The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is a sportier version of the SUV, which is set to launch in India on April 14. The car will be available only with a 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine, producing 201 bhp peak power and 320 Nm of peak torque, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox or a six-speed manual transmission. The Tiguan R-Line will be sold as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) in India.
The car’s design features full HD Matrix LED headlights connected by a lightbar, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a long list of color options. Inside, the SUV will come with a new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.1-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system based on the latest MIB4 UI.
The Tiguan R-Line is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, which was delisted from the official website ahead of the launch. The new SUV will compete with luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, and Audi Q3 among others.
The car can be booked on the automaker’s official website or dealerships. The booking process is already open, and the car is expected to be launched on April 14. The price of the Tiguan R-Line is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be in the range of ₹40-50 lakh (ex-showroom).
