Asia will finally have a taste of the German-produced vehicle, the VW Tiguan as it makes its Asian debut during the Taipei International Auto Show which opened last week and will continue to run until the 7th of January this year.
The Marketing Director for VW Singapore, Dr. Olaf Duebel, said, “The Tiguan, often nicknamed the ’small brother’ of the Touareg, can be recommended for drivers who enjoy outdoor activities in the country.”
Dr. Duebel has guaranteed that drivers of the VW Tiguan will enjoy the model, with all its performance, versatility, and its glamorous design. But still the VW Tiguan prides itself of providing highly comfortable driving behaviors which can adapt to both city and countryside driving. At the same time, it remains to be a great off-road vehicle because of its SUV built.
This VW model is available in three versions – Sport & Style, Track & Field, and Trend & Fun and all are offered in tow variants. Both the Sport & Style and the Trend & Fun versions were designed more for use in on-road driving. This is because these two versions have safe and highly comfortable driving characteristics, making hem perfect for city and countryside driving.
On the other hand, the Track & Field version is especially-designed for use off of the asphalted trails with its 28-degree entry angle before impacting the front of the car. There’s a newly-developed off-road mode that’s available in the standard version of the VW Tiguan. This mode helps wih controlling a wide range of assistance systems which, in turn, will allow drivers to experience a relaxing, comfortable, and safe off-road driving.
With regard to the power unit used, VW will propose three TSIs models for gasoline engines – direct injection engine complete with turbo-charging or a turbo-charging plus super-charging. This engine is equipped with four cylinders which are capable fo delivering 110 kW / 150 PS, 125 kW / 170 PS and 147 kW / 200 PS, respectively.
