Volkswagen Golf R – Overview
The Volkswagen Golf is not only the most recognisable car in the
carmaker’s stable, it is one of the most iconic cars in the world, and in
February 2022, Malaysia finally got her hands on the fire-breathing, all-wheel
drive version of this hatchback, the Volkswagen Golf R, now in its eighth
generation, or more famously known as Mk8. As the pinnacle of the range, this
latest superhatch is only available as a fully-imported model, unlike its other
two less muscular siblings, the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Volkswagen Golf R-Line,
both of which are put together in Pekan.
This means that this new 2022 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 is priced at
RM391,162 on-the-road sans insurance, which makes it almost RM100k more
expensive than the outgoing model.
