Introducing The All New Volkswagen Tiguan
Introducing The All New Volkswagen Tiguan
Date: 2016-10-14
The new Tiguan was launched in three different models: the Trendline, the Comfortline and the Highline. The Trendline and the Comfortline both share the 1.4 TSI engine, however with the Comfortline you are afforded the option of an automatic DSG gearbox, a gearbox that has become somewhat of a catch phrase nowadays due to its popularity and reputation in the motoring industry.
The Highline offers you a 2.0 TSI engine that produces 162kW and not a single watt is wasted on the road as VW's 4Motion technology allows the vehicle 4-wheel drive capabilities. This car has been critically acclaimed by the motoring world, earning a place as a semi-finalist in the 2017 WesBank South African Car of the Year (COTY) competition, alongside the Volkswagen Passat.
One thing I was seriously impressed with, when I got a chance to drive the Tiguan, was the amount of technology that is included in the vehicle, and the user friendliness of the infotainment system.
The car is an innovation in it's own way and uses cutting edge technology to conserve fuel whilst not compromising power. The Tiguan is so intelligent that it's computer systems gauges your driving and will switch off some of the cylinders in your engine when they are not in use.
This is a car you will really enjoy test driving, so feel free to contact McCarthy VW Durban on 031 - 367 6767 to book a test drive, or visit their showroom at 40 Monty Naicker Street, Durban.
