VW Golf R MK7 vs MK7.5: What's The Difference?

Рет қаралды 623,014

Күн бұрын

I compare both the MK7 Golf R and the MK7.5 Golf R to explain the differences as a result of the facelift. Please note that these are only the main differences; deep down the MK7.5 benefits from multiple upgrades/changes compared to the MK7. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video and find it informative!

Ever since I bought my MK7.5 Golf R, I've been inundated with questions asking what the differences are between the MK7.5 & MK7. Please note that, like I mentioned in the video, this video only contains the main differences. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video and find it informative! :-)

I think really to summerise, it's the extra gear with the DSG which is the major difference, slightly more power and torque, the digital dashboard, and LED headlights. Everything else is the same.

Prefer the 7.5 interior but have to say prefer the aesthetics of the 7. There's one main reason for that. You can buy a cooking version Golf and spec an 'R-Design' kit for it. The R-Design bumpers look almost identical to the R. So many times I've mistaken, at a distance, a basic Golf 7.5 with an R-Design kit for an actual R. It's demeaned the proper MK7.5 R.

Must say as a 2014 Mk7 R owner I found this video very interesting. One thing to add to the changes between the cars is the location of the ACC sensor. On the Mk7 it is located in the plastic panel below the grill, on the 7.5 it is hidden behind the VW badge on the bonnet. Personally speaking the styling of the 7.5 is just that bit sharper than its predecessor and the digital dash is most impressive.

Enjoyed your video, Luke, good job as always. Looking to upgrade my Mk 7 GTI to a Mk 7.5 R before the Mk 8 R comes out in 2022 here in Canada. I suspect the MK 8 R will have the same switcheroo to full digital-touch-everything and dispense with proper knobs, as VW has unfortunately done to the Mk 8 GTI. Has anyone commented on the folding mirrors in your comparison? The Mk 7's are manually folding whereas the Mk 7.5's are automatically folding when you kill the engine. I think that's worth mentioning here and a nice upgrade. Keep up the good work, Luke. Cheers!

Thank you for posting this video! I’ve got a 2019 Golf R, and have been wondering about the differences between the MK7 and MK7.5. I live in one of the largest cities in the US (really pisses me off that ours only get 288 bhp instead of 306, but my stage 1 tune fixed that) and these cars are exceedingly rare- to such a degree that in the last year since I’ve owned this car, I’ve only seen 2 others- an MK7 and a MK7.5. I noticed a few differences when I saw the MK7, but it’s hard to really see them unless you’ve got them side by side. Either way, I am so glad I was able to get my hands on an MK7.5.

Good Vid mate. Would have been good to see what you thought of the drive difference. My wife has mk7 gti and I have 7.5 R. I believe the 7.5 is supposed to be a more rigid chassis, not really that noticeable, but I can’t believe the how the steering is so much different in the 7.5. It’s so much lighter and has a bit better feel to it. Makes it easier to drive fast.

The problem is the emblem is different than other GOLFs.. I noticed that in most volkswagens the emblem is exposed and you can just pop it off with a screwdriver. On my 2019 Golf R the front emblem appears to be protected by a thing plastic dome. Do you know if that dome just clips in as well? On the video it looks like your emblem is also covered by a dome.

Think this video has sorted part of my next buy this year .. Are the mirrors different? Looks like they were automated on the 7.5. Also I was originally, um and uh on the change from analog to digital gauges.. but I realised, it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to keep clean a digital 'screen'. (The headlights def look so much better on the 7.5!) I'm between getting the 7.5 Golf R and the AMG A45 (similarly priced models) this year. It really will come down to factors like, what do I really want vs need. Comfort vs Speed, Internal setup, fuel economy, features that the cars come with, etc. Which with research in the last few months tend to lean very much so, towards the Golf.

It’s very interesting, I own a 2018 TSI, which should in theory be a mk7.5, but the only similarity between my car and your car is that my radio has capacitive touch buttons rather than normal analong/tactical buttons. I don’t have the virtual cockpit, upgraded headlights (US, so no fancy taillights here), or a 7th gear. TSIs also don’t have the ability to turn off traction control, and therefor don’t have launch control which I always found weird because it’s just a button, but I get it, not a performance model. But a shame that I lost all the quality of life improvements.

Thanks so much Eddie! Sure, Golf R vs S3 coming soon :) Will also get the running costs video filmed soon too!

I just bought an R and just wanted to say dont buy the S3, you can get all that in the R for about 10k cheaper. With the s3 you’re paying for the audi logo imo

8:50 you can get the same infotainment system of the 7.5 on the 7 as a optional extra

@joez6272 2 ай бұрын

Suprised your 7.5 doesn’t come as standard push and start button rather than key start, here in Australia almost all 7.5 comes with that and sunroof which is a cool feature

Is your 7.5 a 2018? Any idea how much they would be to buy now?

If you buy a MK7 Golf R with over 40K on the clock please make sure the DSG box has had it's oil and filter changed. Same for the Haldex system. This can prevent big problems and big bills. I have a MK7 DSG R and it is the fastest most comfortable best balanced and reliable car I have ever had. In six years of ownership, repair wise it has had a new water pump seal and a new speed sensor on one of the wheels. Love the thing, and it can relax you totally one minute and blow your mind the next.

Can you compare 2 non R Golfs, like 2 highlines MK7?

@khfjvc4632 5 жыл бұрын

Did you drive it? Could you notice the extra 10bhp? And does the dsg, especially the 7speed, make the allready quick manual golf into a very quick car?

@bobafetts 5 жыл бұрын

You can't notice the difference between the MK7.5 and the MK7 power wise. DSG is quicker to 60 by 1/2 a second than the manual...

is a golf r facelift under something else or does it fall under golf r when you search it up on auto trader?

@haiqaljohari5597 5 жыл бұрын

The way it looks , the MK 7.5 way way better than the MK 7.

Having both cars next to eachother helps too!

@ericmichel3857 5 жыл бұрын

You guys are ridiculous, it is the exact same car only with a slightly different albeit nicer screen. If that is what you call "massive" well... The only thing I really notice about those two are the wheels and the black plastic bits tacked on to the front, and honestly well they look tacky, I rather prefer the older style.

Ok so why dont both those cars have button start? Is it an option? I have a R 7 DSG with leather seats which are awesome but Its a remote key working on a proximity so i can leave it in my pocket and just start the car straight away.

My dad just bought a black golf r estate mk7 and the seats look very nice with the grey Alcantara and if it didn’t have it I think it would look very plane and boring.
