2017 Tiguan R Line Details

[Beowulf]

Does anyone know for sure that the new Tiguan R line can have a towbar? Also does anyone have any details on the ground clearance for the R Line model?

Many thanks!

Yes the new rline can have a tow bar fitted. The one on my rline is a vertical bar so barely has any cutting of the plastics and the bottom of the bar sits higher then the bottom of the car so isn't the lowest point.

Would you mind posting a few pics please?

Yeah all in all pleased, it's looks quite nice in person and the bar looks quite nicely made, bonus was that it didn't kill the rear bar as I've seen on other cars.

I was a bit surprised when I saw that it was an official vw Aus bar designed and made in New Zealand. Not bagging the nz just was expecting a bar from nsw or vic etc.

Hi Beowulf,

I have spoken my dealer to try and get the tow bar included on my R-Line and have been told that it isn't yet available and that the R-Line can't take a tow bar just yet.

Are you able to provide any part numbers or anything I can take back to them? Very keen to get it done up-front rather than later on in the process.

Many thanks!

Hi Beowulf, are you happy with the boot sill protector? I'm thinking of getting it but would like to know what people's experiences are.

Hi veew,

I have two young kids and I personally think its great having it there, its harder to mark and if its marked it doesn't show unless you are close. And yes I have experienced this which is why the dealer now owes me another sill protector

I did spend some time thinking about getting the clear one or this one but the clear one stops scratches but not a decent scrape or bump, this one is quite strong plastic and looks like it will stop damage to the car.
