Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line shares its complete cabin layout with that of the five-seater Tiguan. However, this more premium R-Line trim looks more premium and sporty with its all-black treatment. The cabin of the SUV is executed in R-Line Vienna black leather upholstery with aluminium pedals and piano black inserts adding to its classy ambience.

The flat-bottom multi-functional steering wheel, full TFT virtual cockpit instrument console, 12-way power-adjustable front seats with memory and massage function, three-zone automatic climate control with rear AC vents, 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with gesture control and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and 8-speaker sound system are some of the features which truly uplift the premium appeal of the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line. The SUV can seat seven, however, the third row of seats is best suited only for children. With all three rows of seats up, the SUV offers a decent boot space of 230 litres.

From the outside, the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line just looks like what it is – a stretched version of the five-seater Tiguan sold overseas. However, to make it look a bit differentiated, Volkswagen has carried out a few slight revisions on the outside, especially at the front.

The front profile of the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line looks very similar to other offerings from Volkswagen and carries that family look with a sleek-looking rectangular grille with horizontal chrome slats. This grille is flanked with angular block-shaped headlamps which incorporate dual LED projectors and inverted L-shaped daytime running LEDs on their upper edges. The front bumper looks huge with a wide trapezoidal design for the air dam and large housings for the small trapezoidal fog lamps.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line has an upright and sharp design, which looks the most evident when viewed from the sides. The sharp crease flowing through the door panels to the edge of the tail lamps is a typical Volkswagen trait. The SUV looks premium with chrome surrounds for the window panels and large 19-inch ‘Sebring’ alloy wheels.

From the rear, the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line looks the same as the rear profile of the five-seater Tiguan. The crisp creases on the boot lid are well-matched with angular-looking wide inverted L-shaped LED tail lamps. Like in other R-Line offerings from Volkswagen, the Tiguan Allspace R-Line too gets visual highlights like R-Line bumpers and sill extensions, R-Line black rear spoiler, and R-Line badges.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line has been awarded features like 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, Dynamic Chassis Control, and Driving Mode Selection, which make it a pleasurable experience behind the steering wheel. The SUV gets a stiffly tuned suspension setup which aids in making the driving experience a bit more precise.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line is equipped with a very familiar 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine under its hood. Mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox, the engine makes 220 PS of maximum power and 350 Nm of maximum torque.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line gets a slew of modern safety features like front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, electronic stability control, engine drag torque control, traction control with electronic differential lock, cruise control, and hill descent control.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line is one family-oriented SUV that doesn’t compromise on desirable factors like style, premium appeal, and sporty driving experience. While it offers the practicality of a seven-seater vehicle, it offers a premium feel in and out which makes it a true luxury car. The peppy engine and sorted driving dynamics make it a driver’s delight, despite its size.
