Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Engine and Colour Options Revealed; Bookings Open

Volkswagen India has started accepting pre-launch bookings for the upcoming Tiguan R-Line ahead of its arrival on 14th April 2025. Now, the German carmaker has revealed the powertrain details and colour options for this upcoming performance SUV.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Engine

Powering the Tiguan R-Line will be a 2-litre turbocharged TSI engine, paired with a 7-speed direct shift gearbox (dual-clutch automatic transmission) and an all-wheel drive system. However, the engine specifications are still under wraps.

Globally, the Tiguan R-Line also gets multiple other powertrain options, including a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid petrol and a 2-litre diesel mill. However, these won’t make it to the Indian market.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Colour Options

Volkswagen will offer the Tiguan R-Line in six monotone colours: Persimmon Red Metallic, Nightshade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, Oryx White Mother of Pearl Effect, Cipressiono Green Metallic, and Oyster Silver Metallic.
