PRESS RELEASE:
First pictures: Powerful appearance – this is the new Tiguan
-Statement: new Volkswagen SUV with powerful design
-Borderliner: predestined for the street, in top form for off-road
Wolfsburg, June 28, 2007 – With the first pictures of the new Tiguan
Volkswagen is starting the countdown for the debut of it's 14th
model series. The Sports Utility Vehicle – SUV for short – will be
presented to the public for the first time in September as part of
the International Motor Show (IAA in Frankfurt). A combination of
power and elegance characterizes the design of the new Tiguan. It
was conceived as a borderliner between the urban world and endless
landscapes, between business and leisure time. The Tiguan is a
multitalent with driving characteristics that are just as agile as
they are comfortable, high utility value and groundbreaking
technologies.
Like the Touareg, the second Volkswagen SUV also presents a
self-confident design. Shaping the front of the new Tiguan are the
sexy proportions that Volkswagen first introduced with the Concept A
Study that garnered worldwide attention – a crossover of a coupe and
SUV. On the sides an elongated and powerfully modulated silhouette
spans between the extended wheel arches with a – typical Volkswagen
– unmistakable C-pillar. A very short overhang characterizes the
steep rear end. Also significant are the front headlights and rear
lights with matching shapes.
First facts on Tiguan engines: Volkswagen will offer the SUV – and
this for the first time worldwide – exclusively with turbocharged
direct injection engines. This "high-performance turbocharging"
significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions, yet immensely
increases dynamics and driving fun.
Overall there are three TSI and two TDI engines. Of these the
completely new developments are the extremely quiet TDIs with common
rail fuel injection. They achieve 103 kW / 140 hp and 125 kW / 170
hp and at 1,750 rpm already output 320 Nm or 350 Nm in four-wheel
drive. Both TDIs already meet the limits of the Euro-5 standard
first coming into effect in 2009.
Also getting to the point powerfully, economically and cleanly are
the turbocharged direct injection gasoline engines in the
performance levels 110 kW /150hp, 125kW /170hpand147 kW /200hp. New
to the Volkswagen program are the 150 hp and 170 hp versions. A
glance at the torque values makes one sense that the TSIs are very
high torque. The 150-hp TSI already develops a self-assured 240 Nm
(from 1,750 rpm). In the 170 hp and 200 hp performance range it is
280 Nm (from 1,800 rpm each).
"Tiguan Base" on the internet shows just how big the interest is in
the new Tiguan. Visitors to www.tiguan-base.com can log in to the
virtual world of the Tiguan. The development stages of the new SUV
are presented in photos, films and facts. Within just 15 weeks – and
this is sensational – more than one million people have made use of
it worldwide. It looks as though the Tiguan is developing into an
exciting chapter in the history of the automobile. |
