Volkswagen Golf R32

Volkswagen Malaysia has started selling the top of the range Volkswagen Golf R32 in Malaysia, featuring a 3.2 liter V6 engine and 4MOTION all-wheel drive, with a price tag of RM302,618.50 on the road without insurance.

It does the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.2 seconds - 0.7 seconds faster than the Golf GTI , thanks to it’s 250 PS at 6,300rpm and 320Nm of torque that kicks in from 2,800rpm, a relatively low engine speed for a normally aspirated engine. Power is sent to all four wheels via 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a 6-speed DSG gearbox.

Other than the 4MOTION system, the car also has ESP stability control, Traction Control, ABS, and an Electronic Differential Lock to keep things into check. Passive safety is provided by 6 SRS airbags. The car rides on 18 inch wheels of the Omanyt design.

On the interior you have nice sports bucket seats, rain sensor wiper control, dual-zone climate control, and a 10-speaker Volkswagen Sound RCD 500 system with an 8-channel 250W analog amplifier.

There is an initial batch brought into Malaysia, but after that initial batch the Volkswagen Golf R32 will be on an order basis only - ordered when required.
