The horizontal strip features R-Line branding. There is a connecting LED bar that runs across the width of the SUV.

The SUV gets sleeker-looking LED headlamps with a large air dam on the lower part of the bumper. It is equipped with 19-inch wheels with a unique design.

At the rear, we see smoked clear glass LED tail lamps with a connecting LED bar across the width of the vehicle. The Tiguan branding is placed on the lower part of the tailgate, along with a muscular-looking bumper featuring black and chrome inserts.

Additionally, the carline is equipped with a Vehicle Dynamics Manager, which controls the functions of electronic differential locks (XDS) and the lateral dynamics components of controlled shock absorbers in the DCC Pro system.
