January 12 2023, Groupe Lauzon
Unveiled earlier this year, the new 2022 Volkswagen Golf R is a brand-new generation of Volkswagen’s performance flagship. The Golf R offers a wide range of improvements including a more powerful engine, a more refined interior, and even a new Drift Mode!
The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R is still be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but this engine now delivers 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That’s a big improvement over the current Golf R’s 288 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Better yet, you can still get a six-speed manual, or you can opt for a quicker-shifting DSG dual-clutch gearbox.
4Motion all-wheel drive is standard and there’s a new torque vectoring system to make better use of the available power. The torque vectoring system can send up to 100% of the power making it to the rear wheels to just a single wheel, meaning you can get better control, or you can choose to drift the new Golf R.
There’s a new chassis and improved steering dynamics as well. All and all, the revised Volkswagen Golf R has a lot to offer potential buyers including a more luxurious interior. To learn more, give us a call today!
