Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line exterior design
Since the Tiguan R-Line is a newer-generation model, it looks starkly different from the Tiguan currently sold in India. Up front, the Tiguan R-Line has sleeker headlights with a connected LED strip, and lower down, there's a massive mesh-patterned air dam with a silver lip. Given the sporty proclivities of Volkswagen’s R-Line models, chrome is used to a minimum on the Tiguan’s fascia.
19-inch wheels as standard
Over to the side, the Tiguan R-Line comes with 19-inch alloy wheels and uses a rather sparse body cladding. The rear, meanwhile, features a large light bar with a smoked effect and a roof spoiler up above. The SUV has six colour options on offer: Cipressino Green Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, Nightshade Blue Metallic, Oryx White Mother of Pearl Effect, Oyster Silver Metallic and Persimmon Red Metallic.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line interior and features
The Tiguan R-Line’s cabin has an all-black colour scheme with blue stitching on the dashboard and sports seats. Atop the centre console, there's a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that incorporates the climate control functions and offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Meanwhile, a three-spoke steering wheel with ‘R’ badging sits right in front of the driver, and further ahead is a 10.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster.
Tiguan R-Line feature list
Other nifty goodies offered in the Tiguan R-Line include a panoramic sunroof, 30-colour ambient lighting, tri-zone climate control, brushed stainless steel pedals, massaging front seats, wireless charging for up to two phones, and Level 2 ADAS. The India-spec Tiguan R-Line is also equipped with Volkswagen’s Park Assist Plus tech, which can search for suitable parking spaces and execute parking manoeuvers without any intervention from the driver.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line powertrain and performance
Volkswagen has endowed the Tiguan R-Line with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing a healthy 204hp and 320Nm of torque. Routing this grunt to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Tiguan R Line can dispatch the 0-100kph run in a claimed 7.1 seconds and carry on to a top speed of 229kph.
