Are you looking for the right Volkswagen to help you stand out from the crowd? Do you want something that combines style and performance, in a fresh way? Well, Desjardins Volkswagen may just have the vehicle for you. The updated 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen’s entry into the CUV (Compact Utility Vehicle) segment, combines Volkswagen’s exceptional history of design and performance into a small(ish) vehicle that packs a big punch.
Design
The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan saw a serious refresh from the Tiguan that Volkswagen had been selling since 2007. A longer silhouette, more interior room, more technology, and a renewed aesthetic have firmly catapulted the 2018 Tiguan to the top of its class. Whether you are looking at the base Trendline Tiguan, or something a bit sportier, like the R-Line Package with 19” Trenton alloy wheels, a unique front grille, and R-Line badging, the newly updated Tiguan and its sharp lines and aggressive stance provide a ton of visual impact when compared to any of the other vehicles in its class. Not only does the newly redesigned Tiguan look great from the outside, but a premium interior with available 3rd-row seating and an available panoramic sunroof means it looks great from the inside as well.
Performance
The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan continues Volkswagen’s heritage of fun to drive vehicles. A turbocharged engine (which runs on regular fuel as opposed to premium like in the past) is matched to an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission, providing a smooth and steady source of power. Not only does this allow the 2018 Tiguan to be exceptionally quick, but it also makes for improved fuel economy thanks to all the power available at lower RPMs. The 2018 Tiguan is also nimble; Volkswagen’s 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive, an intelligent AWD system that provides variable power distribution, ensures that you can handle any conditions you may encounter on the road.
Technology & Safety
The options and technology available on the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan make it one of the most high-tech and attractive, not to mention best bang for your buck, CUVs on the market. With options of either a 6 or 8-inch touchscreen, with hands-free, voice-activated App-Connect, as well as an available 12.3-inch, fully customizable Digital Cockpit, the 2018 Tiguan offers an array of choices for those looking to stay connected while on the move, without having to take your hands off of the heated steering wheel. Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit is worth the price of admission alone — it can inform you, among other things, about your fuel consumption and how long you have until you need to refuel. You can also load up to 4 custom driver profiles, which will automatically adjust everything from your mirror position, preferred climate control settings, favourite radio station, and more. This is, however, only scratching the surface regarding the features on the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. With the available 3rd-row seating, you’re going to want to make sure you and your passengers are always kept as safe as possible. This is why the 2018 version of the Tiguan has a ton of available safety features, everything from LED headlights with Adaptive Front-light System, Park Distance Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, 360-degree Area View, as well as Lane Assist.
If you’re looking for a vehicle that provides unparalleled safety alongside smooth performance, wrapped in a sharp and exciting package, then the refreshed 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is the vehicle for you.
