Volkswagen's SUV range expands its R-Line appeal

The new range-topping trim level - offered across a selection of engine and gearbox combinations in both model ranges - adds distinctive sports styling inside and out along with equipment upgrades and enhancements commensurate with the top spec' positioning of the R-Line trim.

The confident new T-Roc, Volkswagen's first entrant in the competitive compact Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) class, is already making a name for itself among buyers keen to experience the brand's renowned build quality, flexible five-seat practicality and refined driving dynamics in an SUV format.

Now the arrival of the R-Line trim level adds enhanced visual appeal and uprated handling to the T-Roc's comprehensive list of appealing features.

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.

Sitting on stunning 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.

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.

Inside the Tiguan Allspace, the R-Line models benefit from the addition of aluminium-look decorative inserts in dash and door panels; a black roof lining; leather trimmed three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with aluminium inserts and 'R-Line' logo; 'Race' cloth upholstery and 'San Remo' microfibre inserts; 'R-Line' logo on front seat backrests; stainless steel pedals and unique 'R-Line' door sill protectors.
