Volkswagen unveiled substantial upgrades to the car’s design. The front end now appears more powerful and distinctive thanks to its revamped LED Plus headlights and an illuminated VW logo—a first-time addition. Additionally, a larger rear spoiler enhances the vehicle's aerodynamics by ensuring maximum downforce, complemented by redesigned LED tail lights.
The new Clubsport rolls on "Queenstown” alloy wheels standard with a fresh pattern reminiscent of the iconic Detroit wheels from earlier generations. For those seeking optimized performance, "Warmenau" forged wheels are available as an optional feature. These wheels weigh only 8 kg each rim, helping to reduce unsprung masses and improve vehicle dynamics.
