Used 2023 Volkswagen Golf R

The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R 2.0T with DSG transmission is a high-performance hot hatchback powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque (280 lb-ft with the manual). The seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission delivers lightning-quick shifts and enables a 0-60 mph time of just 4.1 seconds, making it one of the quickest Golfs ever produced. It features an advanced all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring and multiple driving modes including Comfort, Sport, Race, Drift, and even a special Nürburgring mode optimized for track performance. The Golf R combines practicality with performance, offering a refined interior with sport seats, modern infotainment system, standard driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring, and impressive fuel economy ratings of 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. With a starting price around $45,540 for the DSG model, it sits well above the Golf GTI but delivers a more grown-up, understated appearance with subtle R badging and aggressive styling touches including larger front brakes, 19-inch wheels, and quad exhaust outlets.
