So goes the new Tiguan

VW has renovated the Tiguan. Officially, the refreshed SUV as a "new Tiguan" is sold. As he is f?hrt kl?rt of the first test.
By Joachim State F?r Volkswagen, it is "the new VW Tiguan". The term "new" but only a model refinement, which ausf?llt as carefully as the Gulf hidden behind: between careful and banal. The face lift is just as much to justify this term. There is a new face, a deep bite out of the bottle with the just modern Assistant vitamins and a few HP more. Finish. The most important progress tr?gt the Tiguan visible on her. The new face adopted the good mood of Urmodells grin. Seriously instead of funny ? is fine him. With the Z?gen of gr??eren model brother he looks Touareg pup, daf?r he must join the fashion with the pungent Tagfahr LEDs. And the identical VW brand face already gets some of uniform boredom.

The tail lights of renovated Tiguan now shine in the golf style. Behind the nose ?ndert is otherwise but little. Behind the new nose, the multipurpose K?nstler remained untouched. New roof, Kotfl?gel, T?ren, handles ? free according to the motto: at best, nothing. Only the tail lights now shine in the golf style. Also in everything as before: the cockpit is so easy to use, that you will find many Kn?pfe with closed eyes. Good thing, because the many gray really is no joy. After the "facelift" gl?nzen even the L?ftungsrosetten in "dark rhodius", one (we guessed it) grey metallic. Reflects this interior about the German taste?

The new Kopfst?tzen come from the trade winds and can be adjusted not only in the H?he, but also l?ngs the head back. Under the hood, VW is the good sound better: the two litre TDI 140 HP (with 54 percent share of the purchase beliebtester engine in the Tiguan) is acoustically pleasing discreetly to works. Sporting ambitions come on in any situation, only the high seating position lays down bes?nftigend as a g?tige hand on any hint of Vettel feeling. Nat?rlich benefits the fuel consumption, the zus?tzlich with a start stop system gez?gelt is ? it turns off the engine at traffic lights and reducing the TDI to 0.3 to 5.8 litres diesel thirst. Draws only in the BlueMotion model, which sensibly invested 400 euro extra costs and thus the view of the prices.
The rates have remained the same not only at the new Tiguan, VW has on it included even a bit standard equipment. The basic version zus?tzlich l?ngs adjustable Kopfst?tzen are "Trend & fun" and daytime running lights serienm??ig on board, the more popular "sport & style" version was still st?rker aufger?scht: rain sensor, new 17-inch R?der, T?rdekor and M?digkeitssensor evaluate the car on ? or discourage the discontinued model according to the point of view. The new Tiguan as 140 PS TDI costs 30,000 euros with all-wheel drive and BlueMotion package. If you want, screws the price with new 395 euro, the Einpark automatic tools from the Passat loose ? euros the regulation of the high-beam upwards 315, the track holding Wizard from 495 euro, the Park pilot 755 euros. The desire to save about the all-wheel drive, because you much in the town of f?hrt, is further entt?uscht: Why is there no gasoline engine with front-wheel drive and automatic? "We ?berpr?fen the demand," it hei?t at VW. K?ufer are so gedr?ngt to the expensive diesel. Who ordered the "new Tiguan" now, but still a bit must wait: fr?hestens the first copy is delivered in November 2011.
