The New Volkswagen Tiguan - Sales started

Written by Mihai Antoci.

Because of the high demand, Volkswagen accelerated the sales of the new Tiguan. Priced at 24.175 euros in Germany, the new Volkswagen Tiguan will have it's world debut at this year's edition of Geneva Motor Show starting in March. A "Trend & Fun" version equipped with a 1.4 TSI engine generating 120 HP. The Tiguan has long been one of the most popular Volkswagens in the world. Its highest volume markets: all of Europe, Russia, USA, China, Brazil and Australia. In Germany, its average market share in the segment of compact SUVs grew to about 21 percent in the year 2010, and across Europe it was twelve percent. Globally, a total of 572,000 Tiguans have been delivered since it was first launched in autumn 2007.

The Touareg’s smaller brother is now poised to continue this success story with a new look and advanced technologies. The debut of the Tiguan in 2007 marked the advent of one of the great success stories in the German automotive industry. Practically from a standstill, this Volkswagen advanced to become SUV market leader in Germany.

That is still true today: The German Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles reported on 6 January 2011 that the bestselling SUV between Hamburg and Munich continues to be the Tiguan. Now, its successor is launching, and headlines about the new prototype have already appeared in some automotive magazines. The reasons for the Tiguan boom are obvious: with five stars in EuroNCAP crash testing, the Tiguan is one of the safest SUVs, and with its TDI and TSI engines it is also one of the most fuel efficient SUVs; it offers great comfort and quality as well.

So, its overall price-to-performance ratio sets a new benchmark, as confirmed by numerous comparison tests in the automotive media.
