You haven’t experienced thrills until you have driven the new 2025 Volkswagen Golf R. If an engine choice of a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, 315 horsepower, and 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds doesn’t thrill you, then peace of mind and carefree maintenance coverage might.
The Thrills of the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R
Performance
With a customizable all-wheel-drive,the Golf R handles curves with ease. Your choice of multiple driving modes and custom settings put you in charge of your adventure. The 10.25″ digital dashboard display can be customized to make it feel like your own cockpit with features you love, including app connect, sound, radio/media, navigation, and ambient lights. Of course, a road trip is only as good as its music, so you will be pleased to discover the premium audio system from Harman Kardon includes a subwoofer and center speaker. You will even receive a three-month trial subscription from SiriusXM.
While it is becoming more common for cars today to include some driver assistance, Volkswagen has included I.Q. Drive, reducing your stress for when you’re on the road. I.Q. Drive helps keep you in your lane, monitors your blind spots, and assists with cruise control. Additionally, it aids you with lights, road signs, and parking. It doesn’t drive itself, but it will make you feel like you have a terrific co-pilot.
Safety
The power of a car is one of its strongest features, but without safety, it isn’t worth the cost. The Golf R gives you both performance and protection, going beyond rear cameras and tire pressure monitoring. The base model includes a safety cage that offers additional protection to the front and rear in the event of an accident and an Intelligent Crash Response System that will turn off your fuel pump as a precautionary measure. The car will even unlock automatically when the airbags deploy. We hope you never need it, but it’s there if you do.
And since a car is safest when it is maintained properly, we’ve got you covered. For the first two years (or 20,000 miles), you receive free maintenance service as recommended by Volkswagen (oil changes not included). The Golf R comes with a 4-year, 50,000-mile limited warranty bumper to bumper. Roadside assistance is complimentary for the first three years or 36,000 miles. Remote features for the app are warrantied for the first five years of ownership.
With all the sleek features included, every day can feel like an adventure in this sporty hatchback. Learn more by visiting us today at Ewald Volkswagen in Menomonee Falls, WI. Our dealership can’t wait to take you on your next thrill ride.
