While Volkswagen sells its Tiguan SUV both in Europe and the North American markets, today the automaker announced a new list of features – in Europe.

The expansion of features for the European Tiguan comes from the R-Line, which adds 19-inch wheels, a customized body, sport seats and a black headliner to give this small SUV a truly sporty look and feel.

For now, VW hasn’t clarified whether or not the R-Line additions will also be coming stateside, only giving pricing and details for the European variant, but that won’t stop us from delving into the details and hoping news is coming for U.S. and Canadian buyers.

R-Line exterior pack
Changing the entire look of the Tiguan, the R-Line package adds a heavy dose of sport to the front and rear fascias, complete with a monochrome finish and matt chrome inserts for accents and an R-Line roof-edge rear spoiler. Other changes to the exterior include a rear diffuser, aluminum door sill plates with R-Line logos, an R-Line logo in the front grille and 19-inch Mallory wheels wrapped in 255/40/R19 tires.

In Europe this package will set buyers back 2,460 Euros.

R-Line color range
Along with the R-Line exterior pack comes access to special colors, Candy white, Reflex silver metallic, Deep black pearl effect, Night blue metallic and Pepper grey metallic.

R-Line interior pack
While exterior flashiness is nice to have, VW hasn’t forgotten the interior, either, offering a package which adds front sport seats, Kyalami style seat covers for the front and rear with lateral
supports in San Remo microfiber fabric for the front, head restraints with an integrated R-Line logo, a multifunction steering wheel with aluminum accents and R-Line badge, black headliner and pedals with stainless steel caps.

Buyers can also add Vienna leather (black) for an extra 2,120 Euros.

If the R-line Exterior or Interior packs are a bit too much, either in style of price, buyers can also order a stand-alone R-Design rear spoiler for 150 Euros, or the black headliner for 180 Euros.
