Volkswagen Tiguan 2010 - VW new face SUV
German automakers Volkswagen (VW), recently introduced a new face Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) them, VW Tiguan. As quoted from Worldcarfans, this facelift VW Tiguan mat present in Guangzhou Auto Show, China. Selected countries outside of Germany to introduceVolkswagen Tiguan the latest generation, pointed out by some observers predicted the automobile. Analysts said, China will become the locomotive motor vehicle industry in the world starting next year. VW Tiguan This latest design is similar to the front side with a Golf or Scirocco. Strict lines of horizontal runs on the grill.
"SUV that VW is likely to adjust to market special form in China which will look different with the Tiguan is available in Europe and North America," called Worldcarfans. Unfortunately, the local media in countries that do not mention what happened the difference between the Tiguan to China and Europe.
Boundless
Power and economy. Compactness and space. Civilisation and wilderness. The Tiguan crosses boundaries. It merges the characteristics of a compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with the design of a genuine sports car. Hardly surprising that the Tiguan is conquering the market with no fewer than two front end designs.
For the style conscious: the Tiguan “Trend & Fun” and “Sport & Style”
The “Trend & Fun” and “Sport & Style” equipment packages create an elegant on-road design. The low swung front apron lends both versions a sporty look. Dynamism on the road is also guaranteed. The sportive tuned suspension is firmly sprung and perfectly tuned to the 4MOTION four-wheel drive.
For adventurers: the Tiguan “Track & Field”
The ambitions of the Tiguan Track & Field are evident at first sight. The sharply contoured front end creates masses of ground clearance, making it ideally suited for overhang angles of up to 28°, so there is nothing to stand in the way of a quick off-road excursion. The special thing: the off-road functions required for this can be activated simply at the touch of a button.
Volkswagen has taken to calling its new 2009 Tiguan compact utility vehicle the “GTI of sport utilities.” Now, we like the Tiguan just fine. It’s one of the better vehicles in its class, really, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, an available six-speed manual transmission (rowing your own gears is rare in this class), optional all-wheel drive and the usual selection of goodies available from most of its competitors, and then some. Through the roads around the Rocky Mountains outside of Boulder, Colo., where we first sampled the Tiguan, we found it to be an enjoyable vehicle in most respects.
But there was nothing about the Tiguan that reminded us of Volkswagen’s GTI. The fabled hot hatchback boasts great handling and power in a sophisticated package compared to cars like the Civic Si or the Subaru WRX. About the only GTI-like thing about the Tiguan is its price, which comes in considerably higher than many of its Toyota and Honda competitors. Price aside, if it really was the GTI of its class, we’d be jumping up and down, singing its praises, and probably standing in line right now to buy one.
As it is, the Tiguan is more like the Rabbit of compact crossovers. It is a little more fun to drive than its competition, offers up a more sophisticated European driving experience, and has a conservative German style that looks good without being flashy. In the same way the Rabbit appeals to those who need an inexpensive compact, but want an alternative to the homogenized world of Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics, the Tiguan will appeal to those who need a crossover, but don’t want to see themselves coming and going in a Honda CR-V. They’ll likely be happy with it, as long as they know that it ain’t no GTI.
