Polo Golf R 2022

This is the new Volkswagen Golf R, the latest in an established line of Golfs with more than a little extra “Grrr”. Or perhaps just “Rrrr”.So, is the Mark 8 VW Golf R still the cool kid at school who’s bulked up a bit at the gym? Well, it appears so. It has lowered suspension and a cool blue LED light strip between the headlights, plus LED tail lights, four (real) exhaust pipes, a rear diffuser and 18-inch alloy wheels. Certainly, it’s a bit more obvious that this is a performance variant than the last Golf R. Whether or not that floats your boat, or you prefer the ‘sleeper’ look, is entirely subjective.
