2022 VW Golf R Hot Hatch
8All-new Mk8 Golf models deliver the most dynamic driving experiences from the hot hatches yet, with more horsepower and new vehicle dynamics settings
Herndon, VA — Volkswagen of America, Inc. is proud to announce that Forbes Wheels has named the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R Sports Car of the Year.
“A genuine sports car triggers the lizard brain and nurtures a highly focused and instinctual conversion between driver and machine. In short, it makes driving fun and engaging, no matter the price,” writes Andrew Wendler, Assistant Editor Forbes Wheels. “By that measure, the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R stand shoulder to shoulder with sports cars of all stripes regardless of price.”
“We’re honored to have these models named Sports Car of the Year against stiff competition,” said Hein Schafer, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy, Volkswagen of America. “The previous Golf GTI and Golf R models were widely regarded as the best hot hatches you could buy, but the Mark 8 versions up the ante with more performance, better handling, more standard equipment and improved tech features compared to prior generations, yet minimal price increases.”
The 2022 Forbes Wheels Car of the Year nominees and winners were selected by a panel composed of four Forbes Wheels editors and eight contributors. Each of the seven Car of the Year categories—Crossovers, SUVs, Sedans, Pickups, Performance Cars, Minivans, Electrified—considers vehicles of varying sizes within each segment as well as mainstream and luxury offerings. The winner in each category rises above its peers for exhibiting outstanding attributes in performance, efficiency, safety, infotainment, comfort, cargo space and style. Vehicles eligible for nomination include any car or truck, new or existing, available for testing and in production during 2021 or early 2022.
