Power therapy for Europe’s most successful SUV. More than half a million models per year: the production figures for the Tiguan represent an incredible success story. So, its promotion to a performance-enhanced Tiguan R was merely a matter of time. Europe’s most successful SUV has been available with 235 kW (320 PS) and 420 Nm of torque since late 2020. The standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive with R-Performance Torque Vectoring makes an important contribution to the Tiguan R’s thrilling package of agile, superior handling and a top speed of 250 km/h. The product line’s flagship model combines the dynamic performance of a sports car with the versatility of a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). The Tiguan R therefore sets a new benchmark for SUV driving dynamics.
With an optional titanium exhaust system
The extended technical R equipment package includes a powerful 18-inch brake system including blue brake calipers (with R logo at the front), a DCC chassis with adaptively controlled shock absorbers lowered by 10 mm, and a driving profile selection enhanced for the Tiguan R with an additional Race profile. This can be activated using the blue R button on the multifunction sports steering wheel. Large paddles behind the leather steering wheel rim enable the 7-speed DSG to be controlled manually. The ESC can be deactivated. Instead of the four-piped sports exhaust system, an optional titanium exhaust system is also available from brand partner Akrapovič. On request, the exterior of the Tiguan R can also be personalised with the Black Style design package; in this case, selected add-on parts are finished in black. The Tiguan R’s standard equipment package includes chrome-coloured exterior mirror covers, a unique rear diffuser, black wheel housing extensions and 20-inch alloy wheels. Customers can also opt for 21-inch alloy wheels if desired.
