Australians will have full access to VW’s Golf R Wagon as of January 2018, the company confirmed in a recent pricing announcement.

Volkswagen Australia also announced that 300 examples each of the R Wolfsburg Edition hatch and wagon will be available this year, with pricing slightly higher than regular models.

When those 300 R wagons sell out, no more will be available until the regular wagon arrives next year.

Unfortunately, Australia still cops a power decrease compared to Euro-spec models, which come equipped with 228kW. This has, in the past, been blamed on Australia’s hot climate.

In the Wolfsburg Edition, new Golf R owners can expect 19-inch Pretoria alloys, Oryx White Pearl, Lapiz Blue Metallic, and Deep Black Pearl effect paint finishes, chrome roof rails, and Nappa leather upholstery inside.

A Wolfsburg R hatch will set new owners back $57,990, while a wagon is an extra $2K at $59,990. Both come with 7-speed DSG.

There’s also the optional ($1300) Driver Assistance Pack, which includes lane assist, rear traffic alert, and dynamic light assist among others.

All Golf R buyers will have the option of adding the $1900 panoramic sunroof.
