Set to go on sale in the first quarter of next year, the 2018 VW Tiguan R-Line comes with exclusive interior and exterior appointments as well as extra features.

What’s more, you get 19-inch “Trenton” aluminum-alloy wheels for SEL trims and 20-inch “Braselton” aluminum-alloy wheels on SEL Premium trims.

Inside you can count on R-Line steering wheel badge; black headliner; stainless-steel sport pedal covers; and stainless-steel door sills with the R-Line logo as the main highlights. 2018 VW Tiguan R-Line also gets as standard the Modular Infotainment Platform (MIB II) system. Available as a $1,795 package for the SEL and $1,495 package for the SEL Premium models, the R-Line Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. While 4Motion All-Wheel-Drive is an optional extra, the package does include front and rear Park Distance Control (ParkPilot).
