The 2025 Volkswagen Golf R just landed in Saudi Arabia and it's turning heads. With aggressive power, sharp design, and daily drivability, it’s going straight for the crown in the hot hatch segment. Whether you're chasing speed or comfort, the Golf R delivers both without compromise. Here's everything Saudi drivers need to know about this all wheel drive performance hatch.
The Golf R packs serious power under the hood. A 2.0 liter turbocharged TSI engine produces 333 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. That’s enough to push it from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.6 seconds. Top speed? Up to 270 kilometers per hour if you go for the optional R Performance package.
The seven speed DSG automatic gearbox shifts lightning quick, and the intelligent 4Motion all wheel drive system keeps everything planted through corners. This is the kind of performance you usually expect from much more expensive cars, making the Golf R a performance bargain in the Saudi market.
Volkswagen is offering the Golf R in Saudi Arabia starting at 262300 SAR, and that includes VAT. The deal also covers 5 years of warranty or 150000 kilometers, 5 years of free service or 75000 kilometers, and 5 years of roadside assistance. That’s solid value for anyone looking to invest in a reliable performance car.
Inside, you’ll find a 10 inch digital display, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and premium leather sport seats with heating, cooling, and even a massage function on upper trims. Safety tech includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear traffic alerts.
