Discover the Volkswagen Golf R Mk7.5 — the refined evolution of VW’s legendary hot hatch. Produced between 2017 and 2020, the Mk7.5 builds on the already potent Mk7 with a sharper design, smarter tech, and even more thrilling performance. Under the bonnet lies a 2.0L turbocharged EA888 engine delivering up to 310 PS (later adjusted slightly due to emissions regulations), paired with Volkswagen’s renowned 4MOTION all-wheel drive system for superb traction in all conditions. With the option of a slick 6-speed manual or a new-for-this-generation 7-speed DSG automatic, it rockets from 0–100 km/h in as little as 4.6 seconds.

This facelift brought more than just speed — updated styling includes sleek LED headlights and taillights, redesigned bumpers, and an available 9.2” Discover Pro infotainment system with gesture control. Inside, drivers are treated to the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, blending cutting-edge technology with everyday usability. The Mk7.5 stands as a high point in the Golf R legacy — offering understated looks, blistering pace, and everyday comfort in equal measure. Whether you're carving back roads or cruising the motorway, this is the definitive hot hatch for the driver who wants it all.

Engine & Transmission

Powering the Mk7.5 Golf R is Volkswagen’s highly respected 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-4 (EA888 Gen 3) engine — a refined yet aggressive unit producing up to 310 PS (306 hp) and 400 Nm of torque in early models (later adjusted slightly due to WLTP changes). Paired with advanced direct injection, variable valve timing, and a low-inertia turbo, the result is instant throttle response, strong mid-range torque, and seamless power delivery across the rev range.

Mated to this powerhouse is the updated 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox (DQ381) — a major upgrade from the 6-speed in earlier models. It delivers ultra-fast gear changes, especially in manual or sport mode, with smooth shifts in daily driving. The system also includes launch control, helping the Golf R accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds with brutal efficiency. It’s the perfect pairing of intelligent engineering and raw performance.
