Efficient Power When You Need It

At the heart of this Tiguan sits Volkswagen’s proven 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, paired with their smooth-shifting DSG automatic gearbox. Producing a punchy 150 horsepower, it delivers the ideal balance of performance and efficiency. The numbers tell the story – averaging 40.9 MPG while still having enough grunt to confidently overtake on the motorway or tackle a fully-loaded family holiday. If you’re in the market for a well equipped SUV with even better mileage, consider the Kia Sportage GT Line.

Here we should address the elephant in the room, it’s a diesel Volkswagen, but this generation of Tiguan was built following the emissions scandal, and the numbers are reliable. The DSG gearbox deserves special mention, offering seamless shifts when you’re cruising and rapid response when you need it. It’s the kind of refined driving experience you’d expect from a premium German SUV, built for the autobahn, but just at home on suburban roads.

Built for Safety

Power is all well and good, but if you’re going to put your foot down you need to be sure of the car’s safety features. Fortunately the Tiguan R Line is packed with advanced driver assistance systems and passive safety features that make it one of the safest SUVs on the road. With a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating and neat features like blind spot warnings on the wing mirrors, the Tiguan is designed with occupant safety front and centre.

Lane assist keeps you centered in your lane on long motorway drives, while adaptive cruise control maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting your speed as needed. The system can even bring you to a complete stop in traffic and move off again – perfect for those rush hour commutes. Adaptive cruise control isn’t for everybody though, and you can revert to the traditional version should you wish.

The Tiguan comes loaded with radar operated front collission assist which monitors the road ahead, and can automatically apply the brakes if it detects an imminent collision with vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. Meanwhile, dynamic road sign display ensures you’re always aware of the current speed limit and other important road signs.

Space for Life's Adventures

Despite its sporting pedigree, the Tiguan R Line remains a practical family SUV at heart. The 615 litre boot offers generous space for luggage, rising to 1615 litres if the rear seats are folded down. The Tiguan has another trick up its sleeve in the form of sliding back seats, allowing you to prioritize either passenger legroom or cargo space as needed.

The Tiguan is also all wheel drive, ensuring poise and safety when tackling unpaved roads and inclement driving conditions. The elevated driving position provides excellent visibility, while the heated front seats and steering wheel mean you’ll always be comfortable as you tackle twisty country lanes.

R Line Style Inside and Out

The R Line specification takes the already handsome Tiguan and adds an extra dose of sporting flair. The distinctive front bumper, body-colored side skirts, and R Line badges make it clear this isn’t your average family SUV. The striking 19 inch alloy wheels fill the arches perfectly, while the LED headlights add a premium touch.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by sports seats with R Line embroidery, a multifunction leather sports steering wheel, and shiny aluminum pedals that really stand out. The cabin features high-quality materials throughout, with soft-touch surfaces that remind you you’re in a premium German vehicle.
