Being a sports utility vehicle with a sporty version, the R-Line model focuses on driving dynamics to ensure an enjoyable city and highway driving experience.
The car comes in just one well-equipped model. As it is a CBU import, it is extremely refined with globally uniform build quality. The all-wheel drive system provides much improved traction and stability on uneven roads.

It comes with a gigantic 12.9-inch touchscreen multimedia system that accommodates the most current connectivity options.

The car also features a head-up display that makes driving better by displaying essential information projected onto the driver's line of sight.
Volkswagen wants to create an aura of luxury with innovative flair like multi-zone climate control, adaptive ambient lighting, and seat design with an ergonomic touch. These are designed to give a smoother ride for longer journeys and on the way to work.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety-wise, the Tiguan R-Line is fitted with six airbags to protect all passengers. In addition, it includes a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to notify drivers of the optimal tire condition.
