Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line preview

By George Skentzos | November 29th, 2007

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.

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.
