With the introduction of the model year 2014 Tiguan range, Volkswagen’s front-wheel drive now offers all the features of the 118TSI Tiguan with the convenience of a 6-speed DSG transmission, priced from $30,990.

With BlueMotion technologies such as the start/stop system and brake energy recuperation as standard, the Tiguan returns excellent combined fuel consumption figures of 7.3l/100km when paired with the 6-speed DSG.

It is powered by a TSI twin-charged petrol engine which develops 118kW at 5800rpm and 240Nm of torque from 1500rpm to 4000rpm.

The Tiguan is equipped with a long list of safety features, such as electronic stabilisation program (ESP), brake assist and six airbags, as well as standard convenience features such as daytime driving lights, auto hold, cruise control, bluetooth connectivity with music streaming and a multi-function leather steering wheel.

Customers can also option the Tiguan with the innovative park assist 2 – parking bay and parallel parking assistance system.
