2026 Volkswagen Golf R will share new head- and tail lamps with the 2025 GTI but keep its distinct front bumper, lower grille, and front intakes. Expect larger wheels, blue brake calipers, a unique rear spoiler, and large exhaust tips. With the 2025 GTI getting a 21-hp boost, there’s hope for a similar upgrade to the Golf R, potentially reaching around 335 hp.

For the 2026 Volkswagen Golf R, Volkswagen may not make big powertrain changes. They might add a bit more horsepower to the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, currently rated at 315 horsepower. The automatic transmission remains the sole option, featuring seven speeds.

In 2026, the Golf R will have a 4Motion all-wheel-drive system for better handling, with selectable drive modes easily activated by an "R" button on the steering wheel. Expect the strong engine, quick-shifting transmission, all-wheel drive, and stellar handling to continue impressing drivers, building on the success of the outgoing model.

The 2026 Golf R, especially the automatic version, showed good efficiency with EPA estimates of 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. In highway testing, the automatic Golf R achieved an impressive 34 mpg, while the manual version reached 30 mpg.

Expect the improvements seen in the 2026 GTI’s interior to carry over to the 2025 Golf R. The GTI’s infotainment system has been enhanced, addressing the issues with the touchscreen and touch controls. Notably, the steering wheel now features practical hard buttons instead of tricky touch-sensitive sliders.

While the Golf’s interior design has evolved, the reliable five-passenger-and-cargo layout remains unchanged. You can anticipate a spacious interior, ample cargo space, Golf R-specific sport seats, and subtle interior details reminding you that you’re in the R version.

The upgraded 2026 GTI features a larger 12.9-inch infotainment screen, likely to be included in the R model. This is an upgrade from the previous 10.0-inch display, with improved functionality from the upgraded MIB4 software. Additionally, a more advanced voice assistant is expected, capable of recognizing a broader range of commands.
