The Volkswagen Tiguan R Line has been launched in India at Rs 49 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). It is brought to India as a fully imported model and as a result, is over 10 lakh more expensive than the outgoing Tiguan, which was last priced at Rs 38.17 lakh (ex-showroom). That said, deliveries will start from April 23, 2025. With a refreshed exterior, a modern feature-packed interior and a sportier design, the flagship SUV also marks the debut of Volkswagen's R-Line range in India. Let us take a look at everything Volkswagen offers with the new Tiguan R-Line:

Exterior

The new Tiguan R-Line stays similar to the design of the global-spec model with twin-pod LED headlights connected by a sleek gloss black plastic trim with a LED DRL strip. To set it apart from the standard Tiguan, it comes with exclusive ‘R’ badges on the grille and front fenders.

The front bumper features a large grille with diamond-shaped inserts and a chrome strip at the bottom.

It also gets dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels, slim gloss-black cladding on the wheel arches and connected LED tail lights with pixel-like detailing. The rear bumper follows a similar theme as the front with gloss black diamond elements and a matching chrome accent.

Interior

Inside, it features an all-black cabin with a layered dashboard design, highlighted by a gloss black trim that runs across the width with subtle lighting elements. It also gets a flat-bottom 3-spoke steering wheel like the other offerings of the carmaker.

The dashboard also features a large 15-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital 10.25-inch driver’s display.

Talking about the seats, the front gets sport seats, while the rear features a standard bench, all of which get a leatherette upholstery with blue contrast stitching. All the seats get 3-point seatbelts with the rear passengers getting AC vents and a centre armrest with cupholders.
