The all new Tiguan
Volkswagen’s little Tiguan has grown up quite a bit for its second generation. The new Tiguan has gone from a compact and cute choice for young SUV shoppers to being a solid, spacious selection for small families raising the next generation of young drivers. Packing more amenities and more safety tech, the Tiguan is better than ever before in many ways.
The new 2018 Tiguan is about 11 inches longer than its predecessor, and both wider and taller, too. This opens up a lot of extra elbow room for all passengers and makes way for a newly available third row, giving compact SUV buyers seating for seven.
Front-wheel drive models come standard with three rows. Tiguans with 4Motion all-wheel drive start with just two rows, but can be upgraded to seven-passenger capability through a third-row seating package.
With both the second and third rows folded flat, the Tiguan boasts a spacious 65.7 cubic feet of cargo space, and an optional kick-to-open power lift-gate comes in handy when your hands are full.
If you value cargo room more than people room, opting for a model without the third row bumps your total cargo capacity up to 73.5 cubic feet, a full 30 percent more than the old Tiguan.
The new Tiguan is also more fuel efficient and the ride is smoother, quieter and much more comfortable, all positives for those looking for a family-friendly errand machine.
The newer platform of this second-gen Tiguan enables a level of driver aid tech that the previous Tiguan could only dream of.
Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts and pre-collision auto-brake assist with pedestrian detection help prevent fender benders. These features are standard at the SE trim level.
Post-collision braking keeps a bad day from getting worse by helping to prevent additional collisions after an impact and is standard across the board.
Stepping up to an SEL model grants owners adaptive cruise control that works all the way down to stop and go traffic, while SEL Premium models gain lane keeping steering assist tech, active assistance for the blind-spot and rear cross-traffic systems and automatic high beam headlamps. In parking lots, the top model also showcases a cool multi-camera Area View system that gives 360-degree visibility around the SUV.
If all these features are still not enough, it is our pleasure to announce that all Volkswagen vehicles are built with “Euro 5” compliancy and are friendly towards our environment and human health as well. This means, every time you drive a Volkswagen, you are helping our fragile environment by reducing the global carbon footprint and also preventing the spread of diseases caused by vehicle emissions.
