Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today launched the all-new Golf R, the flagship model that completes the introduction of the all-new Golf family in Malaysia.
As the ultimate performance hatch, the Golf R has set and broken numerous records worldwide. Its appeal, on the road and track, lies in the fact that it is one of the most well-rounded models available in the market, and this explains why more than 250,000 units of the Golf-R have been produced and sold around the world.
The all-new Golf R reigns supreme by outperforming its predecessors to become the most powerful model yet. Boasting 320PS and 400Nm of torque from the latest 2.0TSI turbocharged engine and 7-speed DSG, it is a true performance powerhouse meant for those who seek the best.
Driving performance is taken to the next level with the new all-wheel drive system: 4MOTION with Performance Torque Vectoring. This intelligent and innovative system enables power to be distributed not only between the front and rear, but also selectively between the rear wheels – which significantly increases the agility of the Golf R, particularly when cornering. It is notably the first Volkswagen to be launched with this system.
The Vehicle Dynamics Manager system in the R is closely integrated with other running systems, such as the electronic differential locks (XDS), dynamic chassis control (DCC), and progressive steering, to provide optimum traction and remarkable handling with the utmost level of precision.
The prestige of the R is found in the interior too, with a premium feature being the Harman Kardon 480-watt audio system with 10 speakers. It brings to life rich and vibrant acoustics to provide a mesmerising audio experience.
It is available in three colours – its signature Lapiz Blue, Deep Black and Pure White.
The all-new Golf R is imported and priced at RM356,412.85. It comes with three years free maintenance, five years unlimited mileage warranty, and five years roadside assistance.
