Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line 2025 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7.8
The R-Line sits at the top of the third-generation Tiguan range with sportier intentions.

The R-Line sits at the top of the third-generation Tiguan range with sportier intentions.

It arrives with a choice of two powertrains, either a 150TSI (150kW/320Nm) at $55,690, or 195TSI (195kW/400Nm) at $70,490, both 2.0-litre four-cylinders with different outputs, powering all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Standard equipment on the 150TSI includes 19-inch alloys, an R-Line bodykit and alternate R-Line steering wheel with additional contouring, alternate bucket seat designs in cloth finish with manual adjustments, a 12.9-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, adaptive chassis control, progressive steering, LED headlights, tri-zone climate and a powered tailgate.

To help justify its increased price, the 195TSI not only gets a more powerful engine, but it also includes larger 20-inch alloy wheels, leather interior trim with power-adjustable, heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, as well as the larger 15-inch touchscreen.

The full array of safety equipment including auto emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and more is standard across the Tiguan range.

All Volkswagens continue to be covered by the brand's five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.
