Volkswagen has announced pricing for the refreshed 2025 Golf GTI and Golf R models, offering performance enthusiasts more power and technology than ever before. The Golf GTI starts at $36,495 for the base trim, while the Golf R is priced at $50,995, with both models available for order now and arriving at dealerships this spring.
The 2025 Golf R stands as the most powerful Golf ever created, with an impressive 328 horsepower—a 13 hp increase from the previous generation. This performance hatchback maintains its position as the top-selling sports car in the market with 4MOTION all-wheel-drive and rear-axle torque vectoring that delivers exceptional handling in all conditions.
Enhanced Performance Technology
The Golf R offers sophisticated performance features that maximize driving dynamics in any situation. The 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission comes standard, channeling the 2.0L TSI engine's substantial power to all four wheels through Volkswagen's advanced 4MOTION system.
New "Warmenau" 19-inch forged alloy wheels reduce weight by 20% compared to previous Golf R wheels, significantly improving handling response and acceleration. For driving enthusiasts seeking additional performance, the new Black Edition offers an optional Akrapovič titanium exhaust system ($3,000) that enhances engine acoustics while reducing weight by 7 kg.
Upgraded Interior Experience
Both GTI and Golf R models feature a completely revised interior centered around a new freestanding 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. The system runs Volkswagen's latest operating software, providing faster response times and a more intuitive layout than previous generations.
Physical buttons now replace the haptic switchgear on the steering wheel, addressing driver feedback with improved tactile control. Additional interior upgrades include ventilated 15-watt wireless charging, voice control with voice enhancer, and in the Golf R, Nappa leather seats with ventilation and 12-way power adjustment.
Distinctive Exterior Design
The refreshed exterior styling gives both models a modern appearance with new headlights, front bumper designs, and an illuminated front logo with standard lightbar. The GTI features two new exterior colors—Alpine Silver Metallic and Slate Blue Metallic—while the Golf R maintains its trademark Lapiz Blue Metallic option alongside Pure White and Mythos Black Metallic.
The all-new Golf R Black Edition, starting at $53,595, adds distinctive black styling elements throughout the exterior, including "BLACK" B-pillar badging, blacked-out emblems, black-painted brake calipers, and gloss black forged alloy wheels. Black Edition models also feature a contrasting black roof on Pure White and Lapiz Blue vehicles.
Premium Technology Standard
The GTI now includes additional standard equipment like navigation, Dynamic Road Sign Display, Park Distance Control, and Adaptive Front Lighting System. The Autobahn trim ($40,495) adds Dynamic Chassis Control with adaptive damping, a harman/kardon Premium Audio system, and a Head-Up Display.
The Golf R incorporates all premium features as standard, with its only available option being a Rail2Rail power sunroof ($1,250). Both models elevate the driving experience with sophisticated technology that enhances both performance and daily usability.
