Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has announced that the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R is finally on sale in the country, at a retail price of RM334,012 on-the-road without insurance. The price does however come with a Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP), which provides owners with a five-year maintenance and five-year unlimited mileage warranty as well as five years of roadside assistance; without it, the car costs RM317,434.
The CKD version makes its debut nine months after it was first previewed here, and does so with the kit as specified then. As mentioned previously, it’s locally assembled in Pekan, making it the first time the flagship Golf variant has been assembled outside of Germany. The car first made its way on to the local scene in CBU form back in 2022.
The CKD model comes with a R Performance package as standard, and this is made up of an Akrapovic titanium exhaust, a rear spoiler, 19-inch ‘Estoril’ alloy wheels with 235/35R19 tyres as well as Drift and Special drive modes. The latter joins the existing selection of Comfort, Sport, Race, and Individual available for the car.
Standard fit items include a sports suspension, full automatic LED headlights, LED DRLs and tail lights, keyless entry with push-button ignition and a rear view camera with front and rear parking sensors. Meanwhile, the interior kit list includes a 10-inch Discover Pro system, a 10-speaker, 480 watt Harman Kardon sound system and a wireless smartphone charging pad.
Also to be found is three-zone air-conditioning, active climate front seats (with electric adjustment and lumbar adjustment for the driver), a multi-function leather sports steering wheel with shift paddles, a head-up display and ambient lighting with five preset themes.
Power continues to be provided by an EA888 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol inline-four cylinder TSI engine offering 320 PS at 5,600 to 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque, available from 2,000 to 5,600 rpm.
Drive is transmitted to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel-drive, and it’s all good enough to haul the R to 100 km/h from standstill in 4.8 seconds on to an electronically-controlled 250 km/h top speed.
Safety and driver assistance equipment includes seven airbags (front, front side, curtain and one centre) and IQ.Drive, which brings Travel Assist with adaptive cruise control (ACC), side assist with rear cross traffic alert, front assist, emergency assist, and lane assist.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
ICE performance car era is over. EVs can match 0-100 times at half the cost.
At that price can buy you a BYD Seal with spares to pay for several years of charging fees… Not losing out on performance. I think so
VW resale normally bleeds the lot
But luckily EV bleeds even more
Byd Seal pickup fast only, on highway even Myvi can tiong and overtake it. Laugh die me when i saw it
Enjoy your 75% depreciation in 5 years.
Least stupid and insecure EV fantard only have their iPad screens and 0-100 specs to flex. But y’all don’t care about that or the terrible mining procedures since y’all gonna change cars everytime it’s tech get obsolete.
laughs in tesla 3 performance
No more power. When batt drop below 70%
Nothing fancy to shout about. i mean 2024 already……
Well, at least ICE users don’t need to wait 30 to 60 mins at a DC Charger just to recharge the batteries. Not to mention that ICE Cars typically have higher top speed than EVs.
Tesla M3P 0 to 100 in 3.1 sec, top speed 265km/h.
Golf R….hahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHA… ICE is dead, just admit it. this kind of performance with 330K? MG4 can do it just RM150k
Five years ago this would’ve been great, but it’s too expensive for this era of cars in Malaysia. Golf R is the ultimate daily-able hot hatch but this one doesn’t even have 360 camera?
I see so many complain like they car specialist driving circuit everyday. I think just buy your McLaren if you have money if don’t have buy BuyYouDie car. If got free come visit my shop at behing Kuchai Entrepreneur Park look for Heng Kee shop with red sign board I sell best prawn mee in the world.

sleeping and waking up with massive depreciation…Sealy you…
Compare to used Golf R, prices are still in the 6 figures, even for Golf R Mk6..
A good car with bad brand reputation. I have a VW and the car is great to drive with good power delivery. But the oil and coolant leaking is really frustrate with many engine components consist of “plastic” that tend to spoilt after 5 years. After warranty each time repair also cost nearly thousand and need to leave car for few days.
My next car gonna be EV, hassle free of car repair. I dont care about resales value (since I got VW now also bad resales value).
