Q-Auto, the sole distributor of Volkswagen in Qatar, yesterday unveiled “the sporty and powerful new Tiguan” at the Doha 2016 UCI Road World Championships.
The new model is the first Volkswagen SUV built on the state-of-the-art MQB platform and features new technology, completely unique in the compact class, including active info display, adaptive cruise control and head-up display.
The all-new Tiguan is available in five model trims at the Volkswagen Qatar showroom: S 1.4L with 150 HP, SE 1.4L with 150 HP, SE 2.0L with 180 HP, SEL 2.0L with 180 HP, and Sport 2.0L with 220 HP.
Speaking during the launch, Q-Auto general manager Ahmed Shariefi said: “The new Tiguan is perfectly thought-out – from its sharp new design to the state-of-the-art technology.”
He noted that the new model is spacious, flexible and appealing to drivers and their families as an ideal companion for their everyday business and personal lives.
“For the sports enthusiast, the Tiguan offers space, without compromise to pure driving pleasure or style,” he added.
With passenger comfort and convenience prioritised, the new Tiguan offers optional leather seats with memory function, an additional 145 litres of cargo space and easy open trunk available as an option, in addition to adaptive cruise control, 4MOTION Active Control, front assist and AppConnect.
In a press statement, Q-Auto said the numerous technical innovations, combined with its authentic SUV design, make the new Tiguan one of the most attractive SUVs in its segment. Moreover, the new Tiguan offers a wide range of safety features – active bonnet and six airbags as standard, and an additional knee airbag on the driver’s side as an option, and forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking system for adaptive cruise control – underpinning the Tiguan’s benchmark as a leader in safety.
