Turbo Charged Confidence on Idaho Roads: 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo at Boise Volkswagen

The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo is a game-changer, offering a serious boost in power, cutting-edge engineering, and a cabin tailored for comfort. For folks living in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the Treasure Valley, this all-new Tiguan is the perfect companion for mountain drives, daily commutes – and just about anything in between.

Performance For Living in Idaho

The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo has been supercharged to deliver extra oomph for Idaho drivers. The 2.0L EA888 evo5 turbocharged engine packs a punch with 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque – ready to give you a boost on I-84 or tackling those steep hills towards Bogus Basin.

Four-Motion all-wheel drive comes standard, providing solid stability for winter conditions, dirt roads & whatever else comes your way. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission & paddle shifters, the Tiguan balances smoothness with responsiveness, whether you’re cruising through the city or exploring the foothills.

Volkswagen’s engine enhancements go far beyond horsepower. The new turbo, lower compression ratio, stronger pistons and rods, nitrided crankshaft, and advanced cooling all work together to keep the engine firing on all cylinders even when the going gets tough.

Sleek Style with a Sporty Twist

The R-Line identity is all about looking the part, and the 2026 Tiguan doesn’t disappoint. The athletic touches and premium materials give the car a fresh feel. You get an R-line leather-wrapped steering wheel, double-stitched console coverings, and Varenna leather seats for an ultra-premium feel.

The column-mounted gear selector frees up space in the center console, giving you a more flexible layout for everyday use. With 2 rows of seating, the cabin is roomy enough for family gear, groceries, or just about anything else you need to carry around Boise.

Luxurious Comfort for Every Time of Year

Volkswagen has really thought of everything in the SEL R-Line Turbo. Standard features include heated first & second-row seats, a heated steering wheel for those cold Idaho mornings, and 8-way power front seats with lumbar and memory. You even get ventilated and 10-point full-back massage functionality in the front seats to make those long drives across the Treasure Valley a whole lot more pleasant.

Three-zone Climatronic automatic climate control lets you customize the temperature for everyone in the car, while wireless charging, wireless App-Connect, and the Easy Open & Close power liftgate make life a whole lot easier.

Technology That’s With You Every Step of the Way

A 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro comes standard, displaying crisp information, navigation, and custom layouts at your fingertips. The new 15-inch MIB4 infotainment display is the heart of the interior, introducing Volkswagen’s next-generation interface with clear menus and intuitive controls.

For music and podcast fanatics, the Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers crystal-clear sound, ideal for long drives across open Idaho landscapes.

The 2026 Tiguan also provides protection with eight airbags, including front center, rear side, and driver knee airbags.
