The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line, launched in April 2025 at a premium tag of ₹49 lakh (ex-showroom), is already seeing a hefty discount of up to ₹3 lakh. That brings the effective price down to ₹46 lakh, thanks to a mix of cash offers, exchange bonuses, and corporate perks. Just three months post-launch, this sharp price cut has raised eyebrows—and perhaps interest—in an otherwise slow-moving SUV.

Pricing
Let’s face it, pricing can make or break a car in India, especially in the premium SUV space. The Tiguan R-Line entered the market as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), which usually adds a chunk to the sticker price. At ₹49 lakh, it was sitting uncomfortably close to more spacious seven-seaters and feature-loaded diesel SUVs. The new discount-driven price of ₹46 lakh makes it more tempting and better aligned with expectations.
Here’s how the updated pricing looks:
| Variant | Original Price | Discount | Final Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiguan R-Line | ₹49 lakh | Up to ₹3 lakh | ₹46 lakh |
Performance
Under the hood, the Tiguan R-Line packs a punch with its 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine that pushes out 201bhp and 320Nm of torque. Mated to a seven-speed DSG gearbox, this SUV sprints from 0 to 100kmph in just over seven seconds. Not bad for a five-seater family SUV, right?
It also gets 4Motion all-wheel-drive, which means it’s more than just a soft-roader. Whether it’s bad roads, hilly terrains, or rainy-day commutes, the Tiguan offers stability and control you’d expect from a German machine.
Features
This car doesn’t hold back on the feature front. You get a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a 10.3-inch digital cockpit, and Matrix LED headlamps that adjust themselves based on your speed and the traffic ahead. Fancy stuff.
There’s also ambient lighting to set the mood, a panoramic sunroof to soak in the sky, and ventilated massage seats that make you feel like you’re being hugged by the car. Safety? It’s got nine airbags and Level 2 ADAS with 21 different assist functions. That’s some serious peace of mind.
Market
Despite all its strengths, the Tiguan R-Line hasn’t exactly flown off dealership lots. Why? Well, Indian buyers in this price bracket usually want either a diesel engine or third-row seating. Think about what’s selling: Fortuner, Gloster, and even some three-row Hyundais.
The Tiguan R-Line, being a five-seater petrol-only option, finds itself in a niche. It caters more to someone looking for a refined driving experience and doesn’t care much about squeezing in seven people.
Value
With the new pricing, the Tiguan R-Line suddenly looks a lot more appealing. You’re getting European build quality, a premium feature list, and solid performance—all at a discount. While it may not match the practicality of seven-seaters or the efficiency of diesels, it scores high on refinement, safety, and driving dynamics.
It might still not be a volume-seller, but for the right buyer, the Tiguan R-Line now offers more bang for the buck.
