The Tiguan

Exceptional style is literally written all over the face of the Tiguan R-Line with the optional Black Style exterior design package. The radiator grille with the elegant R-Line logo comes in two colours: while the outer strips are finished in chrome, the two inner strips are in high-gloss black. The black mirror caps and window surrounds along with the 90% darkened rear and rear side windows also demonstrate class without revealing too much. This is matched by the glossy black trapezoidal trim elements and the 19-inch Valencia alloy wheels in black. You also have the option of 20-inch Suzuka alloy wheels in black or Misano in black with a high-gloss burnished surface. This what a powerfully expressive appearance looks like.

The Tiguan’s spacious interior is a place for forward thinkers: thanks to the intuitive controls of the driver-oriented cockpit, you can now concentrate entirely on the essentials. This is ensured by the multifunction steering wheel in leather, for instance. Or the Digital Cockpit Pro with its 26 cm (10.25 inch) TFT colour screen. From the Life specification package upwards, you take your seat in the front on especially pleasant comfort seats. And the ambient lighting creates a high-quality feel-good atmosphere, too.

The Tiguan is fully resplendent. This is not least ensured by the optional IQ.LIGHT – LED matrix headlights. They feature cornering lights and are supplemented with dark red rear lights as well as a dynamic high beam control: depending on the situation on the road, individual LED segments for light distribution are switched on or off selectively. This not only allows you to have relaxed car journeys, but also everyone driving in front of you or coming towards you. Another spectacular feature: the integrated dynamic turn signal that indicates the direction with flowing light movement.

From now on, you'll see your Tiguan in a new light every day. To do so, gently illuminate the interior in 30 colours. Whether a cooler or warmer colour climate, in the illuminated metropolis or at night on the dark country road: depending on the occasion, you can create a different, suitable atmosphere for yourself and your fellow passengers. The background lighting is available as standard in the Tiguan Elegance and Tiguan R-Line and is available for you on request in the Tiguan Life.

Which wheel and tyre combination is right for your Tiguan is a matter of taste. For example, how do you like the optional 20-inch Misano alloy wheel for the Tiguan R-Line and the Tiguan R-Line with Black Style exterior design package? However, we’re certain that you’ll make the right choice.

The optional Emergency Assist comes into effect in a medical emergency as soon as it no longer registers any activity on the part of the driver by attempting to revive the driver. If it is unsuccessful in doing so, it brings the vehicle to a controlled stop within the system limits and can prevent an accident if necessary in this way.

With Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), your Tiguan stops you exceeding a pre-set top speed and enables you to maintain a minimum distance to the vehicle in front. In conjunction with an optional navigation system and traffic sign recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control is further enhanced by predictive cruise control and cornering assistance. The system therefore helps you to avoid speeding by adhering to the official speed limits. Plus, the system also uses route data from the navigation system to adapt your vehicle’s speed to bends, intersections (junctions) and roundabouts. ACC comes as standard from Tiguan Life upwards.

In the event of an impending rear-end collision, thanks to Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring, your Tiguan can help to reduce the severity of the accident or – ideally – avoid the accident altogether. It can detect pedestrians and vehicles on the road and warn the driver in good time if pedestrians and vehicles are detected. If the driver fails to respond, the system automatically initiates emergency braking.

Monotonous journeys can also turn into dangerous situations. This is where Lane Assist can help. At speeds above 60 km/h, it recognises if your vehicle leaves its lane unintentionally. The system corrects the steering and draws the driver’s attention back to the road.

Within the limits of the system, the proactive occupant protection system ensures your safety in critical situations such as an impending collision. It can identify situations where there is a greater risk of accident. It then automatically closes the windows and the tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof and also tensions the front seat belts as a precautionary measure. It’s good to know it’s there. It’s better to never need it.

Virtually nothing is more difficult than reversing with a trailer. Unless you’re sitting in the Tiguan: simply engage reverse gear, press the parking switch, enter the desired direction of travel for the trailer, take your hands off the steering wheel and relax. Now all you have to do is accelerate, apply the brakes and monitor the surroundings – the optional Trailer Assist does the rest. This means that even with a towing capacity of up to 2,500 kg, manoeuvring is easy.

Petrol or diesel? Both are the right decision – for high efficiency, economy and suitability for everyday use. This is ensured by an intelligent combination of direct injection and turbocharging technology – known as TSI technology in petrol engines and TDI technology in diesel engines. The turbo diesel engines in your Tiguan use so-called twin dosing: by coupling two SCR catalytic converters, it is possible to achieve a further reduction in emissions.
The engine range is completed by the Tiguan eHybrid: a plug-in hybrid with electric and TSI petrol engine.

The sun happens not to be shining? No problem. Even in wet, icy or bumpy conditions, the optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive makes sure the engine’s power is distributed to all four wheels as required. This helps stop the wheels from spinning, improving your Tiguan’s traction on almost any surface. Or in other words: comfort comes first.

This includes the electronic driving profile selection 4MOTION Active Control – allowing you to get even more out of your permanent all-wheel drive.

You have opted for 4MOTION drive? If so, you automatically get the electronic driving profile programme 4MOTION Active Control. Choose between four profiles. And be amazed at how the system adapts the drive features of your Tiguan optimally to the terrain, thus ensuring more comfort and driving pleasure.

• Snow: for smooth and snowy terrain
• Onroad: for driving on the road
• Offroad: for adventure off the road
• Offroad Individual: for individual settings

4MOTION Active Control also includes the electronic differential lock XDS.
