Dig the look of the Volkswagen Golf R, but can't
quite justify the price of admission? VW has you covered with its R-Line
packages. Now released for the recently updated Golf hatch and Golf Variant estate, the R-Line appearance packs get you most of the
performance model's style without the substance.
The basic option is the R-Line exterior package,
which includes new bumpers, side sills, rear spoiler, and special badges – all
of which give the new Golf a sportier look.
Those looking for a bit more, however, can spring
for the full R-Line package, which includes the aforementioned aero kit, plus
fresh wheels and interior upgrades. It comes with sport seats (upholstered
either in a sporty fabric or perforated leather), a chunkier steering wheel,
stainless-steel pedals, black headliner, and enhanced trim.
It'll even display an R-Line logo on the
infotainment screen on startup. Plus there are four wheel options to choose
from in 17- and 18-inch diameters. European pricing starts at € 1,105 for the
exterior package and € 1,800 for the full monte, and perhaps best of all, you
can get it with whatever engine option you want.
