Tiguan: New SHADE trims, standard Travel Assist, new turbo engine for SEL R-Line Turbo.

Volkswagen hasn’t announced any official “SHADE” trims for the Tiguan, nor a special SEL R‑Line Turbo model with a new engine. Current verified 2025 Tiguan information shows four trims (Trendline, Comfortline, Comfortline R‑Line Black, Highline R‑Line) and a single 2.0‑litre turbo engine rated at 201 hp across all versions. vwofcoquitlam.com
