After the facelift, Volkswagen has the best-selling Volkswagen, and for the first time Tiguan will also offer a sharp version of the R

In the case of the tiguan, from a design point of view, it is a bow with the expression of the eighth-generation Golf, especially when it comes to headlights with LED Matrix technology. In remote mode, they cover the surrounding traffic. The rear lights also have new graphics.

A new plug-in hybrid device is being moved under the hood, which we also know with a similar technique from the Passat GTE or the Škoda Superb iV. It is a combination of a four-cylinder 1.4 TSI and an electric motor. The combined power is 180 kW (245 hp), the standard is a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and the purely electric version of the eHybrid will travel around 50 km according to the stricter WLTP cycle.

Next, let’s wait for the innovated mildhybrid fifteen-hundred and variants of the two-liter TDI Evo. On the opposite spectrum of the emission menu than the plug-in hybrid version, however, is the R variant. It offers the well-known supercharged two-liter with an output of 235 kW (320 hp). Same as Arteon R, introduced last week.

With a striking combination of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive, R-mode and optional titanium exhaust, Akrapović mimics the smaller T-Roc R.

The novelty should appear on the Czech market this year, but the German carmaker has not yet announced the date of arrival of the modernized variant or the new price list.
