VW Tiguan R Line to be launched on April 14

For the Indian market, VW is likely to offer the 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a 7-speed DSG and the 4Motion all-wheel drive system.

Earlier this month, VW confirmed that it will bring the Tiguan R Line, along with the Golf GTI, in India but did not share an exact date. However, the German carmaker has now announced that the VW Tiguan R Line will be launched on April 14. It will be brought to the Indian shores via the CBU route and the bookings will be opened soon.

In the international markets, the VW Tiguan R Line comes in multiple engine options - a 1.5-litre petrol mild-hybrid, a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid, a 2.0-litre petrol and a 2.0-litre diesel. For the Indian market, VW is likely to offer the 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a 7-speed DSG and the 4Motion all-wheel drive system.

Being the range-topping variant, the VW Tiguan R Line has been given a more sporty treatment on the outside compared to the standard Tiguan. For example, there is a more aggressive front bumper with large vents and a gloss black fascia. The SUV also comes with LED light bars at the front and rear, as well as 19-inch alloy wheels.

On the inside, the VW Tiguan R Line has sports seats, a 3-spoke steering wheel, a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch central touchscreen.
