The Volkswagen Golf R hybrid will be launched in 2023 and will receive a power of 410 hp.
In 2014, the head of the development department of the VW power plant, Heinz-Jacob Neuser, announced that this car would go into production. Six years have passed since then, and now the rumors about the Golf 400 launch are gaining momentum again.
According to the Australian portal Which car ?, Volkswagen finally intends to regain its position in the sports hatchback segment thanks to the new Golf R. In 2017, Honda introduced the 316 horsepower Civic Type R, Hyundai got the i30 N of 275 horsepower in the same year. Do not forget the Mercedes-AMG A45 S with its 2.0-liter engine with 421 HP.
It is not easy to compete with these cars for the ordinary Golf Type R, and the Golf Type R + hybrid will defend the honor of the brand in the future. Under the hood, it will have a hybrid power plant, which will include the same 2.0-liter turbo engine, an electric motor on the rear axle, as well as a high-voltage battery in the foot area of the rear passengers. The total capacity of the system will be 410 hp.

According to his colleagues, the idea of this concept for the Golf R + was discussed at Volkswagen’s headquarters in Wolfsburg, and the head of the VW Group, Herbert Diss, said that he was his supporter. However, it is not yet clear when this project will be implemented.
Foreign colleagues write that we are again talking about the long term and that Golf R + may appear no sooner than 2023. The debut may be postponed until 2024, when the German hatchback will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GTI modification.
