The All New 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan | Chicago, IL



It's good to be turbo.
Tiguan doesn't just stand apart from the competition, it blows right by.



There is a fine line between a mainstream SUV and luxury SUV and that's where the 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan resides -- a niche where fuel economy and utility collide with upscale interior and performance.

Introduction

The 2011 VW Tiguan's interior is a welcome departure from the plastic-trimmed cabin of the typical compact crossover. The quality of materials in this Volkswagen approaches that of premium brands, while the solid construction of this crossover SUV's interior eclipses that of its competition in the segment. Even the Tiguan's road manners achieve a certain level of sophistication. Compared to its rivals, the Tiguan is, in a single word, European.
The mix of European charm and engaging driving dynamics is what sets the Tiguan apart from the rest of the compact crossovers in it's segment.

Performance Highlights:

2.0L TSI® engine - this award-winning turbocharged engine with 200 hp and 207 lbs/ft of torque comes standard in every Tiguan. It's fast. It's efficient - producing 19 city/26 highway mpg (2011 Tiguan S, 6-speed manual transmission).

EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary.

4MOTION® all-wheel drive system (optional) - with available 4MOTION® on your side, the Tiguan will help you navigate almost any type of terrain with ease. With all four wheels actively in motion and constantly working together, all-wheel drive just didn't do justice to the special synchronized technology contained within the drivetrain. That's because 4MOTION knows when to punch up the power and when to ease up on each individual wheel. It's the ultimate kind of teamwork, and you get all the benefits without even having to lift a finger.

Six-speed automatic with Tiptronic® - to add a little sport to your Tiguan, VW thought you'd appreciate the option of a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic. That means you can push the gearshift into Tiptronic mode and enjoy the control as you shift gears yourself. Or you can kick it into Sport mode and enjoy enhanced acceleration at the simple push of the gas pedal.

Interior & Exterior Highlights:

RNS 315 touchscreen navigation (optional) - the RNS 315 puts a five-inch color touchscreen stereo and navigation system right at your fingertips. Not only does it come with a three-month trial subscription to SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, but it's also great at playing music you own. Whether it's on your MP3 player or a CD, your favorites are just a click away. Because sometimes enjoying the ride is just as important as reaching your destination.

40/20/40-split folding rear seats - normally, rear seats fold down in a 60/40 split. But not in the Tiguan. Instead, we gave it a 40/20/40 split for maximum flexibility and cargo space. So you can fold one seat back up to allow someone to sit there. Or you can fold them both back up and leave the middle folded down



Panoramic sunroof (optional) -  you can make the great outdoors the ultimate addition to your ride with the available panoramic power-sliding sunroof. What that really means is you?ll have a gorgeous view of blue sky when you?re driving or riding inside the Tiguan. That?s right, the back seats get the view, too. 


Safety Highlights:

Six airbags standard w/ Side Curtain Protection® - nobody wants to think about what happens in the event of an accident. Except for VW safety engineers. They made sure that the Tiguan has six airbags standing guard to help keep you safe. In the event of a collision, your Tiguan deploys the necessary airbags to help cushion you and any other occupants of the vehicle and help absorb the energy and forces from the impact.

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) - after the airbags have been deployed in a collision, the Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) automatically unlocks all doors, turns off power to the fuel pump, and turns on the hazard lights. That?s why we call it intelligent. Because it?s looking out for you when you need it most.
