Style you can’t help but savour
The Tiguan R’s fearless design, incorporating flowing lines, bold contours and signature R performance features, will leave your pulse racing.
Drive it, feel it, love it
Total control and comfort is yours when you drive a Tiguan R. Incite your senses with the multifunction sports steering wheel, pamper them with the Black Carbon Nappa leather3 appointed seats.
Feel the excitement in your hands
There’s nothing like gripping the Tiguan R’s Sports steering wheel as you power through fast corners. Soft press the glowing R button on the steering wheel to toggle through a range of driver profile selections, or hard press it to instantly engage exciting Race mode. Decorative blue stitching, large racing shifting paddles and an R badge with blue highlights in the bottom spoke – this is no ordinary steering wheel.
Captivating R styling
The Tiguan R makes a bold design statement with aggressive styling inspired by motorsport. A large gloss black lower air intake, prominent bumpers with gloss black accents, quad chrome tail pipes and appealing R badges front to rear all serve to confirm the Tiguan R’s stunning performance pedigree.
Dare to be noticed
There’s no mistaking the sporty allure of the Tiguan R, with its hunkered stance, assertive body styling and uniquely compelling design elements that can only ever be found on a Volkswagen performance vehicle.
Feel impressive braking force
You’ll appreciate the superior stopping power of the Tiguan R’s signature blue brake callipers, which are a striking visual complement to the SUV’s aerodynamic 21” Estoril alloy wheels.
Reveal the world around you
Enjoy panoramic views and let the sun stream into the cabin when you choose the Tiguan R’s optional panoramic electric glass sunroof.
If it feels good, it is good
You’ll feel ready for any driving challenge when you’re sitting in the Tiguan R’s supportive seats with Nappa leather3 featuring eye-catching embossed R logos.
Soundtrack your next drive
Audiophiles will be blown away by the precision sound emitted by the Tiguan R’s Harman Kardon premium audio system with ten speakers and powerful 480w amplifier. Set the mood by choosing from one of four pre-configured sound settings – Pure, Chill Out, Live and Energy – to create the perfect listening experience for your favourite music.
Take control of your comfort
Customise your climate zone with the Tiguan R’s practical and luxurious 3-Zone Climate Control. Simple climate touch controls are available to both driver and front passenger, while passengers in the rear have full control over the temperature in their zone.
Brilliant illumination with IQ.LIGHT headlights
Performance driving requires perfect vision, which is exactly what you get with the Tiguan R’s IQ.LIGHT matrix LED headlights. Featuring Dynamic Light Assist and dynamic indicators, the headlights project a brilliantly bright beam onto the road ahead. For that extra-special ‘R’ welcome the front doors also cast an R-logo symbol onto the ground below.
Immerse yourself in the digital cockpit
The Tiguan R’s customisable Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster and Discover Pro Navigation System offer a fully digital driver display that puts you at the helm. There’s nothing you can’t control when you’re sitting at the wheel.
Enthralling engine performance
With an impressive 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque on tap, the Tiguan R can launch from 0–100km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The 2.0‑litre TSI turbocharged engine will leave you out of breath and wanting more.
Handling you just have to experience
All‑wheel‑drive 4MOTION with R‑Performance Torque Vectoring helps you maintain speed into corners and accelerate out the other side with absolute confidence. By distributing engine output not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels, the Tiguan R delivers satisfying grip and stability.
