Feature
The latest Tiguan model is anticipated to be available at dealerships by the first quarter of 2024. Volkswagen continues its tradition of making advanced technology accessible to a wider audience, with features like the DCC Pro and new hybrid engines capable of approximately 100 km of electric range
The R Line is a trim level offered by Volkswagen on many of its models. The "R" in R Line stands for "Racing," and this trim level includes sportier design features and sometimes performance enhancements compared to the standard versions of the vehicles.
R Line models are visually distinguished by unique exterior styling cues, which may include a more aggressive front and rear bumper design, side skirts, a rear diffuser, a unique grille, larger alloy wheels, and R Line badging.
Inside, they often feature sportier seats (on most of their models), a sports steering wheel, stainless steel pedal covers, and other exclusive details.
Volkswagen has three R models: the R line, R Line edition, and R.
The R model is one of the best in the R range. The R is the top model, with prices starting from £50,445. It is made for people who want the best performance features, like the all-wheel drive - 4Motion option and 21-inch Estoril Black alloy wheels, which makes it ideal for the buyers who are more after the performance.
Compared to the R Line Edition, the R Line is similar but has a few more features that make driving better and help the drivers stand out on the road. These extra features include 20-inch Misano Alloy wheels, bigger than the 19-inch Valencia Alloy wheels. The R Line also has a Lane change system Side Assist and a Proactive Passenger Protection system, which the R Line edition doesn't have.

While the base model Tiguan has a simpler exterior, the Tiguan R-Line elevates its aesthetic with enhanced features and design elements. When compared to competitors such as the BMW X1 they each have their distinct appeals. Given its price point, the VW Tiguan R-Line offers remarkable value with its striking design. Carefully crafted, each detail amplifies its distinct charm and functionality. Its chrome trim and sporty look are standout features. Additionally, the car showcases a unique twin trapezoid design on the lower bumper, which accentuates its bold frontal appearance. The chrome surrounds on the side windows not only enhance the car's elegance but also offer durability.
The R-Line comes with advanced LED headlights that can adjust themselves. These not only make the car look good, but also help you see better when driving at night, making your drive safer.
What's more, the R-Line has its special styling pack. This includes a unique front and rear bumper design that gives the car a sporty look. But it doesn't stop at the looks. This special design also improves the car's performance and fuel efficiency by making it more aerodynamic.
In short, the outside of the VW Tiguan R-Line is more than just good looks. It's a car that knows that the first impression counts and what's on the outside matters just as much as what's on the inside.
Yes, the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line does come with a roof spoiler. Moreover, it's body-coloured and the car also has a rear spoiler for added style.
The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is around 4.7 meters long, providing ample space for comfort and storage.
Dynamic headlight range control adjusts the light distribution to give optimal illumination of the roadway, depending on the load of the Tiguan.
High Beam Assist automatically adjusts your high beams when it detects oncoming traffic or a car ahead of you in the same lane, ensuring safer and stress-free driving at night.
Stepping inside the VW Tiguan R-Line, you're greeted by an interior that echoes the simple elegance of the exterior. A blend of style and functionality, the interior has been meticulously designed to offer an outstanding driving experience.
Comparing the R line interior with the baseline, it presents a luxurious feel with its premium black seats and dashboard.
One thing in all the Tiguans is the inbuilt infotainment system placed at the heart of their cockpits, acting as a centrepiece. Its seamless edges are cleverly designed to blend into the dashboard when not in use. When active, it presents a high-quality display for all your infotainment needs.
Our car expert talks about what differentiates the R-Line from the rest:
“The R-Line has this lovely little detail where you'll spot the 'R' embroidered onto its seats and steering wheel. It's a sporty nod that adds a touch of class. When you settle into those plush black seats and grip that distinct 'R' steering wheel, you truly sense the perfect balance of comfort and performance.”
Additional features that enhance the luxurious feel of the Tiguan R-Line include the black roof lining and carbon grey inserts in the dashboard and door panels, which add a touch of elegance. Chrome-plated electric window button surrounds to bring a touch of sophistication, while the heated leather-trimmed three-spoke multifunction capacitive touch-sensitive steering wheel and gear knob ensure every journey is a pleasure.
Features such as heated front seats, distinctive R-Line carpet mats, and door sill protectors enhance comfort and visual appeal.
The use of steel-plated paddles can be somewhat subjective. It's an unusual choice for a car in this category, yet it perfectly complements its performance-oriented nature.
Overall, the R-Line interior demonstrates that style and practicality can coexist, delivering a driving experience that's both pleasurable and chic.
Yes, all the Volkswagen Tiguan comes with Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
Auto DSG refers to the Direct-Shift Gearbox, which is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox, without a conventional clutch pedal. The R-line has a heated leather-trimmed three-spoke multifunction capacitive touch-sensitive steering wheel and gear knob, whereas the R model comes without DSG.
Yes, the R line does come with heated seats. However, it's worth noting that the base model of Tiguan Life does not have this feature. Only the front seats are heated in the R line.
The front sports seats come with integrated headrests and are embossed with the R logo. This makes them distinct from standard seats, providing a sportier look and feel.
Regarding performance, the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line firmly holds its own against competitors in its segment, such as the Mazda CX-5 and Audi Q3. Its versatile engine lineup ensures that there's a variant tailored to meet the specific desires of every motorist, whether that's a quest for sheer power or a greener, comfortable ride.
The base model Tiguan R-Line is powered by a 1.5-litre TSI EVO 2WD petrol engine paired with a 7-speed auto DSG transmission. Producing 150 horsepower and emitting 163 g/km of CO2, it's a choice our experts recommend for those desiring a harmonious blend of efficiency and everyday performance.
For enthusiasts craving greater thrust, the R-Line's 2.0-litre TFSI 4Motion variant is tempting. With its 7-speed auto DSG, this variant pushes out an impressive 190 horsepower while slightly refining its emission to 187 g/km. It confidently secures its spot amongst the high-performing SUVs in the UK market.
But for true enthusiasts who thirst for unmatched power, the R model is the pinnacle. Boasting a staggering 320 horsepower, it's distinctly for those who demand nothing but the best.
The environmentally-conscious will find solace in the R-Line's 1.4-litre TSI eHybrid. A fusion of petrol and electric power delivered through a 6-speed auto DSG, it offers 245 horsepower. What's truly remarkable is its low emission figure of just 41 g/km.
Still, for individuals who are environmentally aware but lean towards traditional fuel sources, diesel remains a strong contender. The R-Line's offerings, the 2.0-litre TDI 2WD and 2.0-litre TDI 4MOTION, cater to this preference, delivering 150 and 200 horsepower respectively and emitting between 150 to 171 g/km of CO2.
Motorfinity car expert Cameron Jones shares his opinion based on the performance of the Tiguan:
"In the realm of performance, the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line doesn't just participate; it dominates. The R-Line's signature "R" embroidery on its seats and steering wheel isn't just a detail—it's a statement. A blend of sporty elegance and driving prowess, it's where plush black seats meet the distinguished R steering wheel."
The car gives you the feel of a fancy SUV. When you sit in the back, it feels like a fancy SUV: big inside, feeling spacious, and looking great.
Coming to legroom comfort, the car is comfortable enough, making it good for both short and long trips.
What truly elevates the R-Line model is its premium upholstery, featuring the exclusive Greyson cloth paired with soft Art velour microfleece. Potential buyers searching for "luxury SUV seating" will find the Tiguan R-Line a perfect match.
Beyond comfort, the Tiguan R-Line is a paragon of practicality. An exceptional boot capacity of 615 litres with the rear seats in place means more room for your essentials, be it holiday luggage or a hefty shopping spree. It's this blend of comfort and functional design that truly amplifies
Our car expert, Oli Bentley, sums up the comfortability factor of this model:
“The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is more than just a car on the road. It feels like you're wrapped up in a luxurious adventure, showing that an SUV can really give you the best of both worlds: a cosy ride and real-life practicality.”
When we say that the Volkswagen Tiguan R Line is not just leading the eco-friendly SUV charge, it's defining it; then we're not overstating. The Plug-in hybrid variant in the R line is surely a powerful statement of Volkswagen's commitment to the environment.
When measured by the "well-to-wheel" concept, the Tiguan holds its own against competitors.
While there may be room for improvement in certain manufacturing aspects, the Tiguan R-Line's emissions are undeniably top-tier. Specifically, the plug-in hybrid variant boasts emissions as low as 41, whereas fuel models range between 150 and 203, with the latter corresponding to larger engine sizes. Comparing it with other plugin hybrids it surely does have a place of its own.
What truly distinguishes the Tiguan R-Line, however, is Volkswagen's comprehensive approach to sustainability. It's clear they're not merely producing vehicles but are on a mission to innovate the entire automotive supply chain.
Volkswagen is delving deep into addressing challenges such as mineral depletion and ecotoxicity throughout their production. Check our blog for a deeper insight into how Volkswagen shaping the future of sustainable transportation.
When evaluating a car's environmental impact, it's crucial to look beyond basic metrics like emissions and delve into the intricacies of the supply chain. As Thomas Becker, the sustainability head at BMW, articulates:
Volkswagen comprehends the significance of refining the supply chain. However, it's worth noting that revolutionising supply chains can pose greater challenges for automotive giants like VW compared to smaller brands.
As outlined by Supply Chain Digital, Volkswagen is championing supply chain efficiency through an industry-wide data exchange, consistently positioning themselves at the forefront of this initiative and reducing the sustainability risk.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of consumers.
With the entry-level 'Life' model priced at £30,855 and the performance-centric Volkswagen Tiguan R at the premium end at £50,455, it's evident that this model is pitched to cater to a variety of tastes and budgets. Whether for a family or an individual seeking performance, the Tiguan has something to offer.
The R-line model starts from £37,455. However, if you are eligible for Motorfinity's exclusive discount, you can save £6,164 and get it from just £30,481. *
But how does the Tiguan stack up when compared to Volkswagen's expansive SUV lineup?
As the entry point to the Volkswagen SUV range, the Taigo is priced at £24,260. It's the most budget-friendly option and is aimed at those who want a compact yet stylish SUV.
A step up from the Taigo, the T-Roc is priced at £27,045. It offers a blend of design, functionality, and affordability.
Tiguan: Positioned in the mid-range, the Tiguan strikes a balance between luxury and practicality, especially considering its varied models and price points.
With its larger footprint and added features, it's priced slightly higher than the standard Tiguan.
The Volkswagen Tiguan confidently sits in the middle of Volkswagen's SUV range, bridging the gap between compact SUVs like the Taigo and T-Roc, and the more advanced, spacious offerings like the Allspace and electric variants ID.4 and ID.5.
It's the perfect mid-point for those wanting a blend of luxury, space, and affordability.
The Volkswagen Tiguan R Line, being a premium trim of the Tiguan series, comes with several advanced features and performance components that could potentially lead to higher maintenance costs than base models.
Maintenance costs can be influenced by several factors, such as parts and components, specialised services, wear and tear, location, and preventive care.
When you look at the Volkswagen Tiguan's on-road prices, there's quite a range. The powerful 2.0-litre models, with their strong engines, cost more. You might pay up to £2,035 extra for these.
If you're looking at petrol models, they'll cost you an extra £1,245. Diesel models start from £945 extra. The ones with a really strong 200-horsepower engine cost up to £1,585 extra.
The plug-in hybrids are different. They only cost an extra £690, which is great if you want to save money and be kinder to the environment.
In short, Tiguan's on-road price depends on what you want from the car. Whether you're after power, saving money on fuel, or helping the planet, there's a model for you. But remember, the better the features, the higher the cost.
