Volkswagen Tiguan R-line to get 15-inch touchscreen infotainment
The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line will be launched in the Indian market on April 14, 2025. The Tiguan R-line is essentially the sportier version of the regular Tiguan and will be bought to India via the CBU route. The bookings for the new SUV are underway, interested customers can book it online or by visiting their nearest VW dealership. The booking amount is set at Rs 25,000 with deliveries expected to begin shortly after launch. It’s expected to be priced a little over ₹50 lakh due to the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route, which attracts higher import duties and taxes.
The company recently confirmed that the Tiguan R-line will feature nine airbags, a Level 2 ADAS with 21 features, a hill start assist, and hill descent control and it also gets Park Assist Plus which can park the SUV all by itself. And now, the company has revealed that the SUV will feature a massive 15.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, an IDA voice assistant, a rotary controller with an inbuilt screen, eight-speaker sound system and more.
Other features include connected car tech, multi-zone climate control, two wireless charging pads, multi-colour ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, IQ Light HD Matrix headlights, which can deploy 38,400 multi-pixel LEDs, massaging front seats, ventilated seats and more.
Design wise, it’s based VW’s new design language and features a curvy design compared to the outgoing model, which has boxy dimensions and straight lines. This new design has helped VW to achieve a drag coefficient of 0.28 Cd (down from 0.33Cd). It also gets a thin LED strip that connects both headlights, and it also gets bigger air intakes with a huge black panel in the middle. At the rear, it gets an LED taillight with three individual LED clusters integrated into a black panel running across the tailgate. Other highlights include an R-line front grille, dual-tone alloy wheels, dual-tip exhaust outlets for a sportier stance and much more.
Talking about the engine, it gets the same 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbo petrol engine with 190 PS of power and 320 nm torque. It comes paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox, which sends power to all four wheels.
