There will be a trio of the Volkswagen Tiguan models to replace the single original first released in 2008, and all of them have been confirmed for Australia’s growing compact SUV market. The new Volkswagen Tiguan is a five-seater and will go on sale by the end of 2016.
The model will be followed by the longer wheelbase car that is still going to be called the Tiguan but with seven-seater, that will come out a year after. Next, we will have the Volkswagen Tiguan Coupe or CC in early 2018.
For 2015, the Volkswagen Tiguan has been sold for about 5182 units, 1.8 per cent increase year on year in a small SUV segment that expands by 30 per cent in the same period. The SUV will have the chance to be top-sellers in its segment, which is dominated by the Hyundai ix35 (13k sales), Mitsubishi ASX (9880), Mazda CX-3 (8612), Honda HR-V (8158) and Nissan QASHQAI (7882).
Other than that, the Volkswagen Tiguan will be available in manual and dual-clutch automatic gearboxes, smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and many more. The only problem is that the SUV lacks boot space, which may not allow its users to put so much things.
