The eighth picture in the gallery attached to this article in Auto Express on the replacement for the VW Touran shows a white Touran with what looks like an 'R' badge on the grill.

What a brilliant idea!

No mention of a 296hp 2.0litre turbo in the text, but we can dream...

alas R line not R

VW milking the top model branding in the same way BMW sticks M on half their cars now, and Merc AMG

It will be an 'R-Line'

I've seen a few R-line polo's going about with an 'R' on the grille, 1.2L bottom spec engine.

ooooh...

Volkswagen could also launch a new R Line trim – already seen on the Polo, Golf and Passat. This would add sportier details including new bumpers and subtle R badging, plus R Line seat covers.


zzzzz....
