Dive into the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

If you're looking for a small SUV, you'll find a dizzying array of choices. But if you're looking for a compact SUV with updated technology and safety features that is nimble enough for city streets and yet still spacious enough to accommodate up to seven people, the new 2018 Volkswagen leaves its competition in the dust. With a 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a Best Compact SUV of 2017 award from Cars.com, and a spectacular warranty, the Tiguan is a smart choice for drivers near Lowell who want it all.

What's New?

The 2018 Tiguan boasts a complete redesign for the new model-year, making it a fresh, exciting addition to the segment. The things that made its predecessor strong carry over, so you can still enjoy the comfortable, quiet ride and the quality interior materials. The 2018 Tiguan is a bit larger than its previous iteration, boasting extra passenger space, cargo room, and even a third row. Its updated, sculpted exterior gives the Tiguan a bolder, more powerful stance.

Performance

Whether you need to set off to master the busy streets of Boston or head away from the city, the Tiguan is prepared to power you through to your destination. Every Tiguan comes with a turbocharged 2.0L TSI engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This little powerhouse can crank out up to 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque to give you a smooth, confident ride. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but every trim offers the option for the available 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.

Equipped with AWD, the Tiguan supplies superior handling, traction, and stability on slippery roads. You can switch between a variety of driving modes on the fly such as Snow Mode, On-Road Mode, and Off-Road Mode to take full advantage of the Tiguan's stunning capabilities. With precise control at your fingertips, you can take on any drive with utmost confidence.

Technology

The new Tiguan offers plenty of the up-to-date technology features you need to help you remain connected and entertained whether you're cruising around Andover or taking a long trip. Access your favorite apps, listen to music through the available Fender Premium Audio System, send messages, make calls, and more when you integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in an available 8-inch touchscreen.

You can also opt for the available Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, a 12.3-inch screen that replaces the traditional instrument cluster with a high-resolution digital display. This gives you a crisp, clear view of your vehicle's status as well as a Wide Map Navigation View to help you find your way around Burlington, MA and the surrounding areas. The Tiguan can also keep track of up to four driver profiles, memorizing individual settings so it can welcome you back like an old friend.

Safety

The new Tiguan doesn't get to flaunt the 2017 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK title without earning it first. Front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones and an Intelligent Crash Response System helps to keep passengers safe in the event of a collision, making this compact SUV remarkably crash-worthy. But that's not all the new Tiguan has to offer. Opting for the Driver Assistance package adds a suite of advanced safety features designed to help you stay out of harm's way in the first place.

Driver Assistance features include:

• Forward Collision Warning
• Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Park Distance Control
• Area View camera system
• High Beam Control

Interior

With a body that is over ten inches longer than that of its predecessor, the 2018 Tiguan has more room for your passengers and all your stuff. The three-row Tiguan offers over 73.5 cubic feet of cargo space when you fold the rear seats down. The Tiguan even offers a third row for extra passenger space. Combine all this extra space with high-quality soft-touch materials like available Vienna leather seating and convenient features like the available hands-free liftgate to create a breezy, comfortable driving experience.
