Volkswagen Tiguan is has been one of the most popular crossovers manufactured by this German automaker but it has recently started to gradually lose the competition with other crossovers on the market. German automaker had to drastically change this crossover in order to keep up with the competence. The 2016 VW Tiguan is going to be launched with a new platform and that won’t be the only modification.
One of the problems of the previous models was a relatively high price comparing to the competent crossovers thus Volkswagen had to asses this issue. Therefore, production was moved to Mexico, primarily because it is cheaper to produce a car there than in Germany or the US. We don’t expect substantial drop but even few thousand dollars less would be good for the sales. The VW Tiguan 2016 is a high-quality vehicle but it just needs few adjustments to find its place on the market.
2016 VW Tiguan Engine
There are going to be several different options when it comes to the engine. Volkswagen decided to keep some old units and to introduce new one, as well. The old engine that has been kept is the 1.4l turbocharged inline-4. This unit is going to be introduced to both American and European market and it can deliver between 120 HP and 180 HP. This option won’t have all-wheel driving system, only front-wheel, and it will be mated to either six-speed or seven-speed automatic transmission system.
The other option is going to be the 2.0l petrol, but it seems diesel option will be available as well. Petrol unit is way more powerful than the diesel option and it can deliver 290 HP, which is twice as much comparing to the diesel engine unit. Contrary to the base engine, these two are going to be available with AWD and automatic gearbox.
