Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line India Launch on April 14: What to Expect
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Set for India Launch on April 14, 2025.
The sportier and more powerful Tiguan R-Line will soon be launched in India in April, featuring aggressive styling, upscale fittings, and a powerful turbocharged engine.
Volkswagen has officially confirmed the launch date for the Tiguan R-Line in India with a price announcement on April 14, 2025. The performance-focused version of the SUV is stepping in with more power, sportier looks, as well as interior refinements.
In addition to the Tiguan R-Line, the German company will also be launching the Golf GTI in India to further expand its roster of performance cars.
The Tiguan R-Line is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine, capable of producing 261bhp and 400Nm of torque. Depending on the region, the engine is available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) transmission, and Volkswagen might make either option available in India.
The new engine means the Tiguan R-Line will definitely be quicker and more fun than the standard Tiguan, built for enthusiasts needing performance and practicality in an SUV.
The Tiguan R-Line features a more aggressive design with:
The front bumper gets new sporty contours.
The grille shows off an 'R' badge insert.
Sleek revised LED headlamps with a connected light bar.
19-inch sporty alloy wheels.
A redesigned rear bumper and connected LED taillight set.
These updates ensure the Tiguan R-Line looks distinctly sportier than the standard model, maintaining an even more premium and athletic look that begs for the attention of passersby.
Inside, the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line possesses a wide array of premium features, among them:
Aluminium pedals that promote a racing feel
Ambient lighting for mood setting
12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring OTA updates
10.25-inch full digital instrument-cluster
Sport seats with extra side wall support for added comfort and support
Three-spoke R-Line steering wheel complete with paddle shifters for an out-of-this-world driving experience
All of this evidence points to the Tiguan R-Line being not just a performance available in the tech package but also allows the drivers and all their passengers to carry that character with a truly comfortable space.
With a stronger engine, sharper styling, and premium tech features, the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is all set to be a tough competitor in the performance SUV segment in India. The pricing is still unknown, but the R-Line is likely to be placed just above the normal Tiguan, thus attracting buyers who want a combination of practicality and performance. With the expansion of Volkswagen's performance line in India, the Tiguan R-Line will bring in the enthusiasts interested in a sporty SUV experience governed by German engineering. Official pricing is expected to be revealed on April 14.
