Design and exterior features of the Volkswagen Tiguan R
The published images show that the new Tiguan R is almost indistinguishable from the R-Line trim on the outside, but it features a number of elements characteristic of “hot” versions. The car has received more aggressive bumpers, a signature painted body kit, massive air intakes, and 21-inch alloy wheels. The crossover’s power is emphasized by four round exhaust pipes that are harmoniously integrated into the rear diffuser, as well as sporty bucket seats in the interior.
“The crossover will receive a turbo engine with over 300 horsepower”.
Technical specifications and innovations
Under the hood, the Volkswagen Tiguan R will retain a 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine, which, according to preliminary information, will develop up to 333 hp, similar to the VW Golf R model. It is likely that the powertrain will be complemented by a 48-volt mild hybrid system, which will help reduce fuel consumption and increase efficiency. An improvement in the braking system is also expected for better handling at high speeds.
Thus, Volkswagen is preparing to release the most powerful version of the Tiguan, which combines sporty dynamics, modern technology, and a recognizable design aimed at enthusiasts of dynamic driving styles.
