I have 2 different hitch options for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line for you to check out and it just depends on what price point and style of hitch you're wanting to add to your vehicle.
For a standard hitch I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR which comes with a 2" receiver and has a matte black finish that looks better and is more durable than a standard glossy black finish.
For a specialized hitch I recommend checking out the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT62GR which comes with a 2" as well but the unique thing about this hitch is that the receiver can be completely removed when you aren't using it so your Tiguan reverts back to that clean OEM look.
Then for wiring you want the T-One # 118811 which tees in behind your tail lights and pulls power directly from your vehicle battery via the included power wire.
If you're looking to tow a trailer with this setup I also recommend checking out the Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 which is a good solution for smaller trailers.
Attached are some videos for you to check out.
