Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced the offer structure for its refreshed 2025 Golf GTI and Golf R. Building on the success of the eighth-generation models, the 2025 GTI and R offer a compelling blend of performance, technology, and driver engagement. The 2025 Golf GTI will be offered in three trims: S, SE and Autobahn. In addition to the 2025 Golf R, a new Golf R Black Edition joins the lineup.
Exterior changes include new headlights and front bumper, an illuminated logo, and a standard lightbar. Two new colors, Alpine Silver Metallic and Slate Blue Metallic, join the palette, complemented by a bold new 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design.
The interior gets a significant upgrade, featuring a new, freestanding 12.9-inch touchscreen. This system boasts the latest operating system, shared with the ID. Buzz and 2024 ID.4, offering faster software and a more intuitive layout.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder TSI® engine produces 241 horsepower and is now mated only with a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Standard and available features are improved across all trim levels, including standard navigation, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and wireless App-Connect on the base S trim. IQ.DRIVE driver assistance technology remains standard across the board, consisting of Travel Assist (semi-automated driving assistance); Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring); Active Side Assist (Blind Spot Monitor); Rear Traffic Alert; Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go; Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System); and Emergency Assist (semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency).
Like the GTI, the R’s interior boasts a new, freestanding 12.9-inch touchscreen with the latest operating system. Additionally, a new Golf R Black Edition joins the lineup, featuring blacked-out detailing, accents, wheels, brake calipers, and carbon fiber decor.
