Volkswagen India has officially confirmed the launch date of the Tiguan, which is set to hit our shores in its sporty R-Line variant.
Volkswagen will launch the new-gen Tiguan R-Line in the Indian market on April 14, 2025 and it will arrive as a direct import.
The latest generation of the Tiguan features a curvier styling with connected lights at both ends. There’s the TIGUAN badging down the boot lid, and various R-Line-specific elements such as a diamond front grille, a rear spoiler, and reprofiled bumpers.
On the inside, it gets a driver-centric dashboard layout with a digital driver’s display and a larger 12.9-inch infotainment screen. The R-Line gets sports seats and a sports steering wheel as well.
The global-spec model gets various powertrain options including petrol, diesel, and hybrid. The India-spec model is likely to come with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
Since the launch date of the Tiguan has already been announced, it seems like Volkswagen will launch the Golf GTI after the launch of the Tiguan, saving the hot hatchback for a later date.
