The new Tiguan

Its exceptional stylishness is literally etched on the face of the new Tiguan R-Line with the R-Line “Black Style” package. The radiator grille bears the fine R-Line logo in two colours. While the outer strips are chrome, the two inner strips are in high-gloss black. The black mirror covers and window border strips, along with the 90% tinted rear side and back windows, also project this understated class. These are matched with trapezoidal panels in black gloss and “Valencia” 19" alloy wheels in black. You also have the option of “Suzuka” 20" alloy wheels in black or “Misano” in black with a high-sheen surface. The impressive appearance is complete.

The generous interior of the new Tiguan is a space for forward-thinkers. With the intuitive controls of the driver-oriented cockpit you can now concentrate completely on the essentials. For example, the multifunction steering wheel in leather. Or the Digital Cockpit Pro with its 26 cm (10.25 inch) TFT colour display available to you as standard with the Tiguan Elegance and Tiguan R-Line. The Life specification package provides you and your front passenger with especially luxurious comfort seats. The LED interior lighting in the front and rear and the ambient lighting* create a cosy atmosphere of the highest quality.

The Tiguan shines in full splendor. Also thanks to the LED tail light clusters and the optional IQ.LIGHT - LED matrix headlights. In the Tiguan Elegance and the Tiguan R-Line these come with cornering lights and are complemented with the dynamic Light Assist and new taillights. Thus, depending on the driving situation, individual LED segments are specifically switched on or off for the light distribution. This ensures that not only you have a relaxing drive but also everyone in front of you or in the oncoming traffic. Another spectacular feature is the integrated dynamic turn signal that shows the direction with a fluid light movement.

From now on you’ll see your Tiguan in a new light every day, as you gently illuminate the vehicle interior in 30 colours. Whether with a cooler or warmer colour climate, in the brightly-lit city or on a dark road at night, depending on the occasion you create a different, suitable atmosphere for you and your passengers.  Ambient lighting is part of the standard equipment for Tiguan Elegance and Tiguan R-Line, but also available for Tiguan Life on request.

Which tyre-wheel rim combination suits your Tiguan best is purely a matter of taste. For instance, how do you like the optional “Misano” 20" alloy wheels?  We’re sure you’ll make the right choice.

The optional Emergency Assist* intervenes in a medical emergency when it detects that the driver is no longer active, and attempts to reactivate him.** If this is not successful, it brings the vehicle to a controlled standstill within the limits of the system and can thus also possibly prevent an accident.

* Available in combination with the optional Travel Assist
** Within the limits of the system

Thanks to its Front Assist emergency braking assistant with Pedestrian Monitoring, your Tiguan can help reduce the severity of the accident or, ideally, avoid the accident in the event of a collision threat.* It can detect pedestrians and vehicles on the road and warn the driver in time. If the driver does not react the system can initiate emergency braking.*

* Within the limits of the system.

The proactive occupant protection system protects you within the limits of the system in critical situations such as imminent collisions. It can detect situations in which there is an increased risk of an accident. It then automatically locks the windows and the tilting and panoramic sliding sunroof, and tightens the front seat belts as a precautionary measure. Good to know that this is possible. Even better if you never experience it yourself.

The impressive new optional sound system from Harman Kardon offers sophisticated sound and a refined, elegant design. Made for lovers of quality sound who don’t just want to hear music when driving, but to celebrate it. Balanced treble and precise bass await you. Harman Kardon delivers undreamed of sound in your Tiguan.

Petrol or diesel? Both could be the right decision – for high efficiency, economy and everyday practicality. This is enabled by an intelligent combination of direct injection and charging technology known as TSI technology in petrol engines and TDI technology in diesels. And thanks to the use of BlueMotion technology you save additional fuel without losing dynamics, for example with brake energy recuperation and the start/stop system. The so-called twindosing is used for the turbodiesel units of your new Tiguan: by coupling two SCR catalysts, emissions can be reduced even further.

You’ve chosen the 4MOTION powertrain? Then you also automatically get the 4MOTION Active Control driving profile program. You choose from four profiles, and you’ll be amazed at how the system adapts the powertrain features of your Tiguan optimally to the surface and makes driving even more comfortable and enjoyable.

• Snow: for slippery surfaces and snow 
• Onroad: for driving on roads
• Offroad: for off-road adventures
• Offroad Individual: for customised settings

4MOTION Active Control also contains the electronic differential lock.

No sunshine? No problem. The optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive ensures that the engine power is distributed between all four wheels according to requirements even on a rainy, icy or  bumpy surface. It thus prevents spinning and gives your Tiguan increased traction on practically any surface. In other words, comfort first.

This includes the 4MOTION Active Control electronic driving profile selection, which allows you to get even more from your permanent all-wheel drive.
