Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line India Deliveries to Commence on April 23

Volkswagen India is set to begin deliveries of the new Tiguan R-Line on April 23, marking the arrival of the sportier, top-spec variant of its premium SUV. Bookings are open for a token amount of Rs 25,000. The R-Line, priced at Rs 48.99 lakh (ex-showroom), brings a more dynamic design, featuring sportier bumpers, exclusive alloy wheels, and interior enhancements that reflect the performance-oriented character of the R-Line badge. Positioned above the standard Tiguan, this variant continues to be powered by the same 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine paired with a seven-speed DSG and 4MOTION all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. The Tiguan R-Line is aimed at buyers looking for a blend of practicality, comfort, and a more aggressive styling package. With deliveries set to begin soon, Volkswagen is looking to attract premium SUV buyers seeking a more performance-inspired offering.

The Tiguan R-Line is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Power is distributed to all four wheels via Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. While the engine remains the same as the previous Tiguan, it now delivers a higher output of 201bhp and 320Nm of torque – an improvement of 14bhp. The SUV offers an ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency of 12.58km/l.

Adding to its performance credentials, the Tiguan R-Line features Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), which automatically adjusts the suspension's firmness based on the selected drive mode. This technology allows the SUV to adapt its ride and handling characteristics to suit different driving conditions, providing enhanced comfort and control.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line: Aggressive Styling

The latest iteration of the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line brings a more sculpted and sport-focused design, highlighted by a bold blacked-out aesthetic. This variant sports a full-width illuminated grille and sleek LED DRLs at the front, giving it a modern and connected look. A reworked front bumper with darker detailing adds to its assertive character, while subtle ‘R’ logos on the doors reinforce its sporty identity.

Along the profile, 19-inch angular alloy wheels and pronounced black cladding around the arches enhance its athletic look. Moving on to the rear profile, a single LED light bar stretches across the width, complemented by chrome accents that break up the otherwise stealthy theme.

Buyers can choose from six colour options: Oryx White Mother Of Pearl Effect, Oyster Silver Metallic, Persimmon Red Metallic, Cipressiono Green Metallic, Nightshade Blue Metallic, and Grenadilla Black Metallic.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line: Interior and Features

Inside, the cabin reflects Volkswagen’s latest design language, with a minimalist dashboard featuring layered black surfaces, gloss-black inserts, and silver highlights.

Black leatherette upholstery complements the premium, unified interior, while a 15-inch floating touchscreen serves as the main control hub.
