Vehicle Detail

SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TSI300 R 5Dr seen in Lapiz Blue Metallic with Grey Alcantara/Cloth upholstery.

Our 2016 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TSI 300 R 5Dr is the ultimate expression of everyday performance—a car that delivers the practicality of a family hatchback with the soul and firepower of a genuine performance machine. Sitting at the top of the Golf range, the R model is more than just a faster version of the standard hatch. It’s a precision-engineered hot hatchback that brings motorsport pedigree to the street, while retaining the comfort, quality, and usability that have made the Golf a global benchmark.

At its heart is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine that produces a formidable 300 PS (296 bhp) and 380 Nm of torque. Mated to a slick-shifting manual gearbox and channelled through the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, the Golf R offers staggering traction and unshakable confidence in all conditions. It launches from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds placing it firmly in sports car territory, yet without the compromises in comfort or practicality often associated with high-performance vehicles.

The Golf R’s dynamic capabilities are underpinned by a finely tuned chassis, progressive steering, and uprated brakes. Whether carving across the mountain road or gliding effortlessly along our country roads, it offers a poised and composed ride, with the ability to transform into a genuinely exhilarating driver’s car at the touch of a button. Drive modes allow you to tailor the car’s character to your mood—calm and refined in Comfort, or sharp and aggressive in Race mode, with quicker throttle response and a throatier exhaust note that hints at the car’s potential.

Visually, the Golf R strikes a perfect balance between subtlety and aggression. It features discreet R badging, unique bumpers, quad exhausts, a rear diffuser, and lowered ride height, all of which signal its intent without resorting to exaggerated styling. The 18" alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, and xenon headlamps complete the confident, purposeful look. It’s a car that blends in when needed but stands out to those who know what to look for.

Inside, the Golf R maintains Volkswagen’s hallmark quality and sophistication, with a driver-focused cockpit trimmed in premium materials. Deep, bolstered sports seats in Alcantara/cloth offer excellent comfort and support, while the multifunction flat-bottom steering wheel, R-branded instruments, and ambient lighting create a performance-oriented atmosphere. Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment with Bluetooth and DAB, parking sensors.

As a five-door model, this Golf R adds another layer of practicality. With a spacious rear cabin, ISOFIX mounting points, and a generous boot, it easily accommodates passengers and luggage without sacrificing its sporting edge. This makes it a rare breed—an all-weather, all-occasion car that’s as capable on a weekend road trip as it is on a daily commute or school run.

In terms of ownership, our 2016 Golf R represents exceptional value in the performance car market. With strong residual values, relatively low running costs for its performance level, and Volkswagen’s reputation for engineering integrity, it appeals not just to enthusiasts but also to those seeking a more refined, understated alternative to traditional performance hatchbacks.

Our 2016 Volkswagen Golf R is, quite simply, a masterclass in versatility and performance. It blends hot hatch thrills with executive-class composure, and it does so in a way that few rivals can truly match. For drivers who want one car to do it all—fast, fun, practical, and discreet—the Golf R remains one of the most compelling choices on the road.
