Performance

McMinnville drivers: the 2026 Golf GTI delivers quick turbo power to the front wheels and feels light and manuverable, with steering and braking that make back roads fun to navigate. If you want the highest level of performance, the 2026 Golf R raises the bar with stronger output and 4MOTION all-wheel drive that helps put power down confidently, especially when roads are wet or temperatures drop. It's the kind of hatchback that can feel calm on a commute and sharp when you're in the mood to have fun.

Interior

Both models keep the Golf formula that drivers love: a comfortable cabin, great outward visibility, and room for five with cargo space to spare. The sport seating and airy layout make it easy to settle in, and the hatchback cargo area is practical for everyday life. The Golf R adds a more premium, performance-focused feel with sport accents and supportive seats that are ready for spirited driving without being over-the-top for daily use.

Exterior

The 2026 GTI brings bold, clean styling that looks sporty without demanding attention. The 2026 Golf R takes that same compact hatchback design and adds a more serious edge with bold wheels, a more performance-forward look, and subtle cues that hint at the impressive performance. With a handful of covers to consider, you can make the Volkswagen Golf your own.

Technology

The 2026 lineup of Volkswagen Golf models is built around modern connectivity and driver-friendly tech. Both models feature a large central touchscreen and digital displays that keep key info clear and easy to find. You can also count on everyday essentials like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for music, messages, and navigation through your phone. Add in available convenience features like wireless charging, and the Golf GTI and Golf R feel ready for real life, whether you're headed across Salem or driving out of town.

Safety

Confidence matters, and the 2026 Golf lineup supports it with a strong set of driver-assist features. Depending on model and equipment, you can expect helpful systems such as forward-collision warning with automatic braking, lane-keeping support, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. These features are designed to help reduce stress in traffic and add peace of mind on longer highway drives.
