The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid R-Line is a bold step forward for VW’s popular mid-size SUV, blending plug-in hybrid efficiency with sporty R-Line styling and a powerful 272PS drivetrain. With an improved electric range, a tech-rich interior, and dynamic driving capabilities, this electrified Tiguan is a strong contender for those seeking performance, practicality, and sustainability in one package. At the heart of the Tiguan eHybrid R-Line is a 1.5-liter TSI turbocharged petrol engine, paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 272PS (268 hp) and 400Nm of torque. Power is sent through a 6-speed DSG automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and responsive shifts. With an upgraded battery (19.7 kWh), the Tiguan eHybrid now offers an all-electric range of up to 100 km (62 miles)—a significant boost over previous models, making it ideal for daily commutes without using a drop of fuel. The transition between electric and petrol power is seamless, and when both power sources work together, the Tiguan delivers impressive acceleration, with an estimated 0-100 km/h time of around 6.5 seconds. Despite its sporty R-Line badge, the Tiguan remains more of a refined cruiser than a hardcore performance SUV. However, the DCC adaptive suspension and progressive steering enhance agility, making it enjoyable on twisty roads while maintaining comfort on long journeys. The R-Line trim gives the Tiguan an aggressive stance with sportier bumpers, gloss black accents, and 20-inch alloy wheels. The matrix LED headlights with an illuminated front grille add a futuristic touch, while the coupe-like lines make it one of the sleekest-looking Tiguans yet. Inside, the cabin is modern and minimalist, featuring a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, and a head-up display. The new software is snappier and more intuitive, now supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
