Volkswagen Hints At Possible Tiguan R Comeback
Volkswagen has hinted that there could be a hot R variant of the new-generation Tiguan, the brand's most popular model in the United States. So far, the most powerful version of the new Tiguan for America is the SEL R-Line Turbo, which produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. That's impressive, but the original Tiguan R - based on the second generation of the crossover - produced well over 300 hp and shared an engine with the excellent Golf R. Power-hungry enthusiasts may just get another taste of such a Tiguan in the future. At the Australian media launch of the latest Golf R, the head of sales and marketing at the Volkswagen R performance division, Pedro Martinez Diaz, suggested that a range-topping Tiguan R isn't impossible. "I would never say no," said Martinez Diaz when speaking with CarExpert. "The Tiguan [R] was very successful in Europe and Australia… we'll see." If a new Tiguan does see the light of day and once again shares the Golf R's engine, it would be a serious performer, given that this top Golf now makes 328 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. That sort of grunt, paired with the brand's all-wheel-drive system, should make for quick yet secure getaways. A possible Tiguan R wouldn't have many direct rivals in the United States. Popular competitors like the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5, and Hyundai Tucson would have no answer to a Tiguan with over 300 hp. Toyota's 2026 RAV4 plug-in hybrid will have 320 hp, and although it's certain to be quick, it doesn't have the extensive performance enhancements or driver appeal of a Tiguan R. The new-generation Tiguan boasts a comfortable cabin for five, plenty of features, and Volkswagen's recently improved infotainment setup, so there's a lot to like about it. The Tiguan R would likely share all these attributes, but in a more aggressively styled package. We can also expect it to look the part, since VW has a knack for tastefully upgrading performance models like the Jetta GLI and Golf R. Now for the bad news. The previous Tiguan R wasn't officially sold in the United States, partly because VW couldn't justify the price point of such a model. With the recent reveal of the 268-hp Tiguan SEL R-Line, that may be as far as the brand is willing to go in terms of a performance-oriented Tiguan. Volkswagen's R division has much room for expansion, with only the Golf R flying the flag in this market. A new Tiguan R would be a welcome addition, especially given Americans' appetite for SUVs. However, even if a new Tiguan R was produced, it may once again be limited to markets like Australia and Europe. We won't hold our breath, but here's hoping Volkswagen takes a chance on a hot version of the Tiguan. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Volkswagen ‘open' for a second generation Tiguan R
If approved, the choice of powertrain could remain a conventional combustion option, or even a plug-in hybrid similar to the new Toyota RAV4 GR Sport. Original R debuted in South Africa in 2022 as the most powerful and fastest Tiguan ever made. Image: Volkswagen Reportedly not yet under consideration for market development, Volkswagen has let slip that it hasn't ruled-out the possibility of introducing a second generation Tiguan R before the end of the decade either. Possibility is there Limited to the now discontinued second generation Tiguan, the R made its unveiling five years ago as part of the facelift model's line-up, with the same 235kW/420Nm outputs from its 2.0 TSI engine as the Golf 8 R. ALSO READ: WATCH: Call the VW Tiguan R a 'mommy wagon' at your own peril The first Tiguan to nearly breach the R1-million mark with a price of R999 900 at the time of its South African market launch in 2022, the most powerful Tiguan ever made could, allegedly, get a further power boost if approved for production. 'I would never say no. The Tiguan [R] was very successful in Europe and Australia… we'll see', R division boss, Martinez Diaz, told Australia's last week. Ideal powertrain fit? Despite the R division's well publicised switch towards complete electrification by 2030, the selected powertrain, if production gets the greenlight, could be a plug-in hybrid similar to the one that powers the Tiguan eHybrid. In this setup, Wolfsburg's long serving 1.4 TSI comes paired to a 19.7-kWh battery pack powering an 85 kW electric for a total of 150kW/300Nm or 200kW/400Nm in its most powerful state of tune. Depicted R-Line currently heads the new third generation Tiguan range. Image: Volkswagen A set-up that will be similar to the Tiguan's long-time rival, the Toyota RAV4, whose new GR Sport derivate combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine with a 22.7-kWh battery for a total of 235 kW, the Tiguan R could also remain combustion motivated only with the same 245kW/420Nm outputs as the Golf 8.5 R. As its stands, the flagship non-electrically assisted Tiguan model remains the TSI 265, whose 2.0 TSI, as its name states, produces 265 pferdestarke (PS) or 195kW/400Nm. Locally, the same engine develops 140kW/350Nm in the range-topping 2.0 TSI R-Line 4Motion DSG due in part to South Africa's poor fuel quality compared to Europe. Watch this space For the moment, the Tiguan R remains a pipe dream, however, with an introduction not wiped-off off table, don't be surprised if spy images do emerge over the next 12 to 18 months of it undergoing testing.
