The new Volkswagen Tiguan and T-Cross Black Editions sit above the already smart R-Line trim and come with black exterior styling elements including York alloys – 18-inch for the T-Cross and 20-inch for the Tiguan. Both cars also have IQ.LIGHT matrix headlamps, which can bathe roads in up to 500 metres of bright light, and LED rear tail lights with dynamic turn signals. The Tiguan Black Edition also gains a driver assistance package, which includes useful safety-first features such as Lane Assist and Emergency Assist.
Two petrol engines are available for the T-Cross Black Edition: a 1.5 TSI 115 PS unit, paired with either a manual or automatic direct-shift gearbox (DSG), and a 1.5 TSI 150 PS with DSG.
The Tiguan Black Edition is available with a choice of two 2.0 TSI engines allied to DSG and 4MOTION all-wheel drive – a powerful 265 PS version and a 204 PS power plant that is completely new to the UK Tiguan line-up.

Black Editions have long been a popular choice among Volkswagen drivers seeking enhanced style and street presence. These newcomers bring the number of Black Editions in the Volkswagen UK range to eight, adding to the Polo, Taigo, T-Roc, T-Roc R, Golf Hatch and Golf R Black Editions unveiled earlier in 2024.
The T-Cross was updated at the start of this year with a revamped design, enhanced standard equipment, Volkswagen’s latest infotainment technology and a newly designed high-quality interior. More than 1.2 million have been sold worldwide since the model was launched just four years ago.
The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s biggest-selling model worldwide. The all-new version launched in January this year has a completely new look inside and out, including a multi-function driving experience switch with integrated OLED display. The vehicle is built on the latest version of Volkswagen Group’s highly successful modular transverse matrix platform, MQB-evo, which allows for a host of new systems and drive profiles to be included.
New Tiguan R-Line engine
The new 2.0 TSI engine with 204 PS, DSG and 4MOTION for the Tiguan Black Edition is also being added to the Tiguan R-Line trim.
