◾Winner in the category 'Off-road vehicle and SUV up to 30,000 Euro'
Wolfsburg, 14 April 2016 – Readers of Auto Bild Allrad, Europe's largest magazine for off-road vehicles, have named the new Tiguan 'All-wheel Car of the Year'. The successful compact SUV from Volkswagen received the award in the category 'Off-road vehicle and SUV up to 30,000 Euro'. Since its market launch in 2007, the Tiguan has now won the coveted title of 'All- wheel Car of the Year' five times.
For many years, the Tiguan has been an important pillar of the Volkswagen product line-up. Since 2007, more than 2.8 million have been sold in over 170 markets worldwide, making the popular compact SUV into a best-seller. With the new Tiguan, Volkswagen intends to continue the success. The new design is now even more elegant, with a design radiating both power and confidence. At the same time, the interioris more generous compared with the predecessor and the infotainment offering has been extended.
The new Tiguan shines with a new range of eight engines from 115 PS/85 kW up to 240 PS/176 kW* – all more powerful and more economical than their predecessors – including four standard engines equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Several pioneering safety and assistance systems are available on the new Tiguan. They include Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and an integrated Pedestrian Monitoring; Lane Assist, a proactive occupant protection; and an active bonnet to protect pedestrians and cyclists. But the many minor details all pursue the aim of making driving and travelling more pleasurable. Finally, there is also a new optional range of ergo Active seats, a lowered load sill and an 'Easy Open and Close' system which makes loading and unloading much easier.
