The Volkswagen Golf Mk7 is a compact car, the seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Volkswagen Golf Mk6. It was announced in Berlin on 4 September 2012, before a public launch at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
Golf R is built as a 3 or 5-door hatchback or 5-door estate. It is powered by 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol engine with 300HP and 380NM.
It can be equipped with 6-speed manual or 6-speed DSG gearbox. DSG is about 0.5 second faster than manual, and with Launch Control its able to do 0-100 under 5 seconds.
The R uses an updated, fifth-generation Haldex 4MOTION four-wheel drive system. Under low loads or when coasting, the rear axle is decoupled, helping to reduce fuel consumption. Drive to the rear axle can be engaged in fractions of a second via the Haldex coupling, which is actuated by an electro-hydraulic pump. Up to 50 percent of power can be transferred to the rear axle. A brake actuated, XDS+ system mimics a limited-slip differential by applying the brakes to the wheel with the least traction, this is on both the front and rear axles.
