Volkswagen Golf R 7.5 v1.0

The Volkswagen Golf R 7.5 is a performance-oriented variant of the Golf hatchback, Volkswagen's "R" models sit atop the range, offering the highest levels of power, performance, and equipment.

The 7.5 update refers to the mid-cycle refresh that the MK7 Golf received, which occurred around 2017-2018. During this update, the Golf R, along with other models in the Golf lineup, received various cosmetic and technological upgrades.

The Golf R 7.5 comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (known as the TSI in Volkswagen speak), which, in this iteration, typically produces around 310 PS (306 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque—though exact figures can vary by market. This engine is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels through Volkswagen's 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.
