2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R Line Black

The 2026 Tiguan is Volkswagen's compact SUV, slotting between the Taos and the Atlas in size and price. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Mazda CX-5, offering a more European feel. The Tiguan handles with a composed, planted character that makes it genuinely enjoyable on back roads. Inside, the cabin is quiet and well-built, with a clean dashboard and available third-row seating in some trims. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system and a full suite of driver-assistance features. The SE R-Line Black is the sporty-looking pick for shoppers who want the R-Line styling and 20-inch wheels without stepping up to the SEL. Its 2.0L I4 makes 201 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic, returning 28 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. Standard IQ.DRIVE includes Travel Assist for hands-on semi-automated highway driving, and the panoramic sunroof brightens the cabin.
