Volkswagen has officially launched the Tiguan R-Line in India, offering buyers a sportier take on the premium SUV. Priced at Rs. 49 lakh (ex-showroom), this new model comes in a single, fully loaded variant and has already started arriving at dealerships across the country. Let’s take a closer look at what the Tiguan R-Line brings to the table.
Design
The Tiguan R-Line stands out immediately with its sporty design details. Finished in the striking Oyster Silver Metallic in press images, the SUV is offered in a total of six colours:
- Oyster Silver Metallic
- Persimmon Red Metallic
- Nightshade Blue Metallic
- Oryx White Mother of Pearl Effect
- Cipressino Green Metallic
- Grenadilla Black Metallic
With exclusive R-Line touches and aggressive body styling, it gives off a more athletic vibe than the standard Tiguan. One of the key design features includes the full-width LED light bar on the front grille, which pairs well with the sharp LED headlamps.
Engine
Powering the Tiguan R-Line is the familiar 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TSI turbo-petrol engine. It churns out 201bhp and 320Nm of torque, and comes mated to a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission.
Volkswagen claims the SUV can deliver a mileage of 12.58kmpl, which is decent for a performance-oriented petrol SUV of this size.
Here’s a snapshot of the powertrain:
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission | Mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L TSI Petrol | 201bhp | 320Nm | 7-speed DSG | 12.58kmpl |
The combination of punchy performance and smooth gear shifts makes the Tiguan R-Line a practical yet exciting SUV for city and highway drives.
