It is impressive, considering its weight and the less than ideal road conditions.
The Tiguan R was also put to the test on damp roads, which clearly had an adverse effect on its performance off the line. The performance loss was minimized by the launch control and 4Motion all-wheel drives, which allowed the crossover to reach speeds of less than five seconds. Automann continued to push the accelerator pedal, achieving a 0-124mph (0-200 km/h), in 18.9 seconds.The Tiguan R also features an AWD system that uses torque-vectoring to transmit 100 percent of its torque to the outside wheels. While the R can send half the torque, the lower versions of the lineup are able to send half. This means that the R is more balanced and better at cornering. It is a hot hatch on stilts when you consider the stiffer suspension and variable steering.
The Tiguan R is now part of VW’s ever-expanding R lineup. This includes two Golf Rs models and two Arteon R models. It also includes the TRoc R and the Tuareg R, two models VoA isn’t selling. This plug-in hybrid V6 produces a combined output power of 456 horsepower and 700 Nm (516lb-ft)
