The 2012 Volkswagen Golf R, which goes on sale early next year in the U.S., is priced from $34,760 for the two-door hatchback and $36,860 for the four-door hatchback.

• Volkswagen bills the 2012 Golf R as the "heir" to the 2008 R32.
• The new Golf R has more power and torque and better fuel economy than the R32.

HERNDON, Virginia — The 2012 Volkswagen Golf R, which goes on sale early next year in the U.S., is priced from $34,760 for the two-door hatchback and $36,860 for the four-door hatchback. Prices include a $770 shipping charge.
Volkswagen bills the 2012 Golf R as the "heir" to the 2008 R32 and "the most powerful VW sports performance vehicle ever sold in the U.S." In fact, the latest hot rod Golf boasts not only more power and torque than its predecessor, but also better fuel economy.
The 2012 Golf R is powered by a high-output version of VW's familiar 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which delivers 256 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. Driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, the Golf R is rated by the EPA at 19 mpg in city driving and 27 mpg on the highway.
In comparison, the 2008 VW R32 was priced at $32,990 plus shipping. It featured a 3.2-liter V6 engine rated at 250 hp and 236 lb-ft, and was mated to a six-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox. The EPA fuel-economy figures were 18 mpg/city and 23 mpg/highway.
[i][i][i]Inside Line says: More power, better fuel economy and only a modest bump in price — what's not to like? ? ?
