2023 Volkswagen Golf R Compared to 2022 VW Golf R

2023 Volkswagen Golf R Compared to 2022 VW Golf R

The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R brought back the sportiest member of the storied Golf family of hatchbacks to the Denver Metro region after a long absence. Going into the 2023 model year of the high-end hatchback, the standard version of the Golf R remains largely untouched. However, there is a new special 20th Anniversary Edition version of the Volkswagen available for the 2023 model year. With limited numbers of the unique version of the vehicle being made, it showcases many visual elements that celebrate the momentous occasion for the high-end vehicle.  

Performance

The turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2023 Volkswagen Golf R is the same one found in the 2022 model year. This means customers looking at the 2023 Golf R will appreciate knowing that all 315 horsepower available to them in the vehicle is going to deliver sensational driving experiences across the Denver Metro region. Both the standard six-speed manual and the available seven-speed automatic transmissions return for the 2023 version of the hatchback as well to supply seamless acceleration. Making Colorado driving in every season easier is the 4Motion® AWD platform that comes standard once again on the sporty family cruiser.   

Exterior & Interior Features

While the standard 2023 VW Golf R remains virtually unchanged from its invigorated 2022 relaunch, the new 20th Anniversary Edition of the hatchback has unique features that highlight the great occasion being celebrated. Badging across the vehicle displays 20th Anniversary and blue R symbols for the specific trim of the Golf. These blue R logos are found inside the hatchback as well. The 20th Anniversary Golf R rides on 19-inch wheels painted in black. Those who want to claim one of the very limited-edition vehicles can choose between blue, black, or white for exterior colors.  

Safety Features 

Bringing back features such as Adaptive Cruise Control as standard driver-assistance technology for another year, the 2023 Volkswagen Golf R is ready to keep everyone in the vehicle safe and satisfied all over the Denver Metro region. Front Assist also returns for the coveted combination of Autonomous Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning. Thanks to the 4Motion® AWD platform being brought back as the standard drivetrain, driving across Colorado in any weather is a much more confident experience behind the wheel of the Golf R.
