, however there are a few notable changes compared to the previous edition. You now have an illuminated VW badge sitting within the light bar extending throughout the front. The lower bumper has also been revamped and houses some real vents on either side. Along the side there are satin door mirrors and side skirts, while at the back there's a redesigned bumper, upgraded taillights, and naturally, quad tailpipes.
On the within, not much has been updated – however that's not necessarily a bad thing! There's blue stitching throughout, R-specific digital dials, and soft-touch products throughout. The primary modification, though, is the big infotainment screen on the centre of the dash. It's brilliant and looks wise, although it can be a bit laggy at times. In the back, there aren't any changes of note – it's basically the like the previous edition.
Under the bonnet, you have the exact same 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo as previously. Nevertheless, the power output has actually now been increased from 320hp to 333hp! It still features 4×4 and a 7-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. It'll propel you to 60mph in simply 4.6 seconds.
The brand-new Golf R expenses from ₤ 44,500. So is it still the very best hot hatch on the market for under ₤ 45,000? Stick to Mat to see for yourself!
