A 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is optional.
Volkswagen will show a revised Tiguan sport utility vehicle next month in a world debut at the 81st Geneva International Motor Show. Tiguan’s two different versions – one for on-road use and one with much higher ground clearance for off-road driving – will continue to be offered.
Not surprisingly, more optional electronic systems will be added, including fatigue detection, a camera-based headlight beam control, and a lane assist.
Tiguan will launch in Europe this August with an estimated base price of €24,175, and follow in the U.S. later.
In Europe the usual bewildering array of engines will be offered, the result of various tax schemes, all of them force fed four-cylinder direct-injection engines. Three of the seven engines are new to the Tiguan engine line-up. The four petrol engines (TSI) produce between 90 kW / 122 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS. The three diesel engines (TDI) span a power range from 81 kW / 110 PS to 125 kW / 170 PS.
A 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available as an option. All Tiguans with BlueMotion Technology also have a Stop/Start system. They reduce fuel consumption by up to 0.7 l/100 km in the new SUV, according to VW.
