Helpful Expert Reply:
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7332 is an excellent option for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf R. It can be used for towing but you'll also need a trailer wiring harness and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter part # C59236. For the ball mount/hitch ball, you'll need to measure to get this right. I have attached an article below.
If the Curt Ball Mount part # C45112 ends up being correct you can use the Curt Pin and Clip part # C21500 to secure it. I also recommend the Curt 2" Hitch Ball part # 40038.
