Ahead of its official debut at the Essen Motor Show in Germany later this week, Volkswagen has released images of its Tiguan R-Line model.
This is Volkswagen’s second journey into the SUV R-Line range, preceded by the phenomenal 850Nm Touareg R50 torque-beast which made its debut at the Australian International Motor Show earlier this year.
Specifications are yet to be released, however the images show unique wheels, a revised front and R-Line badging, expect an update in the coming week.

I’m looking forward to the baby Touareg – could be one of these in my drive since I can’t quite afford the big brother :)
R-Line, S-line(Audi) are for the posers.

R50, R32 are not part of R-Line, and you don\’t call S4/RS4 a S-Line vehicle. R-Line/S-Line = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement(RICE).
Some journos and car salesmen have a lot to answer for, haven’t they All Cars? It would be interesting to have it confirmed that “R-Line” is VW’s designation or something the good site owners here coined.
How many times do you look at the used car rags and see a Commodore S Pack? S Pack? There was never one. You could buy a Commodore S or a Commodore SS.
VW Individual GmbH designs all the R-Line packages (not sold in Australia), Cross series (not sold in Australia), Individual packages and Golf R32, Passat R36 and Touareg R50.
-R-Line is to VW as M Package and S-Line is to Audi
-R is to VW as M and RS is to Audi
Currently the R-Line package is available on the Golf, Touran, Passat, Passat Wagon, Touareg and now Tiguan in Europe.
I bow to your greater wisdom, Phaeton.
SUGESTÕES VW 2010/Percerbo que muitos automóveis vw tem cambio automatico, porem, como os motores vw são muito potentes e os 1.6, 2.0 e 2.5 (litros) com o cambio automático não tem consequido um aproveitamento total destes ótimos motores, mas o cambio automático oferece dirigir confortavel, porem é muito necessário um melhor aproveitamento destes motores com uma melhoria muito acentuada dos cambios automaticos e destes motores que ainda tem muito a oferecer e evoluir. Creio que alguns GTI ou R como queiram chamar poderiam ser equipados com motores 2.5 turbo. Sciroco 2.5 turbo, golf 2.5 turbo, vw new bettle 2.5 turbo e tiguam r 2.5 turbo, abrindo um leque de opções ao consumidor que tende a companhar o mundo cada segundo mais rápido e dinamico., por isto, tendo acertado em cheio com o designer dos gol. golfs, polo, etc (ficaram muito lindos), seria para 2010 muito importante uma mechida na questão das marchas e motores (tubagem, relação de marchas, ecu, etc)desde o 1.0 até o 2.5 litros objetivando ganhos bem acentuados de potencia e velocidade. Esta seria a grande jogada para 2010 vw entrar no mercado com muita sorte e muitas vendas.
