Time surely pass quickly. Twelve years has already gone by since Toyota released its RAV4. After those twelve years, Volkswagen is proud to introduce its small and yes, a ca-based SUV. This latest innovation from VW is tagged as the Tiguan. With the introduction of Tiguan, VW is sure to compete as well as take consumers from its rivals Honda and Toyota.

The VW Tiguan is expected to hit the American market next spring. It is powered by 200 hp, 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Those who will avail of it have an option of either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. One of the features of the VW Tiguan that makes it a must have for most people is that it makes use of diesel and as a diesel-powered vehicle, it has vigor that no other gasoline-powered vehicle can measure up to. According to the drive test done by the people in Volkswagen, the diesel Tiguan has the capacity to go beyond the 30 mpg mark. They even believe that the vehicle could reach up to 40 mpg when on the highway.

As is expected from a Volkswagen vehicle, the Tiguan is stylish and is quite good-looking. In other words, it appeals to the eyes. It has a well-executed cabin that features a navigation screen cluster. Aside from this, it has comfortable front and rear seats. Those who will avail of the Tiguan can even opt to have a full-length sunroof. When it comes to the suspension system, it boasts of Vw shocks that ensures one of a comfortable and smooth ride. For more information on shocks and how it is able to function, visit the Bilstein shocks website.

Some say that the Tiguan is the mean between the BMW X3 and the Honda CR-V. It has class and style but looks casual enough for an everyday ride. The best part is that as a sport utility vehicle, one can drive this vehicle to snaky forestry roads with no apparent difficulty. Now that’s what we call style that is deeply synched with functionality.
