Comparison Old and new Volkswagen Tiguan. Second generation VW Tiguan: more stylish and bright rides cheerfully, but shakes less
But it's good that the crisis! All puts in its place. Until 2014 it seemed that it was easier to add 100-150 thousand rubles and buy instead of Volkswagen another german car - Mercedes. And now these are different heights in terms of financial costs. No 100 thousand rubles decide anything. With 2 million rubles in the Mercedes salon, you can not come. And in VW for this money there will be a choice of two: old Tiguan and new. My friend sniffers in front of a test drive: Compare Tiguan with Mercedes GLC.: Is there something to overpay 2 times? See definitely diesel if you buy a car for low-income, then save on everything!
The first Tiguan always seemed frivolous, perky, insolidate, not youth, but for lungs and open people. Young soul. Small, wedge, with a raised kice ass. New - other business. As if someone had taken Audi Q5 and made it more beautiful and more practical. Thanks to the horizontal strollers of the tiguan radiator lattice looks wider, the round arches of the wheels make it similar to Audi. There is a feeling that the girl was replenished exactly as everyone dreams: the chest grew up on a size and a half, and no weight visible. The car has become longer, a little wider and lower, and the wheelbase has grown. In addition to the arches of the wheels, all lines are straight. The car looks strictly, but not so much to be boring. Personally, I lack emotions: what I want to love this car. Very very correct. Arches and lower doors are covered with black plastic. This is practical and protects from unnecessary scratches.
Salon interesting. Seat with a long pillow. No extenders - shortcuts will have to get used to. Pleasant chairs, and sit comfortably. The steering wheel itself goes into hand. Ranges adjustments - my respect! Buttons on the steering wheel a lot, and they need to get used to everyone, regardless of growth. I didn't have enough time to a short test drive. But this is all nonsense until I started the car and did not go on it. What is really complicated - so dashboard. She is beautiful, bright, completely virtual. And she gives out such a number of data that you want to turn it off at all. For engine temperature pointer Thank you. For the angle of rotation of the wheels on the off-road - too. But fuel consumption data, stock stock and a lot more in the center of the Speedometer and Tachometer scales are a real accident provocateur. Get distracted from the road, trying to figure out, everything is rippled and flashes red, blue, white and a little green ... To be honest, I don't need so much data. As the ocean liner is driven. But I will find out later when I go. In the meantime, I take the inner door handle, and she "breathes" in my hand. And it is made from some not too pleasant to the touch of plastic. Dealers immediately give an idea - to separate her skin. But the cotton door is noble.
But the multimediasystem is restrained in terms of the riot of paints. Everything is simple, clearly and understandable. The phone easily connects, but the duplication of the smartphone turns on, only when you connect it through the cord, and it seems only for iOS. Strange, why can not be done for all operating systems and via Bluetooth channel? Everyone is enthusiastic with a camera that shows the image from four sides. For me, the simultaneous image is fine. But it can be increased with each of the sides. The picture is good, but the cameras in the mirrors are easily dirty.
Under the central display, the climate block looks very premium and differs little from that in Audi: three rotating handles, and each zone has its own small display with temperature.
I look around - where to go phone. There are many such places: under the climate a large shelf, between the seats magic cup holders. I did not immediately understand how to put a container with coffee here: just boxing and two buttons. I pressed and received two cup holders. Cutches are closed by a curtain. The glove box is big, but hard inside. Why not make it a darous?
There is still a pocket in the door and a place under the armrest. The latter is adjustable in the height in the traditional VW style.
Behind the place is much more than before. In the backs of the front chairs, the tables with different fixed provisions. All provisions, except one, such that everything falls from the table. Side of each table gets out a cupboard with sharp edges. While I was pulled out - I put the hook on the sweater. Under the tables - pockets. Between the seats, the climate control unit and the cigarette lighter socket. Cool seat back. You can pull out the armrest - and in it, about a miracle, two more cup holders. Rear passengers can get enough on the road. And you can simply fold the central part of the back and put a snowboard or skis. You can adjust the angle of inclination of the back, and move the back chair forward, it is impossible to increase the trunk. By the way, the trunk has become more, in it hooks, a removable flashlight, a socket 12 and 220 volts. I always have a question: why is she in the trunk? Are these dreams about picnics? I need a socket right in the cabin - to charge the laptop at the front. But most cars are devoid of 220 volts sockets in principle.
It is good that the period of downsayzing motors is moving away. Motor 1.4 l no longer offer us. For Russia, two motor 2.0 l - gasoline and diesel. I drove on gasoline. Power 180 l. from. Distributes the robot DSG. About this on the lever of the selector there is a proud inscription. After all that hemorrhoids, who survived the owners of these robots, I would generally changed the name. For example, in Audi DSG. called s-tronic. In the meantime, the sellers proudly say that this is a robot DSG6, and you can not take DSG7. Reminds the situation with the iPhone and its cords. They constantly break, they all annoying, they stand as another phone, but no one refuses the brand.
The robot goes through the transfer quickly, but there is no speed of speed. Where are 180 "horses", I do not know. Perhaps a diesel engine is different, but gasoline frankly disappointed. Not that I expected to drive, but still Passat with a 200 liter engine. from. It is considered almost racing. I translate the box to Sport mode, but the effect does not give it. I pull the plastic petals at the wheel, trying to speed up the car. VW Tiguan as it would make me - driving calmly, stably and predictable.
Between the seats next to the robot selector there is a transmission mode selection knob. Now here is like in Land Rover., can choose different types Surfaces. We drove on the broken primer covered with ice and snow. In any mode, the car rides confidently, not sliding and not passing when slipping. Four actuator behaves confident. Ground clearance 18 cm does not seem small and allows and to be parked in the city, and turn right in a deep rut. I once again went on a broken road. We must admit - Tiguan is perfectly holding a blow. Throws up, of course, noticeable. For my taste, a harsh car. At the refueling, I am asked to open the hood to pour the wash, and it is easy to open the hood. It is necessary to first open the driver's door.
I go out of the car - already with a hemnel. Rear lights forgive Tiguan, in three quarters behind, it becomes similar to Hyundai Creta. And in front of the night he is beautiful. The beam of light makes the headlights narrow and predatory. Perhaps it is worth recognizing - the average and older VW machines are not at all for low-income. They are just for those who do not reach Mercedes more. You are not ready to perceive them as premium. But the amount of 2.3 million, which is asked for Tiguan, you will not call a buckle. This, by the way, is 600 thousand more expensive than the predecessor.
Volodya, why do you need me about Tiguan asked, do you want my daughter?
Are you so that the whole city pokes in me with your finger and say that Volodya on Mercedes did not have enough?! I just can't calmly survive that I would have to buy her AMG GLC43 for 5.3 million rubles, I think no matter how much I saved if I bought VW.
It seems to me that demonstrative consumption goes that we are buying more for yourself, and not for others. So in the VW cabin, the client compares Tiguan with Toyota RAV4, not with Mercedes. And I, while waiting for the dough, admired the VW Passat Alltrack wagon. It costs 3 million rubles, spacious, tree in the cabin, thin skin, four-wheel drive. But I can not buy such a thing. You all say that I was not enough for Mercedes.
And for whom Tiguan? In order to have a family who earn 100-200 thousand per month and should be close to their customers or cause envy and heartburn from colleagues. For someone who healthy appreciates their capabilities. For someone who spends a lot of time in the car or is forced to park in urban tightness. Head of Dopofis Large Bank, Head of Sales Department in Middle Business or A Little Firm Owner. I think this the car will suit And those who are forced to constantly dangle the city. Comfortable, universal in terms of drive and suspension and ready to go with cruising speed without jerks and overtaking.

In 2017, two new items come to the Russian market at once from the concern VAG - surviving the first shift of generations Tiguan title brand and absolutely new Skoda Kodiaq. Cars are built on the same MQB modular platform, which gives all the reasons to assume that they should be similar as twin brothers. Is it so? Let's try to figure out and compare the codiac and the new Tiguan in all respects.
Volkswagen Tiguan (new) and Skoda Codiac
Exterior and dimensions Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan
It would seem that car competitors of one concern, built on one platform, should differ from each other except the brand logo. But in the case of Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiak, this statement turns out to be completely incorrect. Cars although similar in their dimensions (except for length - it has 21 cm in Kodiaq), layout and used equipment, but have each character.
New Tiguan is the true brand of "folk" brand. It is restrained and calm, massive and brutalen. Rectangular grille, almost rectangular headlamps, straight body lines - solid classic. The codiac will like the fans of more modern and interesting, but at the same time not at all extreme design - a little less than straight lines and a little more dynamicity, and "Czech" looks where the fresh German fellow. Maybe it's about the age of chef-designers of brands? Josef Kabana is just 40, and Walter da Silva, who at the end of last year left the post of chief designer VW, at that time it was deep in 60. Yes, and Mikhael Mauer who changed it for 10 years older than Skoda's Slovak designer.
More options - 14 (10 in the metallic version) against 9 at Tiguan.
The height and width of the coding and Tiguan are almost identical to each other. The "German" wins at his competitor on a very important parameter - the size of the road lumen. At all-wheel drive version 4motion it exceeds 200 mm! An outstanding indicator for the "PARTNER". Skoda has only 188 mm clearance.
But Kodiaq leaves his opponent far behind the size of the trunk. No matter how much Volkswagen did not try to push the Czech machines into the second plan in comparison with the analogues of the title mark, while Skoda is not inferior to anyone. The minimum volume of the trunk at the codiac is 105 liters more than that of Tiguan, and the maximum (with folded second-row seats) - and at all on 410! Of course, the 5-seater version of Czech.

Interior Skoda Codiac and Volkswagen Tiguan
The richer and variable interior of Volkswagen, of course, provides for the crossover its title brand. Take at least finishing options - the codiac is only two with a classic set of colors - black, brown and beige. And buyers of Tiguan can choose from several options - here and fabric, leather, and suede (artificial). And there are more colors, including bright orange.
In both cars, various "smart solutions" are provided. Here you and the folding tables on the backs of the chairs, and different hooks-boxes, and dividing lattices, and the grids for the trunk ... Skoda, as usual, there are many branded "chips" like umbrellas in the doors or LED flashlight performing the role of the backlight of the trunk.
As for electronics and various comfort systems, then both crossovers have everything necessary - from climate control to interactive information and entertainment complexes of the App Connect and with the ability to connect smartphones. Moreover, many systems are already in the basic versions of the car - apparently, in Vag decided that you need to teach car enthusiasts from the purchase of "empty" machines.
But do not think that Kodiaq or loses Tiguan in terms of interior equipmentOr turns out to be the same as its German competitor. In fact, "Cech" has one important advantage - an optional third row of seats. As if someone did not relate to him, but the fact remains a fact - for Russia, the 7-seater version of the Tiguan, at least at the moment, is not provided for, and this is a serious plus in favor of the codiac.
Comparison of Codiac Salons and Tiguan
Technical Equipment Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan
Volkswagen Tiguan Motors Line Wider. Most of the power plants in the same car, but the "German" has a 2-liter petrol aggregate With a capacity of 220 "horses" and several diesel engines that are not installed on the Czech crossover: 2-liter power 115, 150 and 240 horse power. In Russia, a new tyaguan is sold with 1.4 TSI 125 and 150 horsepower and 2.0 horsepower with gasoline engines and 2.0 TSI 180 and 220 horsepower, as well as with a diesel 2.0 TDI with a capacity of 150 horsepower.
As for the gearboxes, here Volkswagen did not greeding and provided the codiac the same gearbox as the car of the title brand: the 6-speed "mechanics" and DSG in two versions - 6- and "wet" 7-speed. And no matter how big the fears of Russian motorists in front of the Volkswagenovsky "robot", he works, according to experts, is quite good. Here, for example, as Mikhail Kononchuk, Mikhail Kononchuk, with Motor.Ru, who tested a new Tiguan in Berlin in May 2016:
"DSG as if replaced - it is no longer tupit in normal mode and does not twitch in sports! Especially smoothly and logically, the box works in combination with Diesel - there is no questions at all. Relationship with gasoline engine A little less cloudless, but against the background of what was before, it is idyll and pastoral. "

Challenges and fuel consumption Skoda Codiac and Volkswagen Tiguan
The presence of more powerful engines in motor gamme Makes Tiguan leader in terms of high-speed qualities. The crossover with a 220-strong gasoline engine is able to accelerate up to 220 kilometers per hour, and with a 240-strong diesel engine - up to 228 kilometers per hour. At the codion, the maximum speed is 210 kilometers per hour.
After overclocking up to 100 kilometers per hour, the most powerful versions of the new Tiguan for a second with a little faster than Kodiaq.
As for fuel consumption, it is commensurate in cars.

Skoda in the first year of sales set, offering its customers Czech build cars in Ambition Plus premiums and Style Plus and only with full drive and robotic gearbox DSG-7 with "wet clutches". The company has already announced that in 2018 the localized assembly of KodiaQ in Russia will be established and the line of engines and completeations is expanded. Eactibly add MCPP and front-wheel drive. All this will reduce the base price of cars. russian assembly Approximately 1,500,000 rubles in 2018.
VW Tiguan 2017 or Skoda Kodiaq? What I chose (video)
Output
Those who choose, buy a skoda codiac or Volkswagen Tiguan, you need to understand first when they want to buy a car. And the "German", and "Cech" can be bought now. The only difference is that the production of Tiguana in Kaluga started at the end of November 2016 and the model is initially localized, and Kodiaq in 2017 "goes" to our country from the factory in the Czech Republic, where they collect "bears" for all European countries, and first Sold in Russia in a more expensive Czech version with limited ruler good complete sets. Therefore, now the price of VW Tiguan looks more attractive, in 2018 prices are crowded. As for the characteristics of cars, they are quite comparable, except for the presence of more powerful motors at Volkswagen (2-liter TSI in 220 "horses" for Russia).
A man in the winter hat with a visor, seeing the car, hatched his thick mustes. He did not even immediately notice the green light signal, which was finally allowed to move the road. Without hiding curiosity, pedestrian crossed cargo partNor for a second without taking away from the crossover. In the eyes of a man, on the view of which - about 50 years old, it was written "Want!". Belarusians love Volkswagen. Sincere love, which seems to be inherited. Belarus is one of five countries in the world, where the word "Volkswagen" is driven into search engines more often than the names of other car brands. Such close attention to the German brand originates in the 1990s, when Volkswagen fell in love with our fathers for reliability, unpretentiousness and low cost. Real folk car! But now everything has changed. It is hardly a mustache man who became interested in the new "Tiguan", suspects that the panoramic roof of this car is about as Golf II, the driver's chair has a bunch of electrically regulators with memory, and instead of the dashboard here - a huge display with a picture better than that of your telly at home . Onliner.by spent a day in a pair with a new crossover to find out how the Tiguan has changed much when changing generation.
Generally, this car has long been sold in Europe - official premiere Tiguan II passed in the fall of 2015. But the model is not supplied to us from Germany, but from Kaluga - hence and delay. In addition, the first "Tiguan" after metamorphosis with the Russian ruble became very attractive at the price and was sold relatively well. There was even a question to leave the old generation on the conveyor and parallel to release a new one. However, then all have shifted, and today you can buy Tiguan from the Belarusian dealer only in the last "booth" - the first generation is completely sold out.
Prices new SUV. Various from 47 to 65 thousand rubles (24,700-34,150,50 dollars). This is if not counting additional options. By the way, the price list does not have a R-Line package (in the photo below), which is currently officially unavailable for the TC market. It would hardly have been in demand, but keep in mind that on all advertising booklets the car is exactly different from other "er-pack".
But without sports "skirts" and gigantic wheels, the new "Tiguan" looks solid. The predecessor, whose design was created at the time of the fifth "golf", survived several fundamental changes in the corporate style of the brand. Dorestayling Tiguan I with Rhodster-style optics Concept-R (2003!) Many criticized for excess "zalisacy" and even femininity. The plastic surgery of 2011 was slightly corrected the state of affairs, but still a brutal bearded man with a face of McGregor's convict looked ridiculous in Tiguan. The second generation of the crossover as if three years was sitting on anabolics. Tiguan I was called the "soldier Golf". Tiguan II can be called "Sovedly Passat".
Fully diode optics in front - the domain of the most expensive versions
Rear lights have a cool three-dimensional pattern. At night do not confuse any other model
Optional disks nizza "18. Design for an amateur
Over the logo hides radar of active cruise control
Mirrors fold after closing C / s. And they can automatically adapt to the driver (the memory is synchronized with armchairs)
A smooth horizontal "edge" passes through the entire body. It adds a solidity machine
C B8 NEW RELIATING NOT ONLY MQB trolley (it is also "golf") with cross-location of the engine, but also the overall style of exterior and interior. The head optics combined with the radiator grill, the abundance of horizontal lines, a solid and rapid silhouette of the body, the "rejected" salon with a bunch of options and a virtual dashboard - similarities with the "Passat" more than parallels with restyling Golf VII.
A test dealer issued a top version of Highline with a pair-troop additional options. Motor - 2-liter TSI 180 liters. from. (It happens at 220 l. p.), conjugate with a 7-speed "robot" DSG (this is a DQ500 box with "wet" clutches - the most trouble-free DSG). Among the "extra" - 18-inch discs, expensive leather chairs, a panoramic roof, invincible access to the salon and MN. Dr. It is worth the car that you see in the photo, 37 thousand dollars at the rate. As "odnushka" without repair.
In the salon - the kingdom of Dracula. Almost all finishing materials are black. The front armchairs chain holds saddles, and the driver is still equipped with electrically regulators, including customizable lumbar support. The front panel architecture is logical in Volkswagenovsky. Below - the climate control unit, access to which does not overlap the KP lever. The floor above is a top multimedia system with a 8-inch display. Drive your finger - prompt tips in the bottom menu. Beauty! Near the selector KP is a ride mode switching washer. Despite the fact that this is the top version, on the tunnel - three soulless plugs, hinting, which could be left at a dealer a couple of thousand "y. e. ". For surcharge, these places will take the control keys to the "auto parker". The useless thing in the universe.
The second row has become spacious (there is an increase in 77 mm base). In the center is a comfortable armrest. From the backs of the front armchairs you can "hang out" tables with retractable cup holders. Already in the basic configuration for the rear passengers there is a separate climatic zone (and two in front). Rear sofa can be moved forward-back. Also changes the angle of inclination of the back, which allows you to increase the volume of the trunk.
The volume of the trunk is 615 liters (if the second row chairs are moving forward as far forward)
Folding the rear row, we get a volume of 1655 liters
In order to fold the sofa, you just need to pull the lever
The fifth door is equipped with an electric lifting angle limiter.
By pressing a pleasant key, I'll buy a motor, and in the cabin comes to life the most noticeable option of the new Tiguan is a virtual dashboard. Photographer, do not rush to fasten, we will deal with this miracle! I did not have to get the instruction. First, I remember how to configure this 12.3-inch tablet, since the Passat B8 test. Secondly, Kaluga Tiguan has no half of those frills that they were on the "Passat", therefore the functional of the virtual "cockpit" is strongly limited. Wow effect causes only the navigation mode when the speedometer and tachometer decrease and travel around to the sides, yielding the map. Belarus roads in regular navigation maps are still "classified", therefore a little sense from this display. Is that in the "off-road" mode you can observe the angle of rotation of the front wheels.
Tiguan II noise insulation is not easy to improve compared to the old model, and has become five classes above. Neither the sounds from under the hood, nor the "song" of the wheeled arches do not. The engine, of course, is heard with active acceleration, but not so much to deliver discomfort. "Voice" of the motor, by the way, so-so. Passport acceleration to one hundred - 7.7 seconds. Even too fast for the family crossover. The previous "Tiguan" with the same engine accelerated to 100 km / h for 2 seconds longer. That's what a "robot" means instead of a classical ACP! DSG impeccably changes the transfer, and if not to look at the tachometer, then the moment of changing the steps is immeasured.
Although Tiguan is positioned as an urban crossover, all all-wheel drive versions of the model are obtained "in the load" 4motion Active Control system that resembles Terrain Response from Land Rover. Even switches the same - the washer on the tunnel. The four-wheel drive is connected using the Haldex of the Fifth Generation Multidiscile Coupling, which is still faster than Newton meters along the axes.
At the disposal of the driver - four modes: "snow", "road", "off-road" and individual. You can still ring the settings of the chassis (clicking on the washer). Noticeable difference in 4Motion Active Control profiles. "Snow" mode is slightly dull gas, Offroad causes the "robot" longer to keep the transmission. All is configured individually. But the character of the suspension can be changed between "tough" and "very tough". Fans of a smooth impoverished ride new Tiguan. hardly like it. Even in the "comfortable" mode, fifth point you feel small butts of asphalt and other irregularities. And if you move the running in "Sport", you will notice even hitting a 10-penny coin. Despite the Kaluga residence, this is still European Volkswagen with the character configured to ride on autobahn.
Many Russian colleagues reported new "Tiguan" for excessive "artificiality" of the steering. This trend seems to be irreversible, and new cars are becoming more from a straight ligament "Driver - Front Axle." An electric motor that helps rotate the beam can be reconfigured (along with the chassis), and the steering wheel will become more elastic. You can even change the amount of its revolutions. In any case, driving the machine easily: to an effort on the steering wheel you get used to in 10 minutes and putting rolling at the speed of Tiguan in a protracted turn can be from the first time without any inflores and unnecessary televitations. There are no problems with the rapid passage of the snake or the detour of an unexpected obstacle. But there is also no emotions and the feeling that you yourself control the angle of rotation of the front wheels.
In general, Tiguan has become an adult, solid and a bit more expensive. This is the right urban crossover, stitched with electronics and more resembling the device on wheels. If you look into the list of equipment available for this machine, we will find a bunch of displays, assistants, assistants, radars, cameras ... Looks like all new cars will not show not on car dealerships, but at electronics exhibitions. But do you get much emotions from your smartphone? And the cars were once given the joy of driving. And this joy was not from a high-contrast picture on the tidy or a 3-zone climate, but from the sensation of the car. But Volkswagen does exactly what customers want, "produces modern high-tech models, which can be much more than those who knew the first space ships.
Together with the change of generation "Tiguan" changed the target buyer. Already 30 Belarusians left pre-orders for the car. According to representatives of dealers, these are middle-aged men. Although before Tiguan bought either women or older men. In Volkswagen, the crossover is controlled by a brutal 35-year-old man with a disheveled beard and in the Kedakh Converse. Funny hipster. Looks like this image and indicates a typical buyer of new items. The main thing is that this hipster is postponed by thousands of $ 30. The basic version ($ 24.7 thousand) although equipped under the urban, but it does not have the most serious 1.4 TSI, "mechanics" and front-wheel drive. There is an even excellent diesel version - 2.0 TDI (150 l. P.). By the way, it is with such a motor of Belarusians most often ordered a new "Tiguan".
The importer hopes to take C Tiguan leading place in the segment (competitors - Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Mazda CX-5, Ford Kuga.). We wish good luck. Although this year in class SUV is planned serious "moving": Not so long ago, a new Ford Kuga arrived in Minsk, the second generation of the popular PARTA PARTA CX-5, Skoda dealer already released a place for Kodiaq in the showroom. And the second will arrive generation Audi. Q5, with which the top tiguan tops will clearly interact. In general, in the segment of crossovers in 2017 will be hot!

FirstScope: New Volkswagen Tiguan through the eyes of the owner
old Crossover

Alive Volkswagen Tiguan in Russia was waiting. Waiting with a special trepidation, because his predecessor became a real bestseller of his segment! Even in pre-mounted age, Tiguan was included in the top 10 crossovers Class C +, visibly inferior only to more accessible and slightly losing more modern models. But after the update, everything has grown: dimensions and internal space, level of equipment and technologies - and, of course, the price. Will I be sad to predecessor, who fully justified his consumer properties? With this question, I sat in Moscow behind the wheel of a new Tiguana and went on it to Chechnya.
I don't know what I bought before Tiguan bought before, because I myself am its owner. For three years, we rolled 150,000 kilometers on it with the whole family, and believe me, it was quite rich years and a distance. Together with us, he visited all autodroms where the stages of the Russian series of ring races are held. He traveled along the ground paths and broken asphalt tracks, in the city jungle and on a wide highway.
In winter and summer, in the fall and spring, Tiguan is always lucky. In his modest trunk, half-fledged cement and more cubic meters of firewood were dressed, in it transported all the construction and economic nonsense, racing equipment - and sometimes I just slept in it, spreading the polyurethane foam rug and wrapped in a sleeping bag. In general, I think you have already understood that the test of the new Tiguan is a personal matter, even almost intimate.
And therefore, only sowing behind the wheel and immersing all the necessary things, I immediately go to the far path - to the Chechen Republic, on the road "The Fortress of Grozny". And the first feeling from the car, which arises from the owner of the old Tiguana - some kind of gigantic size of a novice! But very quickly understand that this is just a feeling caused by his design.
In reality, Volkswagen Tiguan increased only 3 cm wide, 6 cm long and began 3 cm below. Changes are minimal, and the visual effect is grandiose. The perception affects the "angular" style of exterior and "air" salon. IN far road It creates additional comfort and sense of confidence, but in the city with unaccustomed a little uncomfortable. But, hugging, maneuvering on narrow streets as confidently as on the "native" trigoon.
In profogo - whole complex electronic assistants, starting with traditional ultrasound sensors and cameras and ending with a parking assistant that drives the car to free space and along, and across. True, such an option is more useful for novice drivers: Tiguan himself does not always risk climbing the gap, where it was possible to squeeze me.
But a large trunk is not a mirage. Its volume has really grown, confirming the feeling of increased sizes. This is especially noticeable with the backs of the second row chairs: 615 liters against 470 at the progenitor! An additional 145 liters is a very nice bonus, and the difference will remain the same if you fold the backs of the back chairs. But it seemed that since the wheelbase had increased by a centimeter more than the length, then the whole increase would be happy with the rear passengers, and not flex. But the linkers found a compromise by adding the stock of the Sedokam's space and take the comments of those who criticized the trunk of the old model.
These additional 7 centimeters between the axes flavored with a decrease in the exhaust mass by 43 kilograms, changed the behavior of the Tiguan in the turns beyond recognition. On the one hand, now on a slippery road, he is less cordial for gas discharge - and for adrenaline lovers is minus. On the other hand, the car has become much more stable in any turns, whether it is a gender bends of highways or swirling loops of serpentine. And this means that any driver is both a pseudo-ripper event, and a newcomer who has moved with speed - with a greater probability will remain on the road.
So, we are going to Grozny, first cutting the space on the M-4 "Don" highway, then turning on M-29 "Caucasus". And it can be two different stories for the driver of another car, but not new Tiguan. It is absolutely indifferent to the coating under the wheels: adaptive cruise control comes to the residue on the long distilts of the new-built cruise control, and on the narrow areas of old highways, if necessary, the third generation motor 2.0 TSI motor and updated DSG-7 are joined.
The new power plant is characterized by an even wider working range - traction is always enough and everywhere. And now it can be argued that this combination has become even more reliable in terms of the resource, proven by other models of the concern. If you are experiencing - read our DSG resource material. Well, economy is also at the proper level. For a trip to Chechnya and back the average consumption was 7.1 l / 100km, and even if you add a few days in Moscow traffic jams, then the numbers still set up on optimism: 8.6 l / 100 km in a mixed cycle - a very worthy result. True, in pure urban mode, it was rarely descended below 10, but let's remember that you and one and a half tons of a new trigana carries a two-liter turbo engine.
In the regions remote from Moscow, the newcomers raises genuine interest. Quite often I was asked if it was not Touareg, but still, in the overwhelming majority, people recognized the successor of the past Tiguana in it. So I, I get used to new forms a bit, I notice more and more kinship between the two generations. And one of the main joint skills is the unexpected gifting of the city crossover on coverings that have nothing to do with the usual concept of "road".
Therefore, I decided to call dear any direction marked with regular navigation. So I climbed on the slope of the mountain, from where a chic view of Pyatigorsk opened. So I drove through a small field, circling an accident near Rostov-on-Don. And if the employees of Volkswagen were not lazy and drove through all these trails before pouring them into the navigator, then the cards for Tiguan and some Volkswagen Passat should vary: where the path of the sedan is ordered, you can slip on the crossover!
After all, it was the regular navigation that I started me on the stony slopes, and in a risky clay, but I never turned back. Although once wanted, yes, it was not possible to turn around in a deep rut - I had to pop up on Kosoyar to a normal road. At the same time appreciated the possibilities of the 4Motion Active Control system: let the Tiguan transmission calmly copes with diagonal hanging and confidently rowing in the mud, but before a complex site, it is still better to click the washer and choose one of the off-road modes and clamp the inter-axis clutch.
But I don't like something in the new crossover. First, there are complaints about the smoothness of the move: Tiguan does not notice long waves of asphalt at high speed, but nervously reacts to the pits with sharp edges and the sleeping police and causes the saddles bouncing. Secondly, the container fuel tank Now 58 liters are 6 liters less than the predecessor. But this is an additional 60-80 km of the stock of the stroke, which can always come in handy on the track. Thirdly, the excessive optimism of the navigation system can sometimes drive an inexperienced driver into an impassable deadlock.
All other quirks are associated with taste preferences. Probably pragmatic buyers will give up a gorgeous panoramic roof, but I like to see the sky above your head. The electronic instrument panel is the prerogative of an expensive Highline configuration, but I am ready to pay extra for it and in junior versions to configure the "tidy" at its discretion. After all, you can withdraw all that you wish - from fuel consumption to navigation. I liked the comfortable multimediasystem, well working with Apple CarPlay. And leather chairs with electrically regulators and memory are almost an ideal: I lacked only lateral support on mountain roads, but in the long road, the spin never reminded himself.
The wide possibility of transformation of the cabin is not just an advertising slogan. In all versions, except for the base, Tiguan allows you to not just throw back the backs of the rear sofa, but also to add the front with them passenger seat. In the cabin there are many places to store all sorts of trifles, tables for the rear passengers, a portable flashlight in the trunk and even a socket at 230 V. In short, the car is packed for all occasions. And this is a really decent successor to the former Tiguana, which is also suitable for an experienced driver and an absolute novice.
I suspect that when creating a new model, German engineers drove old car In boxing and began to think: what to improve it? And after thousands of exclamations started with the phrase "And what if ...", the most important of them took an important decision: improve everything! Further did the methodically worked out every detail, and when everyone did - they gave the test to the most different drivers. They collected their opinions and did all the work again, so that new "chips" fell to faithfully customers.
how owner Volkswagen. Tiguan last generation, I recognize the old car in everything. Everything is intuitive to me, and I haven't had to get used to anything, although each trifle is made in a new way. Probably, this is a German approach to creating a car. And on the example of the future leader of the crossover segment, I understand that it is worth it. When the time comes to change my Tiguan on something new, I will definitely know that a decent replacement exists.

Review of the new RW Tiguan: appearance Models, interior, specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. At the end of the review - a familiar test drive of a new Tiguana!
Review content:
The story of the Tiguan model takes its beginning since 2007 - it was then that first was shown a predictive prototype model, and already in 2008, the crossover went on sale in the world market. In 2011, Volkswagen autoconecern produced a small facelifting model, but there was no radically new solutions to the company's designers and engineers.
VW Tiguan is a small town crossover, combining the dignity of a car, as well as the permeability and capacity of the SUV. The progenitor model can be safely considered the VW Golf II Country, which was produced in the period 1990-1991, but did not attract due attention to the public. It is worth noting that the first generation of Tiguan diverged quite large circulation, but it could not repeat the success of the models Honda CR-V And Ford Kuga.
To reverse the situation in the market, engineers and designers Volkswagen again sat down for the drawings, with the result that we got a completely new, more stylish and presentable car - the second generation Tiguan, which in the company lay very high hopes. Immediately alleged that the car really turned out to be worthy and can safely claim the honorable place among compact premium crossovers.
Exterior of the new Tiguan.
In appearance new Volkswagen. Tiguan clearly look after the features of the previously demonstrated concept "Cross Coupe GTE", especially very similarity is viewed in the car profile, as well as in the form and location of the rear optics. In comparison with the predecessor, the crossover received a more solid and even several brutal appearance, remotely reminiscent of the last generation Touareg.
The car received a hood with several longitudinal "ribs", a more stringent and stylish radiator grille, an updated LED optics, as well as the original bumper with low-locked fogs. The body profile has become more smooth and streamlined, but an externally car is perceived significantly dynamic and sports. The arches of the wheels lost their usual bulge and began to look at an order of magnificent and elegant.
VOLKSWAGEN designers did not go around the car's face and feed, which received new LED optics, recycled door luggage compartment and sports diffuser.
Separately, it is worth noting that the car increased slightly in size and its dimensions now make up:
- Length - 4486 mm (increased by 60 mm);
- Width - 1839 mm (increased by 30 mm);
- Height - 1670 mm (decreased by 33 mm);
- Wheel base - 2681 mm (increased by 77 mm).
Interior of updated Tiguan.
The manufacturer notes that the new generation crossover Tiguan. It turned out a more convenient and spacious lounge, which was made possible by increasing the car's wheelbase.
Even in standard equipment The model acquired the possibility of adjusting the seats not only by the inclination, but also the location, while the seat movement area is as many as 18 cm, which means that the person of any complex will be able to accommodate the car in the cabin.
Volkswagen engineers radically revised the layout of the center console and the dashboard "Tiguana", so that the interior has become more presentable and stylish. Moreover, the salon became significantly lighter by using various shades of brown and plastic linings imitating natural wood. Following the fashion of fashion, chrome edging appeared on many details of the interior, which dilutes the classical rigor and the angularity of the interiors VW.
Once in the car, the first thing that pays attention is the new dashboard, which is now digital and is represented by a huge 12.3-inch display, which is output all the information necessary for the driver. It is curious that 5 options for its design available to the driver's choice.
Some more pleasant little things - the appearance of a multifunctional steering wheel, from which you can control the basic functions of the multimedia system and the information displayed on the instrument panel, as well as the replacement of the handle manual brakes on the button.
The central console received new block Microclimate management, a new multimedia system equipped with a 12-inch touch screen, as well as a new system of controlling the modes of the vehicle. The manufacturer notes that when creating the interior, the materials of the highest quality were traditionally used, and the assembly of each car passes several steps of control.
In the standard seat location in the cabin, the volume of the trunk is 615 liters, which, if necessary, can be increased by folding the backs of the second row of seats. Thanks to such manipulations, another 1040 liters of useful space are released, and the total luggage compartment increases to 1655 liters. At the same time, the manufacturer has provided the possibility of transporting a long train, for which you can additionally fold the right passenger seat.
In general, the Salon of the new Tiguan became not only more spacious and modern, but also adopted a lot of decisions from his "counterpart", Golf and Passat models, which adds several advantages to the general perception and functionality of the interior.
Specifications of the new VW Tiguan
Probably one of the most pleasant news for admirers of the VW autoconecern and the Tiguan model in particular will be the fact that improved technical characteristics did not affect off-road qualities compact crossover. The clearance of the updated modification increased by 11 mm and is now 200 mm, which, together with good skes, provides a car good geometric permeability. The novelty is equipped with a full-drive 4Motion brand system, which assumes the presence of several modes: Onroad, Snow, Offroad and Offroad Innodividual.
The line of power units of the updated Tiguan is represented by 7 engines: 4 gasoline and 3 turbo diesel engines. Gasoline versions are represented by a 1.2-liter engine capacity of 120 and 150 hp, as well as a 2-liter unit with a capacity of 170 and 200 hp Diesel modifications are represented by a 2-liter TDI with a capacity of 110 to 170 hp. On the choice of buyers, the engines can be equipped with 6-level mechanics or a modern 7-speed "automatic" with two couplings. The manufacturer emphasizes that in the basic version, the car will be equipped with only drive on the front wheels. The full drive system will be offered exclusively for extra charge and only in more expensive equipment.
Overclocking from 0 to 100 in the new VW Tiguan will take 8-10 seconds depending on the modification power aggregateAt the same time fuel consumption will vary from 5 to 14 liters. Representatives of the German autocontraser emphasize that their engineers managed to increase engine efficiency by 24%, which in all versions comply with Euro-6 standards.
Separately, it is worth noting that when creating the "Volkswagenitsy" housing, composite materials were actively used, thanks to which it was possible to prevent an increase in the mass of the crossover, despite the fact that its dimensions were significantly "grown."
