Volkswagen Individual has unveiled the Tiguan R-Line design study at the Essen Motor Show, a subtly aggressive styling exercise demonstrating the potential for a range-topping Tiguan.
Established in 2003 and based in Wolfsburg, Individual is an engineering department wholly owned by Volkswagen and is responsible for special projects including the Golf R32 and the BlueMotion range of vehicles.
Individual's influence on the Tiguan R-Line extends to a set of 19-inch multi-spoke wheels, a unique set of front and rear bumpers, subtle wheel arch extensions and colour-coded sills. The grille section is also new and features a pair of split chrome bars.
Inside the R-Line adds to the Tiguan's already extensive list of standard equipment.
Unique sports seats and a flat-bottomed multifunction steering wheel distinguish the R-Line from the conventional vehicle.
