The all-new 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line 2WD continues to build on Volkswagens strong SUV lineup in New Zealand. This sleek and technologically advanced compact SUV is perfect for those seeking luxury and performance, with enhanced infotainment and safety features.

Engine & Performance At the heart of the Tiguan R-Line is a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a smooth 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox, offering a responsive driving experience.

Standard Features Inside, the Tiguan R-Line boasts a premium 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, now equipped with IDA voice control for intuitive interaction. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, tri-zone climate control, ambient lighting with 30 colour options, and sports seats for added comfort. The driving experience is enhanced by Volkswagen's latest "Multifunction Driving Experience" control, which allows easy adjustments to drive profiles and other settings.

Safety is a top priority in the 2025 Tiguan, with standard features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and parking sensors. Additionally, the R-Line model includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Competitors Compared to rivals like the Audi Q3 and Audi Q5, which offer similar luxury but at a higher price point, the Tiguan R-Line 2WD stands out as a more affordable option with comparable tech and comfort. The Q3s 1.5-litre engine feels underpowered, and the Q5s bulk makes it less agile. The BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA also challenge the Tiguan but lack the R-Lines balance of price and performance. While these competitors are prestigious, they often charge extra for features that come standard on the Tiguan, making the Volkswagen a more practical choice. **Showroom hours: Monday- Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 10am-2pm Head to AutoTrader or the Haven Motors website to find more vehicles not listed on TradeMe.**
