VW's R-Line package for the all-new 2018 Tiguan will
go on sale in the first quarter of 2018, bringing both interior and exterior
design enhancements to the SEL and SEL Premium trims.
Purchasing the R-Line pack for an SEL trim model
will cost you US$ 1,795 MSRP (ParkPilot included in pack), while the better
equipped SEL Premium (ParkPilot standard) gets the mod for just US$ 1,495.
On display at the 2017 LA Auto Show, the Tiguan
R-Line package adds 19" alloys for SEL trims and 20" alloys on SEL
Premium models. Also included are R-Line badges, sporty front and rear bumpers,
a glossy black diffuser, plus body-color wheel arch extensions and side skirts.
Inside, Tiguan R-Line models feature the R-Line logo
on the infotainment start screen, an R-Line steering wheel badge, black
headliner, stainless-steel sport pedal covers and stainless-steel door sills
with the R-Line logo.
Powering the Tiguan R-Line will be VW's 2.0-liter
TSI unit, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the
4Motion AWD system can be fitted as an optional extra.
