The Volkswagen Touareg is now being offered with an optional R-Line package to complement and enhance its sporty design.

The Touareg is the first model in the current Volkswagen model range to be offered with the optional R-Line Package. Volkswagen's flagship SUV has sold over 1200 units since its local market introduction in October 2010.

With its exclusive R-Design features and sport suspension, the R-Line Package gives Touareg a dynamic exterior look to make it stand out on the road.

At the rear, a textured "matt black" diffuser and oval tailpipes are integrated in the redesigned bumper section. The rear look is finished with a unique roof edge spoiler. The R-Design styling continues in the side view with striking side sills in body colour, chrome strips on the doors and R-Line badges on the front wings. The front also sports a new spoiler lip in R-Design. The exterior look is completed by 20-inch Mallory alloy wheels.

For the interior, customers get front sport leather seats, heated leather-trimmed multi-functional steering wheel with gloss black inserts, stainless steel pedals and door entry sills in stainless steel.

The R-Line package is available for R35 000 with all Touareg derivatives, except the Terrain Tech.
