Vehicle Description
History
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover vehicle manufactured
by German automaker Volkswagen. Introduced in 2007, it uses the
PQ35 platform of the Volkswagen Golf. All first generation Tiguans
featured two row seating and transverse mounted four-cylinder
engines.
The name Tiguan, pronounced TEE-gwan, is a portmanteau of the
German words Tiger ("tiger") and Leguan ("iguana") and won a naming
contest by German car magazine publisher Auto Bild, from a field of
names that also included Namib, Rockton, Liger, Samun and
Nanuk.
Sharing its mechanical architecture with the Rabbit, the Tiguan is
almost exactly the same size as the Escape, but it's three to seven
inches shorter than the CR-V and RAV4, respectively.
Features & Options
Not unexpectedly for a German machine, the Tiguan SEL we have at
Skyway Classics, drives beautifully. Its steering is accurate and
feels just about perfectly weighted.
It has a White Gold exterior with a Sandstone interior with all the
factory options you can think of like radio with integrated CD
player, semi automatic climate control system, four electric window
lifts, electrically adjustable and heated outside mirrors, trip
computer, RF remote control of central locking and various storage
compartments and bins.
It also has alloy wheels, chrome roof rail, chrome strips on front
bumper and surrounding side window lining, tinted windows, sport
seats with height adjustable lumbar supports center console with
folding and height adjustable armrest, folding front passenger
seat, drawers under the front seats, folding table and storage
pockets on the backs of the front seats, leather for steering
wheel, gear shift knob and gear shift boot, fabric seats with
Alcantara accents, cruise control system and tire pressure
indicator and so much more.
The suspension is tautly controlled yet compliant on rough roads.
And for a tallish vehicle weighing the better part of two tons, it
displays excellent nimbleness and grip, achieving 0.81 g with its
235/50R-18 all season tires.
The Tiguan's powertrain is similarly satisfying. The combination of
the turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine
making 200 horses and a six-speed automatic driving all four wheels
propels the SUV to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds and through the quarter in
16 flat at 88 mph.
