If you're looking for a new or pre-owned Golf car in Quebec, you might be hesitating between the GTI and the R, and between a newer or older model based on your budget and needs. The question is: which Golf to choose in Canada? Two exceptional sedans that have travelled our roads for many years, they continue to improve and evolve to offer the best of German engineering.
It's no surprise they have both been named “Car of the Year” by Motor Trend! Returning with enhanced technologies and a refreshed design, these performance-oriented Volkswagen sedans are sure to win you over. Don't hesitate to come see them up close or book your test drive at Complexe VW 440 in Laval, on the North Shore of Montreal, near Terrebonne and Montreal-North.
A quick look at the Golf GTI specs sheet shows its balanced blend of practicality, performance, and everyday usability. Powered by a 4-cylinder TSI delivering 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, it offers a dynamic, composed drive along with a technological, modern, and spacious cabin.
In Canada, the Golf GTI comes in two very comprehensive trims, with a starting price of $40,088.
Sharing the same generous hatchback silhouette and a 4-cylinder TSI, the Golf R ups the output in Canada to 328 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of maximum torque, and pairs it with the efficient 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. It remains very spacious and comfortable for the family while delivering the spirited, engaging driving experience many drivers seek. It's an ideal pick if you don't want to compromise between practicality and performance.
If you choose a Golf on the pre-owned market, rest assured you won't be disappointed. All Volkswagen Canada models are engineered for durability and reliability, so you can buy a used model with confidence. Along with notable savings, you may even access trims that are no longer available on the new market today.
If you're torn between the Golf GTI and the Golf R, note that, either way, you can't go wrong with a Volkswagen Golf in Canada. If you want the ideal balance of price, performance, and practicality, choose the GTI. If a more performance-oriented, dynamic drive is your priority, the Golf R will fit the bill.
Choosing a Golf car new versus pre-owned will significantly affect price. Many factors also come into play, such as model year, trim, mileage, and overall condition. As a rough guide, a pre-owned 2016 Volkswagen Golf in Canada can be found for as little as $10,000, rising to around $22,000 for a 2021 model in good condition —and even higher for a Golf R.
Both trims of the Golf R come with the highly effective 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.
Golf GTI for a strong balance of practicality, price, and performance; Golf R for performance without compromise.
Absolutely. With regular maintenance it can exceed 300,000 km, even 400,000 km.
If you plan on keeping it long term, aim for a model with 150,000 km to 200,000 km.
