GREAT THINGS COME
IN SMALL(ER) PACKAGES

With a name as unique as its design, and a look all its own, introducing the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan, the smaller of the two Volkwagen Sport Utility Vehicles offers is still leading the way in versatility, performance and style.

A compact SUV that can comfortably seat five to seven passengers is presented by Volkswagen in a small, yet powerful package. Rare in that the small SUV offers a third row for extra friends or extra gear, this vehicle is fueled by a 184-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. That engine pairs perfectly with an eight-speed automatic transmission, making the Tiguan an absolute favorite for those wanting power, but not in an oversized package. The Tiguan has both front- and all-wheel-drive versions and offers a variety of important features that speak to leading technology and safety. The 2020 Tiguan offers a choice of touchscreen multimedia systems with an 8-inch display. Both include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity for driver convenience and entertainment.

Features available on the Tiguan include elegant Vienna leather upholstery that makes for a luxurious feel on the interior. Unique, yet subtle, color options like Storm Gray or Saffron Orange and Black are available. Luxury is also found in a heated steering wheel, with the vehicle also presenting dual zone automatic air conditioning, keyless access, push-button start, a digital instrument panel and a Fender premium stereo. Your music has never sounded this good!

While compact is in its name, it is far from it, making it spacious enough for a variety of excursions. It also gets quite a bit of attention as its contemporary design is made clear with bold character cues from front to back, hood contours that make a statement all its own, and an overall sophisticated presence.

Inside, the Tiguan fits all, with ample rear legroom set in a modern style that is going to draw you to the vehicle time and time again. There is also plenty of headroom and elbow room coupled with a spacious cargo measuring 73.5 cubic feet in the 5-seater model when you fold down the rear seats. It is designed to make both driver and passenger comfortable and secure. Outside, the lift gate is also hands free and easy to open and close. With key in pocket, just kick your foot under the rear amber to unlock and open the lift gate. To close it using this convenient feature, just walk away, and it will shut automatically.

The Tiguan has various “modes” to add to your comfort and confidence while driving, including Snow Mode where the engine upshifts earlier. This helps keep it in a lower RPM range and helps to prevent too much power from going to the wheels too quickly. On-Road Mode is the right choice on a paved road and allows you to choose from four different settings combining performance and comfort. In Off-Road mode, maintain traction when the road surfaces become challenging. On steep grades, for example, this mode can activate Hill Descent control to ensure your speed is a safe one while descending. With the Off-Road Custom mode, the driver is able to set various parameters including steering and all-wheel-drive options to their own preferences.

The Tiguan is downright good looking, and capable and competent at the same time! A turbo-charged, fuel-efficient 184-horsepower engine makes for an all-out enjoyable ride with the help of an 8-speed automatic transmission with Sport Mode. This gives you eight speeds for a smooth shifting experience each and every time. 

In the area of technology, the Tiguan does not fall short and impresses time and time again. With an available digital display that is a breakthrough all its own, information is shown digitally with high resolution, and is easy to use as well! The vehicle offers Driver Personalization that allows you to store up to four profiles, recalling your personal preference for a vast choice of different settings and systems. This makes your drive your own and your vehicle a complete reflection of you! That even includes your apps, which come on each and every ride with you. To take advantage of the App-Connect feature in your Tiguan, all you have to do is plug in your compatible smartphone, and Volkswagen does the rest! Watch as your select apps quickly appear on the touchscreen display. To map out your destinations with ease, the Apple Maps app is also readily available to provide your directions from the comfort and ease of your dashboard.

Safety is at the forefront in the Tiguan, with a variety of driver assist features that instill all-out confidence when getting behind the wheel. Available is Pedestrian Monitoring included in Front Assist that can warn you of pedestrians crossing in front of the vehicle and can even brake automatically to help prevent or mitigate a crash. The Blind Spot Monitor helps when attempting to change lanes by alerting you to cars that may be in your blind spot. The importance of safety is also brought forth with an Overhead View Camera that offers a better view of all that is around your vehicle. Other safety features include a Safety Cage to absorb crash energy; Intelligent Crash Response System that deploys airbags if needed; Automatic Post-Collision Braking System that ensures your vehicle does in fact stop after a crash; a Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Seven stability-enhancing systems that help maintain appropriate stopping power.

Comfortable in all road and weather conditions and perhaps the sharpest car around, the Tiguan ranks high in the compact SUV class. A picture does not do this car justice, so stop in and take a look for yourself — and a test drive today. It is not only an affordable European take on the compact SUV, but a contemporary vehicle that makes a statement all its own. Great things come in small packages. See for yourself!
