2014 Tiguan R Line

[tigger73]

VWA has already brought in the Tig118 FWD so with the 132 and 155 that already makes 3 levels. I suspect that bringing in an R-line would just take away sales from 155 buyers and not from Honda, Subaru, Toyota, etc.

Which is how I think VWA would look at it. Even though I would love to see this model arrive here I suspect there's not enough differentiation to make it happen.

Unless it gets brought in for a mid model update to bump up sales.

I think Derek has the off-road model, or at least did with his 1st Tig.

Apologies to the OP !!! I did have the full off-road kit in my first Tig (both body and electronics) but unfortunately it's no longer available in NZ so I just went with the 6 speed auto (which you can still get here and is much better off-road) rather than the DSG for my 2013. So far the lack of hill descent control and the chisel nose haven't effected me too much cos I'm getting older and less adventurous probably lol !!

Cheers (and apologies again to the OP)

@tigger73 - Your in-box is well and truly full! Need to respond to you last message.

The R-Line Tig looks no different to any other US model? Too understated IMO, however, R-Line Touareg looks the goods! (Might just be the new shape though...)

It depends which colour you're looking at but the R-line Tiguan has body coloured lower plastics which looks so much better. Gets away from the 2 tone effect. There's really not a lot to sell grey unpainted plastics.

Obviously keeps the price down but when you're paying $50-$55k for an optioned up 155 they really ought to come with body coloured bumpers and door trims IMO.

This is why I got grey. The grey plastic on a white 155 just looks silly.
