Volkswagen Tiguan R Line price estimate

Expected to cost around Rs 50 lakh, ex-showroom

Given that the standard Volkswagen Tiguan was last priced at Rs 38.17 lakh and was brought in as a CKD, the Tiguan R Line, being imported as a CBU, is expected to command a significant premium. Prices for the VW Tiguan R Line will likely be around Rs 50 lakh.
