Driver, meet Tiguan. Tiguan, meet driver.

Distinctive German design
The new Tiguan is instantly recognizable as the Touareg’s little brother. A superb European compact SUV for every day, on-road or off. And with three trim levels, it can be configured to the driver’s individual preference.

Intelligent storage and space
The interior’s well-designed storage options — including various clips, cardholders and bins — give you space for everything, so you can retrieve important items quickly and safely at any time. When you really need lots of room, the front passenger seat folds down completely f lat, and the rear seats fold forward and can be divided 60/40 for those awkward items.

Powerful and economical engine
The Tiguan comes with the 2.0L TSI engine found in the GTI, which delivers 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. Depending on trim level, you can choose from a standard 6-speed manual transmission or options such as a 6-speed automatic Tiptronic® transmission, with or without 4motion®. For you, this means maximum performance with outstanding fuel economy made possible by Volkswagen's TSI - direct injection technology.

Massive towing capacity
Tiguan’s towing capacity clocks in at 998 kg. That’s more than a fullgrown moose. Not that you’d want to tow such a thing, naturally. But it gives you an idea of what the Tiguan is capable of. And if it doesn’t, we invite you to find out for yourself.

The Tiguan has optional (on automatic models) 4motion to help tame the toughest driving conditions. It's ready to spring into action and adjust during hazardous road conditions. That's because it constantly monitors the individual traction of each wheel, and makes the necessary adjustments. If a tire slips, 4motion reduces power to the wheel. If a tire can accept more torque, 4motion sends over a little extra muscle. For example, when the Tiguan is driving straight ahead and there's no difference in grip between the wheels, 90% of the power is sent to the front axle and 10% to the rear. The only thing you'll notice is the consistent all-wheel drive technology that always has your back.

The Tiguan features a state-of-the-art navigation system*, your new best friend on the road. You can now get to the playground of your choice
without having to stop for directions. The system combines a sophisticated radio with precise touch screen navigation and easy-to-use map views on its 6.5-inch high-resolution wide screen display. A 30 GB hard drive can store map data (10 GB) and audio (20 GB) files entered via the optical drive or SD card slot. The optical drive can read CD, DVD and DV D Audio formats. And thanks to the Media Device Interface (MDI), the system can work with any MP3 player or USB stick.

Just so you know where you are in relation to hard-to-see objects behind you, a rear view camera* makes parking easier and safer.

*Optional with Technology Package on Comfortline and Highline.

The available Dynaudio®** sound system produces the best sound qu ality of any compact SUV. Featuring 8 speakers, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and 300 watts of digital amplification, the system is tailored specifically to the acoustics of the Tiguan's interior, and delivers powerful sound for every passenger, no matter where they're seated.

SIRIUS® Satellite Radio is the perfect way to enhance your driving experience. With 110 channels to choose from, including sports, news, talk, entertainment, and 100% commercial-free music, you'll always be tuned in to what's new and happening.

**Optional with Technology Package on Comfortline and Highline.

The Tiguan is outfitted with a torque-endowed engine — a newer version of our award-winning GTI engine, which was named one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines three years in a row. It’s no wonder the Tiguan is the first-ever compact SUV that feels like a sports car. Now you know why we had to give it such a weird name. A 2.0L TSI engine makes the Tiguan ultra-efficient and powerful — that’s 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, to be more precise. The advanced TSI direct injection technology amazingly improves fuel economy, reduces emissions, and enhances responsiveness all at the same time. The straight
injection system pumps fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Less waste. Less lag
time. The “T” stands for Turbo. And we all know what that means.

Every Volkswagen comes standard with lots of features that work in harmony to both help you avoid an accident and help protect you if an accident is unavoidable. And we are constantly updating it, because when it comes to safety, there's always room for improvement.

Dual Front and Dual Front Side Airbags*
Can deploy within milliseconds.

Side Curtain Protection®*
Deploy down the roof line from the A-pillar to the C-pillar to help reduce head
and upper torso injury in the event of side impact.

Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) and Engine Braking Assist (EBA)
Help improve handling and prevent skidding in slippery conditions.

Electromechanical Power Steering System
Your Tiguan’s steering has variable power steering, which means you’ll get a consistent
response no matter how fast (or slow) you’re driving. Also, since it doesn’t use
steering f luid, it’s a completely sustainable solution. We’re big fans of win-wins.

Electronic Stabilization Programme (ESP)
Our most advanced traction control system ever helps the driver stay the course by
kicking in corrective forces when tires start slipping. ESP is most effective when the
driver is taking evasive action during sudden maneuvers, like when avoiding an accident.
Incidentally, ESP also stands for Extra Sensory Perception. Hardly a coincidence.

Auto Hold
Whether you’re going up or downhill, Auto Hold controls the hydraulic pressure to help prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward once
you come to a complete stop. Even if you take your foot off the brake.

Electronic Parking Brake
No need to pull levers and push pedals to set your parking brake. Just simply press the electronic brake button, and it will set itself. To get going press the button again while your foot is on the brake and it will release.

Fog Lights
Fog lights come standard. We thought it would be nice for you to see through the haze.

¹Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all accident scenarios. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.

The Tiguan comes loaded with lots of features you
know you want, and a few you’ll want once you
find out they exist. Like rear seats that not only
fold down, but also slide forward or back to allow
more rear cargo room and rear passenger leg
room. The Tiguan even has an adjustable cooling
glove box to keep your favourite items chilled.

Panoramic Sunroof
This sliding sunroof is three times larger than a conventional sunroof. It’s almost 1360 mm long and 870 mm wide — an area of almost 1.2 square metres, which extends over a large part of the interior. Obviously, that can let a lot of sun in, so we threw in a power sunshade for whenever you feel like blocking the rays a bit.

Barracuda™ Bike Holder
Durable and rugged, the easy-to-use arm
secures a bicycle, securely. Base carrier bars
can handle up to 3 Barracuda racks.

Ski/Snowboard Deluxe Rack
This easy-to-install rack holds 2 snowboards or 4 pairs of skis.

Tiguan’s exterior will turn heads. It helps that alloy wheels and fog lights come standard, and that there are available Bi-Xenon® headlights with
Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS). A sleek design and slightly off‑setting size makes you look twice, and then it transfixes your gaze. It’s like a
reverse Medusa story — you won’t turn to stone, but you’ll most likely get inside the Tiguan and go climb some or head for a distant shore.

We believe firmly that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And that conviction extends beyond what’s under the hood. Inside the cabin of the Tiguan, you’ll find high-quality materials, with premium trims like baseball stitching and chrome finishing. In addition, the Tiguan is the first compact SUV to offer an optional 1.2 square metre panoramic sunroof, the largest ever offered in its class.

The Tiguan is the first compact SUV from Volkswagen. It zips around corners like a dream, and once you get inside the cabin, you’ll never forget the tingling feeling you get. Kind of like your first love. Wait, perhaps Tiguan is your first love? Conscientiously designed, the Tiguan is made with the belief that you only need as much SUV as you need. Just enough to get you and your stuff to the playground. Whether that playground is the neighbourhood park, or Banff National Park. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Everyone on the playground will thank you. And if the playground itself could talk, it would thank you too.
