Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and T-Roc get sporty R-Line trim

Volkswagen T-Roc R-Line_cr

That’s the new range-topping trim level in the UK

Priced from £26,450 RRP OTR (T-Roc) and £35,755 RRP OTR (Tiguan Allspace), the new R-Line trim brings a premium feeling to these two people movers

You can dream about driving a sportier T-Roc or Tiguan Allspace by choosing the new R-Line trim. Mind you, it's an optical upgrade which comes without any increase in engine power, but still, it looks awesome.

Additions to T-Roc R-Line models include 19-inch ‘Suzuka’ alloy wheels shod with low rolling resistance tyres; sports suspension; body-coloured roof spoiler and styling pack including R-Line design front and rear bumpers, black wheel arch extensions, body-coloured side skirts and unique R-Line badging.

Inside, the T-Roc gains a black roof lining; dark grey decorative inserts in dash and door panels; front footwell illumination; front LED reading lights; Carbon Flag upholstery; chrome R-Line door sill inserts; aluminium pedals; R-Line carpet mats front and rear and a flat-bottomed R-Line leather multi-function steering wheel.

Four T-Roc R-Line model variants are now available to order in the UK, with first deliveries here likely in June:

  • T-Roc 1.5 TSI EVO 150 PS 6-speed manual
  • T-Roc 1.5 TSI EVO 150 PS 7-speed DSG
  • T-Roc 2.0 TSI 190 PS 4MOTION 7-speed DSG
  • T-Roc 2.0 TDI 150 PS 4MOTION 6-speed manual

The cars are priced from £26,450 RRP OTR.

The capacious and practical new Tiguan Allspace can now also be ordered in R-Line trim and, like the T-Roc, the new spec’ level adds styling and equipment upgrades that make it look a tad sportier.

Sitting on 20-inch ‘Suzuka’ alloy wheels as standard, the Tiguan Allspace R-Line boasts a sports suspension set-up that can be further optimised via the addition of optional Dynamic Chassis Control which brings with it a choice of Sport, Comfort or Normal suspension settings. Like the T-Roc, the Tiguan Allspace R-Line also features a body-coloured roof spoiler; Piano Black front air intake and rear diffuser and extensive R-Line styling pack.
