Meet the 2026 VW Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo: More Power, More Thrill

A thrilling, all-new SUV will be joining the Tiguan lineup this fall. The all-new 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo is bringing the heat, boasting a major boost in horsepower — 67 more horsepower, to be exact. The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo will be the crowning trim level in the upcoming 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan lineup, and for good reason. 

So what’s the secret to all that extra horsepower? A more powerful EA888 evo5 turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0-liter TSI® engine, which delivers 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This upgrade in performance is due to changes like a larger turbocharger and stronger pistons and connecting rods, among other updates. 

The Tiguan Turbo is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and comes with standard all-wheel drive for increased confidence no matter your route.

If you want a compact SUV that delivers more thrills, this is it. But not only will you get to enjoy more horsepower behind the wheel of the all-new 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo, you’ll also get to enjoy an attractive design, both inside and out. Let’s learn more about this all-new SUV’s design below.  

The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo Exclusive Design 

Starting from the exterior, the 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo is certainly eye-catching, featuring a sleek yet aggressive design that presents both a sophisticated and sporty appearance. Design details include an LED light bar and illuminated logo, both on the front and back, a rear spoiler, and bold 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, making a striking first impression. Choose from an array of attractive paint shades such as Avocado Green Pearl, Sandstone Uni, and Monterey Blue Pearl to express your unique sense of style. 

When you open the doors of this two-row SUV, you’ll discover a welcoming interior with elegant touches, including genuine American walnut wood décor and Varenna leather seating surfaces. Enjoy the convenience of a large center console and a power Easy/Open Close tailgate, while appreciating the comfort of 3-zone Climatronic® Touch automatic climate and a heated steering wheel. Luxury is taken to the next level with 12-way power front seats with quilted leather seating surfaces and 10-point full-back massage and ventilation, as well as heated rear outboard seats. 

30-color ambient lighting helps set the mood, while tech features like a central infotainment system with a 15-inch display, wireless charging, a head-up display, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon™ sound system further enhance your driving experience.
