Tiguan 2.0 TDI 110 kW R-Line 4Motion DSG - R834 800
The third-generation Tiguan looks set to build on the success of Volkswagen‘s top-selling global SUV package. Volkswagen has sold more than 7.4 million units of this model since it was first introduced in 2007.
The Tiguan has been in the market for over a decade in South Africa and sold over 41 000 units since its local launch in 2009. The all-new Tiguan redefines SUV aesthetics with a confident and modern design.
The confident design is typically Tiguan and typically Volkswagen but still completely new. A distinctive feature is the higher, more powerful-looking front end with the integrated LED headlights. In-between, a glass-covered horizontal bar with an integrated LED strip replaces the traditional radiator grille adding emphasis to the unmistakeable Tiguan design.
The cleanly designed front highlights the fact that the drag coefficient has improved from 0.33 to 0.28. Athletic shoulder sections above the wheel housings dominate the silhouette. The wheels are up to 20-inch in size. A horizontal LED strip between the tail light clusters emphasises the width of the Tiguan’s new rear end.
The new Tiguan is available in three new colours, Persimmon Red Metallic, Cipressino Green Metallic and Oyster Silver Metallic.
Volkswagen has also completely redesigned the interior of the new Tiguan. With its high-quality materials and high finish standard, it breaks down conventional class boundaries. In addition, the components of the latest modular infotainment matrix (MIB4) are merged on board to create a clearly designed and closely integrated cockpit landscape that is intuitive to operate. The modules include the new Digital Cockpit (digital instruments with anti-reflective coating in tablet landscape format), a large infotainment screen with a completely new menu structure and graphics (standard display: 12.9-inches, optionally (15-inches), a new optional head-up display and a new multifunction driving gear shift with an integrated OLED display.
The new ergoActive Plus leather seats with pneumatic four-way lumbar adjustment and a pneumatic 10-chamber pressure massage function are a perfect match for the high-quality character of this SUV. These leather seats are optional on the Life derivative but come standard on the R-Line derivative.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan is optionally available with the new IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights; this high-tech lighting system with 38,400 multi-pixel LEDs (19,200 multipixel LEDs per headlight) has been derived from the new Touareg.
The new Tiguan is the first MQB model to be launched with the newly developed IQ.LIGHT HD matrix healights. HD stands for High Definition, meaning a high resolution of the light sources.
The new Tiguan has increased in length by approximately three centimetres. The height, width and wheelbase remain practically identical to the predecessor. The luggage compartment capacity of the new generation shows just how good the use of space is, although the SUV is only slightly longer, its luggage compartment capacity has increased by 37 litres to 652 litres (when loaded up to height of the rear seat backrests).
The new Tiguan comes standard with Park Assist Plus. Park Assist Plus is a system that is already familiar from other Volkswagen models: it allows assisted driving into or out of parallel or bay parking. The Volkswagen models take over control of acceleration, braking and steering for this purpose.
The driver assist systems of the new Tiguan at a glance are:
Trailer manoeuvring system (Trailer Assist)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Hill Start Assist
Park Distance Control (front and rear)
Electronic Stability Control with Electromechenical brake booster
Travel Assist
Driver Alert System
Park Assist Plus
Proactive occupant protection system
Rear view camera system
Lane Assist
Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert and exit warning system
Area View including rear view camera system
The new digital centre of the MIB4 (fourth-generation modular infotainment matrix) is the touch display of the infotainment system. The graphic interface, structure and menu navigation have been redesigned. The aim was to make operation simple, self-explanatory and customisable. To achieve this, the display has been divided into two touch bars at the top and bottom of the screen as well as the home screen. The driver can assign favourite direct access functions to large areas of the top bar and home screen. The individually configured top bar and static bottom bar remain continuously displayed when the driver opens various functions in the form of apps on the home screen. This considerably simplifies operation. Additionally, the new backlit touch sliders are located under the infotainment system display and are used to adjust functions such as cabin temperature and volume.
The large home screen in the middle combines the content of the most important apps on differently sized graphic tiles. Alongside classic content such as navigation, telephone or media, the tiles offer new functions as suggestions from the new voice assistant. If one of the menu options from the top or bottom bar is activated, this app is also displayed in the individually configuarable home screen.
The bottom bar on the display provides access to the air conditioning and seat functions and has a home button in the middle of the bar that lets the driver return to the central home screen at any time. This means the air conditioning menu, temperature settings for the driver and front passenger and configurable air conditioning functions can always be accessed directly.
The latest MQB models have digital instruments on board as standard, with a display diagonal of 260 mm. The graphic interface was also newly developed and the range of functions extended. Using the corresponding buttons on the multifunction steering wheel, the driver can select different basic graphic configurations (views) that can in turn be individually assisgned functions. There will be a choice of four views: Classic, Progressive, Navigation and R-Line.
