The Golf R goes head to head with the Arteon

VW Golf vs VW Arteon comparison

This is just another case of who wore it better

When we say "who wore it better", we actually refer to the 2.0 TSI engine, that provides 310 hp under the bonnet of the Golf and 280 hp for the Arteon.

Both cars in this video come with four-wheel drive as standard, as it should be because putting to work close to 300 hp is a tough job. Sure, the Golf has the advantage of being lighter than its bigger sibling, but still, the Arteon is quite impressive.

VW Golf R top speed

Also, both cars manage to reach speeds above 240 km/h (150 mph), which is again very good especially for a heavy car like the Arteon. Don't know which one to choose, just watch the video below to decide.
