BHPian robimahanta recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Dropped by the local VW dealership in Bangalore to check out the newly launched Tiguan R-Line. Although test drives haven’t begun yet (expected next week), got a good feel for the vehicle’s design and interior. Here are some quick observations: Looks well-proportioned and sharper than the new Kodiaq, which now leans more towards an MPV-like stance. Supportive and comfortable with plenty of adjustment options, even though they’re manually operated. Frankly, electric seats may not be missed. Rear seats have recline and slide option Ample cubbies and USB-C ports throughout Big and deep boot Felt lined door pockets Feels premium overall, with a sporty edge thanks to the R-Line package. Infotainment Screen: Large central screen dominates the dashboard. While crisp and modern, it looks almost like an iPad stuck onto the dash – may not be to everyone’s taste. Nice size steering which isn’t too thick and has perforated leather Lots of colours, light strips (connecting front and rear lamps), and glossy piano black surfaces – it’s the current trend, but could feel a bit too much The front chrome strip was unnecessary Rear has iQ light No Keyless Entry – surprising omission at this price point. No 360-degree Camera – especially given the car’s size. No Spare Tyre – Only a repair kit with air compressor Comes with 255/45 R19 100V Hankook Ventus Evo SUV tyres in an uninspiring alloy design Familiar 2 litre tsi without any branding on the cover Recent VW price list from Bangalore (at 61.79 it is around 3-4 lacs more expensive than the on road price of Q3 Premium Plus). Sales guys are currently unaware whether the extended warranty and service package is extra or included in the price. Looking forward to the test drive next week. Cheers!
