Tiguan is the latest VW that is lucky to get the R package
Remember when we had only the VW Golf R, you have now a wide choice of R variants and now this, VW's latest R model, the Tiguan R. Believe it, folks, as this is not going to come to an end soon.
The Newest R Spec
The Tiguan R is based on the facelifted second generation vehicle is extremely close to in specification to the Arteon R that has been announced not long ago. This shows that there’s the Evo 4 version of the VW Group’s delightful 2.0-litre turbo fast thing lurking beneath its bonnet, this makes 316bhp and 310lb ft torque in this guise. That grunt is fed to all four corners, and the R-Performance Torque Vectoring system splits this force between the front and rear-axles as well as between the car's right and left back wheels, thus providing more traction through tight turns.
Sitting 10mm nearer to the road than the standard model and its 21 inch “Estoril†wheels conceal huge 18-inch stoppers. Additionaly, one can purchase an exhaust like on the smaller T-Roc R.
VW Tiguan R Race Settings
There is Sport, Comfort, Race, Individual, Offroad, Snow and Offroad Individual driving modes and, like the company's Arteon R, a small R button on the Tiguan R's tiler takes the spirited driver straight to the vehicle's R mode.
