The Tiguan, Volkswagen’s new compact 4x4, is now available for ordering from UK retailers ahead of its UK launch in February 2008. Prices start at £19,370 for the entry-level model, the S 1.4-litre TSI 4MOTION. This vehicle takes Volkswagen into a new market segment and has been eagerly anticipated since its debut as a concept at the Los Angeles Motor Show in November last year. The final model was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month, just ahead of its on-sale date in mainland Europe.
All Tiguan models will be offered with standard 4MOTION ‘intelligent’ four-wheel drive. The front axle adopts a strut type system linked to a lightweight aluminium support frame with electromechanical power steering. A four-link rear axle lends the Tiguan sharp dynamics suited to off-road applications.
