Volkswagen is adding some pizazz to its recently facelifted 2012 Tiguan SUV with the release of two R-Line packages, one for the interior and one for the exterior. Both packages are designed for the ‘Sport & Style’ trim model and come with a slew of visual upgrades.

On the outside, the exterior treatment includes more aggressively designed front and rear bumpers, roof spoiler, a black rear diffuser, R-Line logos, aluminium door sill plates and newly designed 19-inch alloy wheels with 255/40 tires.

The R-Line exterior package can be combined with any of these colors: Candy white, Reflex silver metallic, Deep Black pearl effect, Night blue metallic and Pepper grey metallic. Pricing in Europe is set at €2,460 (US$3,390).

The interior treatment adds a pair of sport seats up front, unique upholstery, a sports steering wheel, black roofliner, aluminum pedals, and R-Line logos. It is priced at €840 (US$1,160) or €2,120 (US$2,920) if you opt for leather seats.

VW hasn’t told us yet when and whether the R-Line Tiguan will be available in the U.S.
