It was at the car park of the largest lake in Hungary that we spotted this latest Volkswagen Tiguan
Yes, it does look a lot like the latest VW Touareg (which is a large and powerful SUV) but this Tiguan remains a slightly smaller sibling.
Sales in Europe has been very promising and it is a common sight alongside its rivals from Japan and Korea.
Thanks to the latest generation TSI petrol engine and the additional powerful electric motor, the new Tiguan eHybrid delivers a combined system power that is offered on 204PS and 272PS variants. The electric range varies from 71 to 77 miles.
PRESS RELEASE: Volkswagen presented the all-new Tiguan and with it the third generation of the bestseller. The Tiguan is one of the most successful Volkswagen models in the world today. More than 8 million buyers have chosen the compact SUV since its debut in 2007.
Meanwhile, Kai Grünitz, Brand Board Member for Technical Development had this to say: “The latest evolutionary stage of the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB evo) forms the highly innovative technical basis of the third generation of the Tiguan.
Thanks to the large economies of scale of the MQB evo, Volkswagen is once again democratizing numerous high-tech developments such as the DCC Pro or the new hybrid drives with an electric range of around 100 km and making them available to hundreds of thousands of drivers.”
The new technological developments realised with the MQB evo improve the Volkswagen Tiguan in practically every area. New hybrid drives with an all-electric range of around 100 km make this SUV more efficient than ever before. In addition, AC charging will be faster in all eHybrid versions, and fast DC charging will also be possible as standard for the first time.
A cleanly designed Digital Cockpit based on the MIB4, the fourth-generation modular infotainment matrix, offers the highest level of information and brings digital services and apps on board.
The operating concept is designed to be consistently self-explanatory. In addition, new systems such as a pneumatic massage function for the front seats or the IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights – used for the first time in the Tiguan – are derived from the premium Touareg model. The new adaptive chassis control DCC Pro optimises comfort and dynamics. The latest Park Assist generation automates driving in and out of parking spaces.
