Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 Now Available To Lease

The brand new 2021 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 is finally available to lease. Rated as the most powerful Golf R model yet, the newest Mk8 model ups the hot hatch game with blistering performance and a host of exterior and interior upgrades. 

What's new with the Volkswagen Golf R Mk8?

The 2021 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 has plenty of new kit to keep you entertained. To start off, the Mk8 produces 316bhp which is 10bhp more than the previous version. Those extra 10 horses give the Mk8 a higher torque figure, meaning it's more exciting to drive when you put your foot down.

The ride height has been lowered by 20mm which has increased steering response and input when cornering. A new traction system has been introduced named the 'R-Performance Torque Vectoring', which is able to send more torque to the rear wheels and reduce understeer.

Inside the 2021 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8 has had numerous changes. The steering wheel has been lavishly updated with easy-to-reach paddle shifters and a brand new 'R' button to access Race mode. All your systems info is now found via the 10-inch touchscreen Discover Navigation system and fully digital cockpit behind the wheel.

The standard Sardegna cloth upholstery sports seats are comfortable enough for extended journeys, but you can opt for fine Nappa leather upholstery if you prefer the extra comfort. The Golf R Mk8 doesn't come with a reversing camera as standard but it can be added on as optional spec. You get front and rear parking sensors as standard which should cover that area.

On the outside, the car has been updated to the latest Mk8 styling, with a performance rear spoiler as standard and 'R' rear diffuser with twin oval chrome exhausts. These exhausts can be updated to an Akrapovic titanium sport exhaust system if you opt for the R Performance package.

This package also unlocks your top speed from a limited 155mph to a maximum of 168mph. Standard alloys are the 18" Jerez black diamonds, but you can opt for the 19" Estoril alloys for an extra price.
