For a few thousand more, Tiguan buyers can opt for several appearance upgrades. ![2018 VW Tiguan Receives R-Line Package]()[VW says](), “the new trim package augments the all-new SUV’s sportiness with interior and exterior design elements that give it an even more dynamic appearance. The [Tiguan]() R-Line package will be introduced at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The R-Line package enhances the robust list of equipment in the Tiguan SEL and SEL Premium trims with performance-inspired treatments. The sporty exterior styling details include 19-inch “Trenton” aluminum-alloy wheels for SEL trims and 20-inch “Braselton” aluminum-alloy wheels on SEL Premium trims. Also included are R-Line badging; unique front and rear bumpers that incorporate stylish air intakes at the front and a diffusor in glossy black paint at the rear; and body color wheelarch extensions and side skirts. ![2018 VW Tiguan Receives R-Line Package]()Inside, the Tiguan R-Line models welcome drivers with the R-Line logo on the start screen of Volkswagen’s Modular Infotainment Platform (MIB II). Other interior features include an R-Line steering wheel badge; black headliner; stainless-steel sport pedal covers; and stainless-steel door sills with the R-Line logo. ![2018 VW Tiguan Receives R-Line Package]()Like the standard Tiguan model, the R-Line will feature Volkswagen’s 2.0-liter TSI® turbocharged engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. Volkswagen’s advanced 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system is available as an option. The R-Line package on SEL trims has a MSRP of $1,795, and includes front and rear Park Distance Control (ParkPilot). The package MSRP for SEL Premium models (which already include ParkPilot) is $1,495. The Tiguan went on sale this summer and the R-Line package is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2018.” \[ngg\_images source=”galleries” container\_ids=”12″
