Looking for a sporty SUV? Consider waiting for the Tiguan R-Line. Here's what it has to offer
- Volkswagen is about to introduce a sporty SUV in the Indian markets soon and it will come to the country as a completely built-up (CBU) unit.
Volkswagen India is gearing up to launch the new-generation Tiguan R-Line SUV on April 14, 2025. The range-topping variant of the Tiguan will arrive as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and is the first of two upcoming VW models in India, with the Golf GTI set to follow. Here are the five key highlights of the new Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line.
The latest Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is underpinned by the MQB-Evo platform, making it 30 mm longer and 4 mm taller than its predecessor while retaining a 2,680 mm wheelbase. The new design features a more curvaceous exterior, enhancing aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of just 0.28 cd.
The Tiguan R-Line sports a bold front fascia with HD Matrix LED headlamps connected by a sleek lightbar. The aggressive bumper integrates side air openings for improved aerodynamics. At the rear, a distinctive black panel houses the taillight cluster. The SUV rides on striking 20-inch alloy wheels and carries ‘R’ badging on the front doors, setting it apart from the standard Tiguan.
Inside, the Tiguan R-Line offers a tech-rich experience with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a massive 15.1-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system powered by the latest MIB4 UI. The SUV continues to be a five-seater, offering a premium and spacious cabin.
The India-spec Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine that delivers 261 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, while a 6-speed manual variant, available globally, is unlikely to be offered in India.
