Volkswagen presented the sporty R-Line equipment packages for the new Tiguan compact SUV at the Essen Motor Show. As we predicted in our initial post on the Tiguan R-Line (click here), the German carmaker will offer two separate kits, an interior package and an exterior package. However, note that the R-Line packages will be exclusively available on the Sport & Style version of the Tiguan. -Continued after the jump

The “Exterior” R-Line package combines a bodykit with 19 inch “Omanyt” type alloy wheels equipped with size 255/40 R19 tires. Furthermore, the so-called dynamic chassis is also on board, equipped with a sportier suspension tuning.

The bodykit includes bumpers painted in car color with redesigned lower areas, a diffuser (painted black) integrated in the rear bumper, and in front a radiator grille screen with dual louvers in “matte chrome”. Standard equipment includes black wheel well extensions – and door add-on parts that are painted in car color as well.

Interior upgrades of the Tiguan “Plus” R-Line package consist of the sport seats (front) with R-Line logo embossed in the headrests and “Monte Carlo” fabric design, multifunctional leather steering wheel, also with R-Line logo, and aluminum pedal caps. Leather sport seats are also offered as an option.
