This Volkswagen Tiguan shows how a go-faster R version might look — if it it gets a go-ahead alongside the R32 Golf, R36 Passat and R50 Touareg.
Volkswagen says there is no plan at present for a full-scale Tiguan R but that has not stopped a body upgrade on the compact SUV.
The R Line model has just gone on sale in Europe with a deep front air dam, fatter wheelarches, 19-inch alloy wheels, sill extensions and a small roof spoiler.
But it will not be coming to Australia. And it does not point to an imminent R-style tweak for the Tiguan.
"Unfortunately, we have to take away some of the excitement," says Karl Gehling.
"It's just the Volkswagen Individual exterior modifications. It's not like the R range of vehicles.
"We're not offering the R-Line. It is only a cosmetic upgrade, not a performance upgrade."
