It’s an R thing
A kiwi midsize SUV favourite since 2010 and the world’s most successful Volkswagen is now available under the legendary Volkswagen R performance brand. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on or off the road, the new sports Tiguan R SUV has an answer to every question. On the way to the office to deal with everyday tasks or as an intrepid explorer on family adventures, the stylish SUV offers premium levels of safety, comfort and, above all, full on R performance.
It’s a ‘rush to the heart’ thing
It’s hard to describe what happens when a family SUV meets the power of a sports car. With 400Nm of torque and 235kW of power, you could say the performance factor of the Tiguan R is certain to provide you with some truly heart pounding thrills and memories.
It’s a ‘smooth at every corner’ thing
The driving dynamics of this unique SUV are something that needs to be experienced first-hand. Equipped with R-Performance 4MOTION all-wheel-drive and Adaptive Dampers, there is simply no stopping the Tiguan R.
It’s a ‘keeping the family safe’ thing
While performance and sporty handling is second nature, ultimate safety is fundamental. Fitted with our latest advanced active safety features like Autonomous emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Travel Assist and Lane Keeping System, the Tiguan R has you and your precious cargo top of mind.
A truly dynamic driving experience
Through numerous generations, our Golf performance models have always been synonymous with the endearing term of ‘hot hatch.’ Now, with the introduction of Tiguan R, we set a new benchmark. And the fundamental driving characteristics of the Tiguan R will certainly not disappoint.
Ready for precision at every turn
Handle every road like a racetrack with a new first from Volkswagen; 4MOTION with R-Performance Torque Vectoring. This all-wheel-drive technology distributes drive not just between the front and rear axles, but also variably between the two rear wheels. Delivering up to 100% of the possible torque to the wheel on the outside of the bend, it enables an exhilarating drive with maximum grip and stability.
Ready for maximum R?
The new Tiguan R features the electrically adjustable dampers which lets you soften or sharpen the ride, offering an optimum level of driving comfort and enjoyment at all times.
Progressive Steering
With the progressive steering system, the steering ratio is increased with the help of variable toothing on the steering rack and increases progressively, as the steering angle increases. The steering behaviour is more direct and the steering angle is reduced considerably, providing a more dynamic response on twisting roads.
A rush to the heart
Whether it’s on Wellington’s High Street or an Otago backroad, prepare for a blood-pumping drive with the powerful 2.0L turbocharged TSI petrol engine. Boasting 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque, expect an adrenalin rush, even when you’re stuck in Auckland traffic.
