Experience the Thrill: The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo Arrives at Bachman Volkswagen Soon

Louisville drivers, get ready for a dynamic upgrade to your daily commute. The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo is set to redefine the compact SUV segment with its blend of performance, style, and advanced technology. As the premier Volkswagen dealership in Louisville, Bachman Volkswagen is excited to introduce this exhilarating new model to our lineup.

Unleashing Power: The Evo5 Engine

At the heart of the 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo lies the robust EA888 evo5 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Delivering an impressive 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, this engine marks a significant 67 hp and 51 lb-ft increase over the standard Tiguan powertrain.

With enhancements like a larger turbocharger, stronger pistons, and variable valve lift on both intake and exhaust, the evo5 engine offers improved torque at low speeds and high power at the top end, minimizing turbo lag and ensuring a responsive driving experience.

Sophisticated Design Meets Sporty Aesthetics

The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo boasts a bold new look, featuring a black roof, mirror caps, and distinctive 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. An illuminated VW logo and light bar adorn both the front and rear, while the “Turbo” badge on the tailgate signifies its enhanced performance capabilities.

This model’s design evolution presents a more assertive stance, aligning with North American SUV preferences.

Cutting-Edge Interior and Technology

Inside, the Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo offers a refined cabin equipped with Volkswagen’s latest infotainment system.

A 10.3-inch digital cockpit pairs seamlessly with a 15.0-inch center touchscreen, providing intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings.

Standard features include:

• Wireless charging

• App-Connect connectivity

• Three-zone climate control

• Premium 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system

Comfort is paramount, with heated, cooled, and massaging front seats, as well as heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel.

Performance-Oriented Yet Practical

While the Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo emphasizes performance, it doesn’t compromise on practicality.

The model maintains the eight-speed automatic transmission and suspension setup from its predecessors, ensuring a familiar yet enhanced driving experience. Larger brake discs improve stopping power, and standard all-wheel drive provides confidence in various driving conditions.
