268 horsepower, standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive, diamond-stitched leather and a 15-inch touchscreen. The top of the Tiguan lineup, now at Hewlett Volkswagen in Georgetown.
The third-generation Tiguan arrived with a quieter, richer cabin, a smoother ride and technology that felt a class above its price. The 2026 SEL R-Line Turbo completes the picture. Volkswagen fitted its 2.0L TSI with a larger turbocharger and strengthened internals, raising output to 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, a 67-horsepower jump over the rest of the lineup, and paired it with standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
Because this is the fully loaded Tiguan, there is nothing left to option. Diamond-stitched leather seating surfaces with massaging and ventilated front seats, genuine walnut wood trim, a 15-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, Harman Kardon audio and Park Assist Plus all come standard, along with R-Line styling, illuminated front and rear Volkswagen logos, and front and rear light bars.

The details that separate the SEL R-Line Turbo from an ordinary compact SUV.
A bigger turbo and reinforced internals give the SEL R-Line Turbo 67 more horsepower than any other Tiguan, with the strong midrange that makes passing on I-35 effortless.
Standard on the Turbo, 4MOTION sends power to the wheels with grip for surefooted traction in Hill Country rain, on gravel ranch roads or simply off the line.
The largest display in the Tiguan lineup, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a redesigned menu system and available voice assistance.
Diamond-stitched leather seating surfaces with heated, ventilated and massaging front seats turn a long commute into the easiest part of the day.
Front and rear LED light bars and lit Volkswagen badges give the SEL R-Line Turbo a signature look after dark, along with LED headlights and R-Line bumpers.
Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE suite is standard, and Park Assist Plus can steer the Tiguan into parallel and perpendicular spaces while you manage the pedals.3
Volkswagen did more than retune the software. The SEL R-Line Turbo's 2.0L TSI gets a physically larger turbocharger to move more air and strengthened internals to handle the added boost, producing 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 8-speed automatic keeps the engine in its strong midrange, and standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive puts the power down cleanly.
The Driving Experience Dial on the center console lets you move between Comfort, Sport and other drive modes, adjusting throttle response, steering weight and shift timing to match the road ahead.
Diamond-stitched leather seating surfaces, genuine open-pore walnut trim and 30-color ambient lighting set the tone. The front seats are heated, ventilated and massaging; the rear outboard seats are heated, and tri-zone climate control gives second-row passengers their own temperature setting. A panoramic sunroof brings light into a cabin that is already one of the quietest in its class.
The 40/20/40 split rear seat slides and reclines, and the cargo area grows from 33.8 cubic feet to 69.8 cubic feet with the seatbacks folded, which is more than enough for a Costco run or a weekend at the lake.5
The SEL R-Line Turbo's 15-inch touchscreen runs Volkswagen's latest software with a permanent climate row, a customizable home screen and wireless App-Connect for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Speed, navigation prompts and driver assistance status are projected onto the windshield through the head-up display, and the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro can switch between full-screen navigation and classic gauges.
Harman Kardon premium audio, a wireless charging pad and Wi-Fi hotspot capability round out the cabin technology.7
Every 2026 Tiguan includes Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE suite: Front Assist with pedestrian monitoring, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, Travel Assist and Emergency Assist.3 The SEL R-Line Turbo adds Park Assist Plus, an Area View 360-degree camera and Dynamic Road Sign Display.
