Is the R-line package worth it for an extra $4K ?

For the Tiguan Highline 162TSI with DAP, is it worth it to get the R-line package for an extra $4k ?

[doc_777]

Worth.

Only you can decide that. I wouldn’t buy a new Tiguan that doesn’t have the R-Line pack because I prefer the look. But some your preferences may differ, that’s why I say only you can decide. Perhaps if you were to provide some other factors than ‘worth’, it might be possible to provide some real feedback.

YES. Looks plain otherwise.

Depends if u are willing to wait for it then worth it and as earlier said it looks pretty awesome.

Get the Sportline and save $8k. But the R-line in white is the bizz.

If you have to ask, no.

When I was looking for a Tig it wasn't even a question, I wanted the R-Line looks. But if you are questioning it at all then you don't need it.

I'll just say this. The cost of retrofitting the R-line kit as spare parts will be about $10-12k.

So it makes a lot of sense to get it that way from the factory if you want the looks.

Only decided on the R-Line because of the extra 4K+ & the car like handling for an SUV having migrated from a Mk5 2.0 TDI on 18” rims. I now am a farmer as all farmers have SUV’s
I’m still amazed at the extras that the R-Line has as part of its package...it is a bargain!
But that’s just my opinion...

When comparing against the stock Highline, I agree the Rline looks schmick! (especially the Stormtrooper White)
... just weighing up the extra $4k



Does the Tiguan Highline with Rline maintain its resale value better compared with the stock Highline ?

Good answer. If you have to ask then no.

We were already going above our budget and stuck with the Highline. We found the base models without LED looked really poor but the Highline looks great. Sure I still appreciate the R line when I see it but I still love my car!

[tigger73]

In terms of resale I think these will come down but it's always a supply/demand thing. Almost everyone will want the R-line if they can stretch to it.

There's a couple of 2016 plated R-lines on carsales and the prices haven't dropped that much.

2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 162TSI Highline 5N Auto 4MOTION MY17 - $53,000 / 16,000 km

2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 162TSI Highline 5N Auto 4MOTION MY17 - $52,900 / 8,485 km

Actually these prices aren't that far off some the deals I've seen in the How much did you pay for your Tiguan? thread.

[ewok666]

The MY18 with the newer media screen is well worth it. I haven’t really looked at the older model but I’m glad our delayed Tiguan is an MY18!

On another note, I think the 20” wheels alone are worth the $4k. The car would undoubtedly corner much worse with the standard wheels. It’s still not a golf R but it handles quite nicely for what it is.

[tigger73]

Yes and the R-line gets adaptive chassis control as well which would help with better handling.

There's a fair amount in the R-line pack that would cost significant $ to add to the car later that makes it worth stretching the budget if you can.

With those nice White Side Body Kit, do you need mud flaps to protect the sides skirts from dirt / stone ships from the tyres ?
