Golf 8.5 R-Line

The Golf R-Line

For those who live for the vibes.

Style that makes a statement

The heritage of the Golf R-Line stretches back through the generations, an evolution of the original iconic hatchback. With carefully balanced proportions of form and function, the Golf R-Line refines a timeless design into the unmistakably modern.

Efficiency in motion

Punch above your weight

The Golf R-Line is powered by a 1.5-litre eTSI mild-hybrid powertrain that combines turbocharged performance with a 48V battery. This integration of direct-injection technology and mild-hybrid efficiency delivers smooth acceleration and a more economical drive, allowing you to go further on a single tank.

Dressed to delight

Timeless design, reimagined

Flanking the illuminated ‘VW’ logo are striking IQ.Light LED matrix headlights with High Beam Plus. These adapt automatically to traffic to reduce glare while keeping the road brilliantly lit for confident driving, day or night.

Stage presence

The R-Line exterior styling provides a hint of sporty aggression, highlighted by 17-inch Coventry alloy wheel for a dynamic stance.

Shine for you

Unique headlight and taillight sequences, and ‘VW’ puddle lights greet you whenever you unlock your vehicle.

Space that inspires

Elegance in every turn
