James has a chance to drive the all-new 2023 Volkswagen Golf R during the winter to see if you can have just as much fun with it when it snows.

Volkswagen has updated the Golf R for the 2023 model year moving on to the Mk8 chassis. This vehicle has gotten a number of updates including more power out of the 2.0L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, new safety technology, a new digital-forward interior design, tuning suited for the Nurburgring, and a new drift mode to name a few updates. Currently the VW Golf R is only available in white blue, and black here in North America.

James goes over the exterior design and features of the car along with his thoughts on the interior. The lack of buttons is a new design trait for Volkswagen putting all but shortcut menu buttons into the centre infotainment system.

We then take the 2023 Volkswagen Golf R on a winter road test to see how this hot hatch performs in Québec's winter, along with everything else potential buyers would need to know if they're in the market for this vehicle.
