The Tiguan is the latest model to get the R works
Remember when we had only Volkswagen's Golf R, we have now a wide choice of R variants and now the brand new Tiguan R. Learn to enjoy it, folks, as this will not end soon.
The Crossover R Spec
VW's Tiguan R is based on the improved second gen vehicle is extremely close to in specification to the Arteon R that has been unveiled not long ago. That shows there is an Evo4 variant of Volkswagen company's powerful 2 litre turbocharged engine living beneath the hood, which produces 316bhp as well as 310lb ft of torque in this current state. This power is directed to all four paws, and VW's new R-Performance Torque Vectoring setup can split torque between the front- and rear axles and also in between the R's both rear treads, thus giving extra grip through tough turns.
Sitting some 10mm closer 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.
The Latest R Spec Comfort Settings
There are Comfort, Sport, Race, Individual, Offroad, Snow and Offroad Individual driving modes and, like the company's Arteon R, a tiny R button on the Tiguan R's tiler takes the spirited driver straight to the vehicle's R mode.
