"New" Tiguan Available Before Launch! Order Now!
Volkswagen has a problem every carmaker dreams to have: Weeks before the new generation of a car is launched, the old generation is totally sold out. According to a Volkswagen press release, this is exactly what happened to the Touareg’s little brother, the Tiguan.
A facelifted Tiguan is scheduled to be unveiled on March 1st at the Geneva International Motor Show, to hit the showrooms later in spring. FYI, you are looking at Germany’s best selling SUV. With all old Tiguans gone, Volkswagen decided to start selling the Golf-based trucklet before it is launched. All over Europe, you can place your order today.
A base new Tiguan will set you back 24,175 euros ($33,000), which buys you a 1.4 TSI engine (90 kW / 122 PS) engine. (If you wait until it arrives in the U.S., you’ll probably get it for less – tax, title, tags not included.) Volkswagen proudly announces that in Europe, “the Tiguan is still at the same price level as the previous model despite numerous improvements.” According to the first pictures, the number of improvements appears to be bridled.
