Editors Picks - Volkswagen Golf R-Line - Extra-Sporty Spied

The Volkswagen Golf has long been seen as the benchmark European compact hatchback. Offering the best mix of driver appeal, build quality and practicality, the Golf has over the years won itself a long line of fans. Volkswagen’s high performance model, the Golf GTI has also been well-received by car enthusiasts here and abroad.

Being at the heart of the Volkswagen brand, the Golf also caters to different needs with three different body styles. A Hatchback, a Variant (Estate) and the SV, a larger and taller version of the Golf hatchback; and there is even the Golf R, a Golf hot hatch that is even more mental, and even quicker than the iconic GTI itself.

Volkswagen Singapore has just introduced the Volkswagen Golf R-Line CL! Imagine all the essentials that make the Volkswagen Golf the ‘King of the Hatchbacks’... and now enhanced with their sporty R-Line kit!

Known for its excellent packaging, providing very good passenger accommodation, and build quality rivaling cars a class above, it is also the little things that make owning a Volkswagen Golf special. For instance, an adjustable boot floor, which adds more versatility when it comes to loading the boot; together with rear seat backs that fold flat in 40:60 fashion provides the Golf with flexibility of anywhere between 380 litres to 1,270 litres. Entertainment and connectivity is provided through the Composition Media infotainment unit, fronted by a large 8” colour touchscreen.

Power comes from a 1.4 litre turbocharged engine, mated to a fast-shifting 7-speed DSG transmission, which switches gears as quick as the blink of the eye, the Golf hatchback’s crisp handling, mirroring the GTI, will easily put a smile on your face while you are behind the wheel.

Not only is the Golf able to deliver an exhilarating drive. When placed into fuel sipping ‘Eco’ mode, where the drivetrain is more relaxed, and even is able to coast when you lift off the throttle, fuel economy is at 5.5L/100km… simply put, less time at the pump and more time on the road.

Good all-round visibility, including wing mirrors, mounted onto the doors instead of the windows helps to provide improved line of sight in common lateral blind areas, which makes this compact hatch extremely driver-friendly.

Not only does the Volkswagen Golf deliver a great driving experience, it truly is a handsome car… And now even more so, with the addition of its stylish R-Line kit, which features high-gloss black intake screens, striking ‘C’ signature accents on its front bumper, and added aggression from its unique honeycomb lower grille. Trapezoidal chrome trims with a unique R-line diffuser on the rear bumper, sill extensions and ten-spoke 17” rims enhances the Golf R-Line CL’s sporty stance.

A compact hatch that looks this good, and drives just as good.
