The Volkswagen Tiguan comes with the most powerful 4-cylinder petrol engine which is also used in the iconic Volkswagen Golf GTI . This allows the Tiguan to provide sports car like performance on a day to day drive in the city and on the open highway. It is an award winning engine that has taken global awards year after year since its world introduction.
Beyond all the power and handling abilities of this Tiguan SUV, there is a list of innovative safety features included to keep the occupants safe and secure. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact luxury SUV that comes with a myrid of features and driver assistance systems. Unlike many of segment competitors the Tiguan leads in safety systems, both passive and active.
On such feature is the masked continuous main beam headlight system known as ‘Dynamic Light Assist’. Dynamic Light Assist makes manual switching between dipped and main beam headlights a thing of the past. At speeds of over 65 km/h the main beam is automatically activated, and it remains permanently active. Here is how it works:
A camera is integrated behind the front windscreen, the main beam light modules – in this case of the necessary bi-xenon headlights (including standard cornering lights and LED daytime running lights) – are individually dipped in specific areas in which the system has analysed potential glare to other vehicles in traffic. A masking aperture between the reflector with the mercury-free DS3 xenon filament and the lens makes this function possible. Along with an intelligent, lateral swivelling of the entire module (via the cornering light function) and individual control of the left and right headlights, this additional aperture geometry is able to mask the light source. This prevents light glare to oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead. What’s more, thanks to the front camera, the cornering light module can detect the precise position of the vehicle ahead, and starting at speeds of 60 km/h it “shifts” its light pattern up to the vehicle’s rear end, or even laterally past the car – also without causing glare.
