ESSEN, Germany — Saying that the "world of sporty
Volkswagens is becoming significantly more economical," the German automaker rolled out newly designed
R-line packages at the Essen Motor Show that put a premium on looks.
The German automaker said the R-line packages would first make their debut in Germany in 2007. Previously, the "R" has stood for high-performance VWs such as the 250-horsepower Golf R32 and the 300-hp Passat R36.
Volkswagen Individual has designed three different
R-line options for the
Golf. The base upgrade starts with the Golf Trendline, a package that includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport leather steering wheel, R-style pedals, door trim and an R logo on the side of the car.
The uplevel
Golf Plus R-line package adds seats with R embossed headrests and "engine spin dark" interior trim. The exterior R-line package can be ordered separately from the interior upgrades. It includes R logos on the sides of the front fenders, a roof edge spoiler and special air inlets.
Three R-line packages are also rolling on for the Touran,
Passat and Passat Variant and
Touareg. The extensive list of appearance changes include an Exterior R-line package for the Touareg that adds a matte chrome finish radiator grille with dual fins, custom bumpers, special side running board and 20-inch alloy wheels.
