As the top-tier Tiguan grade, it distinguishes itself from entry variants by adding higher-spec engines and premium features, making it a serious contender for those seeking elevated SUV lifestyle and business utility.
Under the bonnet you’ll find a 2.0-litre turbo-charged petrol engine rated at 195 kW and 400 Nm of torque for the 195TSI R-Line. The official 0-100 km/h sprint time is quoted at 5.9 seconds, placing it in rapid territory for a family SUV. Drive is via a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive (4MOTION), making the vehicle adept at both everyday driving and spirited outings.
