    Golf R Specifications and Prices

    Hi Everyone.

    So, what everyone has been waiting for.... turns out even better than expected... only $9500 more than the equivalent base-spec GTI

    3 Door Manual $48,490
    3 Door DSG $50,990

    5 Door Manual $49,990
    5 Door DSG $52,490

    Electric glass sunroof $1,900
    RNS510 satellite navigation system $2,500
    Dynaudio 300W premium audio system $1,300
    RNS510 with Dynaudio 300W premium audio $3,500
    Media Device Interface (MDI) $270
    Rear View Camera (RVC) $500
    Adaptive chassis control $1,500
    Vienna leather appointed upholstery $3,300
    Micro fibre/leather racing style front seats $5,300
    Electrically adjustable driver‘s seat (with 5 door & leather seats only, not recaros) $600
    Talladega 19“ alloy wheels in SILVER $1,300
    Talladega 19“ alloy wheels in BLACK $1,300
    The New MY11 VW Bluetooth $550


    Note, the MY11 VW Bluetooth option isn't listed in the current specifications, but I have been informed it will be available as an option for all MY11 built Golfs, including the R. It has all the advantages of the Skoda Kit & 'Premium' kit, but much more cost effective (basically makes all the existing Bluetooth options redundant).

    All the above pricing are RRP prices only, and do not include the extensive list of items which make up the "On Road" or "Drive Away" costs (dealer delivery, luxury car tax, stamp duty, registration, Compulsory Third Party-insurance, Number Plates, etc). These items will vary based on dealer, state, your residence post code, your age & driving history, and the options you select.

    Edit:
    The Official Golf R Mini-site is now up.
    The Volkswagen.com.au Golf R page is available now too.
    And availalble from there is the Australian Golf R Flyer and the Updated Australian Golf Specifications which now includes the Golf R.

    Finally, I've created a Pricing Calculator Spreadsheet which is available here:
    Golf R Price Calculator Spreadsheet Edit: Now updated for 2010 - 2011 financial year. And updated again on Aug 16 to account for rego changes in NSW on Aug 8
    Please see this post for details on the calculator spreadsheet.

    LOL ... thats going to hurt all of those who chose the GTI .... a much lesser car for what turns out to be not so much less of a price .... .... and not even taking all the std extra's the R has over the GTI into consideration.

    Same spec GTI (ie Bi-Xenon 18" wheels etc) looks to be same price .....

    Anybody brave enough to do a spec/price comparison ?

    Now this is going to hurt those GTI buyers .....

    High Level Spec / Price Comparison for the R vs GTI (5dr manual)

    GTI 5dr manual = $40490

    Add std stuff on the R ....

    Paint $700
    Bi-Xenon $2000
    18" Wheels $1200
    Tinted rear glass $400

    GTI = $44790

    R Base price 5 dr manual $4990

    Difference = $5200

    For which you get the following R "Upgrades" above GTI Spec

    Different seats std
    AWD
    188kw engine
    Parking Sensors F&R

    .... So small a difference for what are particulary nice upgrades .... AWESOME ...

    Paint is now only $500. But yeah, if you say that the front and rear PDC is worth $1000 (it used to be $800 for just rear, and really the only diff between F&R PDC and Park Assist is two additional sensors & software), effectively the difference is $4400 !!!!!

    And yeah, $4400 gets you AWD, better engine, better brakes, better suspension, etc etc. Holy crap!

    Of course people have forgotten that VW seems to have no issues discounting the GTI (on roads for nothing at the moment) . This may not be the case with the R .
