  • R-Line Package Governs the Refreshed Touran

    VW Touran R-Line Front ViewVolkswagen Touran in its latest form was previewed last week with the announcement that it goes on sale.  Now, the company is taking advantage of the clamor and is releasing an R-Line variant of the Touran. It will have the main benefits of exclusive new features for the interior and exterior, which will give it unmistakably athletic and dynamic appearance.

    The R-Line Package is for the Exterior…

    The R-Line Pack comes with characteristic front and rear bumpers. At the front we see two body-colored wing-like air intakes with C-shape gloss black signature and an R-Line logo in the radiator grille. At the opposite side, the rear, there is a sporty bumper contours adorned by a chrome strip.

    The sides have distinctive features, too. Such are the high-gloss black side sill extensions, silver anodized roof rails and R-Line logos. And of course it is literally impossible to skip the new alloy wheel rims, offered in a choice of 17- or 18-inch Salvador or Marseille wheels.

    …and for the Interior

    Although we don’t have picture of the cabin of the R-Line Touran, VW ensured us that there are a lot of benefits inside. For instance, there are ‘Race’ fabric covers and the extra comfortable front seats, titanium black roof liner, ‘Black Lead Grey’ decorative inlays for the instrument panel and front door panels, fabric floor mats with decorative stitching in ‘Crystal Grey’, front door tread plates in aluminium and pedals in stainless steel. This equipment will definitely create unique ambience and perfect cozy space for the occupants.

    The standard steering wheel has been changed with a leather-trimmed multi-function sports steering wheel, which includes decorative aluminium trim and R-Line logo. It is all about sportiness and athleticism for the new Touran, isn’t it?

    At last, if you are keen on buying Volkswagen Touran R-Line, then you should know that the package will cost you an extra of €2,155.

  • 2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line – Price £29,505

    Volkswagen has announced the price list of the 2013 CC R-Line. The R-Line offers even higher level of equipment than standard and GT trims. It also gives the CC a unique styling and appearance.

    The R-Line builds on the already generous equipment list of the GT, adding a distinctive R-Line front grille with round fog lights, R-Line front bumper, R-Line logo in the radiator grille, sill extensions, LED daytime running lights and 18″ Mallory alloy wheels.  The interior features an R-Line multi-function steering wheel and trim adds a distinctive touch to complete the look.  Despite the additional kit, the R-Line commands a premium of just £650 over the equivalent GT, with prices starting at £29,505.

    Two engines will be available with R-Line trim – a 2.0 litre 210HP TSI petrol and a 2.0 litre 177HP TDI with BlueMotion Technology which includes battery regeneration and Stop/Start systems.  Both engines come with a choice of either a 6-speed manual or smooth-shifting DSG gearbox.  The petrol engine returns up to 38.7 mpg UK on the combined cycle, while the manual TDI returns a very frugal 58.9 mpg UK.

    The CC R-Line is available to order from Volkswagen Retailers from tomorrow, with first customer deliveries due in late January.

    The CC R-Line line-up:

    Engine Price, OTR RRP, £ Combined mpg CO2 emissions, g/km
