The new Tiguan is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the MQB platform, and this means the new model is lighter, more efficient, more spacious and comes with a more dramatic drive system. The new Tiguan is longer, lower and wider than the model it replaces and it starts the arrival of a range of SUVs in the Volkswagen range. There is a big step-up in quality with the new Tiguan, which will very much be the premium offering in the segment.

“The Tiguan arrives in a segment that has blossomed this year,” said Volkswagen Ireland’s Head of Operations, Paul Burke. “There has been a huge shift towards SUVs here in Ireland, and Volkswagen’s new Tiguan will install itself as the premium offering in this segment thanks to the fabulous build quality, increased interior and luggage space and generous equipment levels.”

Volkswagen dealers can now take provisional orders for the new car, with first deliveries expected in time for the 162-plate. There is currently a roadshow taking place where customers can get the chance to view the new model in their local Volkswagen dealership.
