As a high-performance version of the Volkswagen brand, the "R" series has also been expanding the lineup since the brand launched a number of new models based on the "R department" tuning that have been recognized by the market.
For example, after Volkswagen launched the new Tiguan model, the brand also created a new Tiguan R with the help of this model, and the current price of tiguan R in overseas markets is 45,000 pounds (about 375,500 yuan).
Considering that the current Volkswagen Tiguan only ushered in the mid-term redesign last year, the annual redesign model exposed this time has not changed much in appearance, and according to Volkswagen's custom, it will only upgrade the configuration.
Of course, as an R-division model, the new car has more aggressive kits than the ordinary version in design, such as large wheels, a new front lip and four exhausts, etc., to reflect the difference between the new car and the ordinary version.
Perhaps the Tiguan R is less obvious than the regular version, and because the upgrade of the R department is more reflected in the practical performance, such as the 21-inch carbon black aluminum alloy wheels, equipped with perforated ventilation discs and blue brake calipers with R markings, and the tail supports the optional Akrapovic exhaust system.
In terms of interior, the new car basically continues the design of the ordinary version of the Volkswagen Tiguan, including the use of an in-set central control screen, which may be slightly insincere at the moment.
As a high-performance model, the performance that distinguishes it from ordinary models is only that Tiguan R has more "blue" elements exclusive to the R department, mainly reflected in the hands, stitches and some details.
In order to allow the driver to have better wrapping in the heat of the driving, the new car is also equipped with integrated sports seats.
As mentioned earlier, the value of the R division is mainly reflected in performance, so the new car is equipped with the same 2.0T turbocharged engine as the Golf R, with a maximum output of 239 kW (325 hp) and a peak torque of 420 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a 4-Motion four-wheel drive system, accelerating 4.9 seconds from 100 kilometers and a maximum speed of 250 km/h, which is a very good performance for a medium-sized SUV.
Judging from the positioning of the new car's high performance, the volkswagen Tiguan R's competitors will include hyundai KONA N, Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG and MINI JCW COUNTRYMAN.

With the gradual rejuvenation of the main consumer in recent years, the wave of SUV sports seems to be getting more and more intense, especially the hyundai brand has exhibited hyundai KONA N and Elantra N models in China, which means that many brands have begun to pay attention to the domestic young market, I don't know if volkswagen will consider the introduction of this Tiguan R in the future.
After all, as a compact SUV deeply rooted in China, Volkswagen Tiguan will have a stronger market competitiveness than other friends when launching R models.
