All-new Golf R is an unmistakable icon fully loaded with performance features

Volkswagen’s all-new Golf R has found new admirers in Oman who say the hot hatchback is faster, more high-tech, and even more exciting to drive than its already superlative predecessor.

Launched recently in the Sultanate by Premium Motors, the exclusive dealership of Volkswagen in Oman, the all-new Golf R delivers sheer power with sports-tuned suspension and 4MOTION all-wheel drive which ensures the driver both control and comfort. 

With a robust 2.0-litre 320 HP TSI petrol engine, the all-new Golf R releases power exactly when and where you need it and can accelerate to 100km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds.

A long-time fan of the popular Volkswagen model, Waleed Al Harthi who recently bought the all-new ultimate performer Golf R in Oman describes Golf R as “dynamic, progressive and inspiring”. 

Waleed says, “The all-new Golf R is an inimitable model fully loaded with performance features and is highly capable. It provides plenty of driving enjoyment, as well as a good amount of room for people and cargo. It can stand face-to-face with any of its competition, and even outshine some much more expensive models.”

The Golf R is Volkswagen’s top performance model and the elite member of the R-Brand. This latest edition unites speed, precision and power achieving a driving experience like never before.

Together with distinctive design and equipment, this highly dynamic car symbolises its class's gold standard of technology. The all-new Golf R is the first Golf to be launched with a new all-wheel drive system: 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring and selective wheel torque control on the rear axle. This innovative drive significantly increases the agility of the new Golf R, particularly when cornering. As a result, drivers will get precise and neutral handling, optimum traction characteristics and exceptional agility. In other words: maximum driving pleasure.

Christian Nehme, General Manager of Premium Motors, Oman says, “The all-new Golf R is an unmistakable icon fully loaded with performance features. Oman car enthusiasts have always shown a keen desire for performance models. We are happy we were part of their dream of owning the incredible Golf R.”

Unique exterior features of the new Golf R model include; matt chrome mirrors and R logo floor projection when the car door is opened and closed. The Golf R ride height is 20 millimetres lower than the standard Golf. Three colour options include Lapiz Blue Metallic (a signature colour for R), Pure White or Deep Black Pearl Effect. 

The blue brake calipers give the optional 19-inch alloy wheels a distinctive touch. The wheel options include: 19-inch “Adelaide” alloy wheels, 18-inch “Jerez” alloy wheels, or 19-inch “Estoril” alloy wheels (black with burnished finish or black).
