Volkswagen Golf R Variant makes world debut at the L.A. Auto Show
20 Nov 2014|5,003 views
For the first time in the history of the Golf R, this iconic all-wheel drive compact sports car will be produced as a stationwagon. Like the two or four-door hatchback versions, the new Golf R Variant is powered by an advanced four-cylinder EA888 engine, producing 296bhp and 380Nm of torque. The power is transmitted to the pavement via a standard six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission and permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.
The chassis features a lowered sport suspension - 0.8 inches lower than a stock Golf - the innovative progressive steering system and a stability control system, 'ESC Sport', which can be deactivated for use on a racetrack. Optional highlights include the newest generation of the DCC adaptive damping system with a driving profile selector that features a Race mode.
The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is very fuel efficient, consuming 7.0L/100km, which equates to CO2 emissions of 163g/km.
The Golf R Variant is distinguished from other Golf wagon models in a number of areas. At the rear, it has a new R design bumper, a high-gloss black diffuser, four chrome exhaust tips, so-called 'aero flaps' on the D-pillars, cherry-red taillights and LED license plate lighting.
At the front, the Golf R Variant also has an R-specific bumper with particularly large air intakes, a distinctive radiator grille (with 'R' logo) as well as Bi-Xenon headlights with integrated daytime running lights. The LED DRLs form a distinctive dual 'U' design beneath the headlights.
Other interior features include blue ambient lighting, automatic air conditioning, and the Composition Touch infotainment system.
The rear seats have the same appearance as those in the front. With five people on board, the car has 605 litres of cargo space, loaded up to the back of the rear seats. Up to the front seats and up to the roof, there is 1,620 litres of luggage room.
Another exclusive feature on the Golf R Variant is the Driving Profile Selector, which is normally optional but is standard in conjunction with DCC adaptive damping.
The feature has four programs in the Golf R Variant, and five in conjunction with DCC: Eco, Normal, Individual, and a Race mode that has been specially designed for the Golf R. In combination with DCC, Comfort mode is also available.
