Powerful estate with all-round talent – the new Golf R Estate

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • New performance version of the Golf Estate available to order now
  • Innovative 4MOTION all-wheel drive with torque vectoring for outstanding agility
  • Striking look with powerful, sporty design typical of R models
  • Family-friendly power estate, also available with trailer hitch

The new #golfrestate is Volkswagen’s most powerful and dynamic Golf Estate so far. Sportiness meets everyday practicality. Top performance meets flexibility, with a spacious interior. The 235-kW (320-PS) #golfrestate remains true to the tradition of its predecessors: a flexible all-rounder, comfortable leisure and family estate, and a sporty companion with impressive dynamics – thanks in part to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, including R Performance torque vectoring with wheel-selective torque control on the rear axle.

Breath-taking agility and optimum everyday practicality – that is what the new #golfrestate offers. The sport estate features impressive performance, thanks to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive and R Performance torque vectoring. The #golfrestate also sets visual benchmarks with its sporty interior and exterior design. The #golfrestate is the perfect combination of the compact Golf R and a spacious estate. Sportiness, performance and emotions meet space, flexibility and top quality.

Driving dynamics in a new dimension

Like the compact Golf R03, the #golfrestate also comes with the newly-developed 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, including R Performance torque vectoring with wheel-selective torque control on the rear axle. This not only distributes the power between the front and rear axle as needed, via a new rear-axle differential, but also between each rear wheel. The innovative drive system significantly increases the agility of the new #golfrestate, particularly in corners. At the same time, it also increases safety, as more power is guided to the outer wheel at the rear of the car when cornering. This provides the car with a high level of traction, whilst maintaining neutral handling characteristics.

The 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is linked through the Vehicle Dynamics Manager to other chassis systems, like the electronic differential lock (XDS) and optional Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), which allows various configurations. The result: an extremely precise and neutral driving experience, optimal traction, and outstanding agility. In short: maximum driving pleasure. The final fine-tuning of the new #golfrestate took place on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.

With the optional R-Performance package, the high-performance estate has two additional driving profiles: in the “Special” mode, all the key drive parameters are designed for the Nordschleife and other similarly demanding racetracks. The “Drift” driving mode offers new driving dynamics away from public roads and considerably increases fun and safety levels when drifting sideways.


The #golfrestate is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine from the EA888 series. Now in its fourth generation, this engine generates 235 kW (320 PS) and allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The standard top speed of 250 km/h can be increased to 270 km/h with the optional R-Performance package.

A true performer, even in day-to-day use

Even with the R-specific sport chassis and sporty design, the #golfrestate by no means comes up short when it comes to everyday practicality. For example, the “Comfort” mode – one of four standard driving profiles – is designed for optimal comfort, achieved using the engine, transmission, damper and steering parameters, as well as R Performance torque vectoring.

The dynamic estate car also boasts a generous amount of space. The long wheelbase of the #golfrestate – 58 mm longer than the Golf hatchback – allows a particularly spacious interior. Passengers in the rear of the car, in particular, benefit from the larger dimensions. The maximum boot capacity, when loaded to roof level and with the rear seats folded down, is a mighty 1,642 litres. The optional, electrically-retractable trailer hitch rounds off the #golfrestate as a high-performance estate car for everyday use.

The new #golfrestate can be ordered in Germany and Europe now, with prices starting at € 51,585 (incl. 19% VAT)3. HERE you can find all you need to know about the #golfrestate.
