Through numerous generations, our Golf performance models have always been synonymous with the endearing term of ‘hot hatch.’ Now, with the introduction of Tiguan R, we set a new benchmark. For the first time, Volkswagen owners can experience that same inherent level of performance, without compromising on space and practicality.
MRP pricing excludes on-road costs. See below.
“Torque vectoring is able to send up to 100% of available to torque to the outside wheel during all-out cornering, instead of the 50% seen in other Tiguan models. The result is a level of balance and cornering poise well beyond that of the standard car.”

The Volkswagen T‑Roc R exudes outstanding performance in our most compact SUV. It boasts high-quality features and generates that iconic ‘R thing’ in terms of pure driving excitement and outright fun.
MRP pricing excludes on-road costs. See below.
“The T-Roc R’s most decisive advantage is in the way it handles. From its quicker-reacting, more precise steering to its vice-like grip on the road, it feels more like a hot hatch than an SUV and will leave both of its sister cars trailing on a winding road.”

The new Touareg R Plug‑In Hybrid is elegant from every angle. Not only does it showcase its refreshed design and luxurious features – but it also impresses with its everyday practicality that you will simply love.
MRP pricing excludes on-road costs.
“The Volkswagen Touareg has evolved into an upmarket SUV that has the ability to battle premium rivals for quality and comfort. The cabin is beautifully built and laden with kit, and while there’s no seven-seat version, it’s more than practical enough for a family of five. And with a driving experience that emphasises the comfort of the cabin, it goes a long way to justifying its premium price tag…”

Today, the updated ‘R’ badge denotes a sports or high-performance model. The coveted R typically sits on the grille, front fenders, and trunk, offering many opportunities to showcase the vehicle’s status.
Each R model varies, but most boast an impressive list of features that make it stand out in the crowd. Most have 4MOTION (AWD) and available DSG (Dual Clutch gearbox), giving it ultimate, street-legal power. From body suspension kits to expressive trim and accent colours on the interior, the R model is guaranteed to turn heads from the inside out.
The R is all about performance, with a side of good looks. When Volkswagen caught on to the fact that customers loved the sporty looks of the R models, but didn’t necessarily care about the power, they started offering some models in an R-Line. Typically, R-Lines will be on the same chassis as the base models, but include upgraded front and rear bumpers, a rear spoiler, a badge, larger wheels, and other upgrades. If you’re not fussed about performance, this is a good option for a slick looking vehicle.
