LED performance headlights that stretch all
the way round to the side wings, while sleek

01 The GTI look is visible in every
corner of the interior. While the
premium sport seats in the front are
covered in durable fabric in “Scale
Paper” design, the hallmark red
accents of the GTI design are not only
visible on the leather steering wheel
but also on the front textile floor mats
that come in a complementary colour
scheme.

02 The high-quality Vienna leather seats
evoke a chic and premium feel and
include a cooling function. The black
perforated natural material covers the
central seat panels and inner seat
bolsters on the front premium sport
seats – making the hallmark GTI red
stitching look particularly impressive.

A car made for everyone who strives for more, while still staying true to their
principles. The embodiment of a new dimension of performance, which not only
makes it the most elite member of the model series, but also the star of the
R-brand. From 0 to 100km/h in just 4.8 seconds at an optional top speed of
250km/h. The fourth stage in the evolution of the 2.0L TSI engine with an output
of 235kW (320PS) and the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) represent a very
particular lifestyle: dynamic, progressive and inspiring.

01 The R-specific dynamic front bumpers are complemented by

wide air vents – stretching from the distinctive side sills to the
optional R-Performance Titanium Exhaust System with rear
silencers in titanium from Akrapovič. The R-logo on the boot lid
and the high-gloss black diffuser also hint to the vehicle’s unique
athleticism.

02 The blue brake calipers give the optional 19-inch alloy wheels
a distinctive touch. The choices are many: 19-inch Adelaide alloy
wheels, 18-inch Jerez alloy wheels, or 19-inch Estoril alloy
wheels (black with burnished finish or black). 02

Technology
and options
Wherever the journey leads, Golf brings you
an enhanced drive. One that’s truly yours.
The Golf GTI and the Golf R 19
Infotainment
Once you take a look inside the Golf, you’ll notice straight away that the
digital future has arrived in the cockpit. These features are dominated by
high-resolution displays, and the majority of functions, like the radio, air
conditioning system and lighting, can be operated using touch-sensitive
surfaces and sliders.

01 The 10.25-inch Active Info Display not only

comes with standard features such as the rev
counter, speedometer and mileage counter,
but also other useful data in an even clearer and
more detailed display. You can even set up your
favourite functions on the home screen, just the way
01
you would on your smartphone.
Connectivity
Heir to the tech throne.
Raising the bar in clever innovation that puts you front, centre, and connected.

01

01 ‘App-Connect' allows your Golf to connect with

current Apple and Android smartphones through
innovative technologies: Apple ‘CarPlay’ and Google
‘Android Auto’. This enables you to ‘mirror’ your
smartphone’s most important functions, such as phone
contacts, news and music, on the touch-screen of your
infotainment system, enabling you to operate them
simply and safely during your journey. Please note,
there is usage of only certified apps while driving.
Optional Wireless App-Connect (infotainment package)
available for the GTI/R.

Due to regulatory reasons, please check the availability of Wireless App-Connect with your local dealer.
