The Volkswagen R is one of the Volkswagen entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 2002, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.
Family and rivals
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Honda Accord, the Mazda Mazda6, the Porsche Cayenne. Its Volkswagen stablemates include the Volkswagen Apollo and the Volkswagen Routan.
The money
On the used market today a Volkswagen R typically changes hands for $16,400–$30,300, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $4,752–$6,848 a year. Insurance sits around $1,240–$1,940 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
The record
The open record for the Volkswagen R carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
