Market Impact
The top-spec variant sits between the Tiguan and Touareg in Volkswagen’s family lineup and is locally assembled at the Pekan, Pahang plant alongside the Elegance model, which uses a 1.5-litre eTSI mild-hybrid engine priced at RM250,074. Both variants are built at the same facility.
Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged TSI engine producing 265PS and 400Nm, the R-Line pairs the output with a seven-speed DSG transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. It includes Dynamic Chassis Control Pro with adaptive dampers, IQ.Light HD Matrix LED headlights, and a 15-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay.
The interior features ergoActive Plus seats with 12-way electric adjustment, ventilation, heating and 10-air-cushion pneumatic massage. The boot expands to 1,905 litres with all rear rows folded. Safety is covered by Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE package, including Travel Assist with adaptive cruise control, Side Assist, Front Assist with pedestrian monitoring, Park Assist Plus and nine airbags.
VPCM is offering Merdeka promotions to the first 69 buyers: seven years of free servicing, complimentary accident protection and a key cover, plus a chance to win a three-day luxury holiday. The models are on display at Volkswagen dealers from August 13 and at the Volkswagen Tour roadshow in 1 Utama (Level B, LUXE) until August 31, 2026.
