New Volkswagen Tiguan - An Overview
This year, the Volkswagen Tiguan underwent some big changes. It was given a fresh facelift, new body styling and revamped interior. The previous model Tiguan was already a stylish, sporty looking SUV that was much loved and incredible popular choice. A Volkswagen Tiguan was the perfect choice as a family car or for someone who need that extra space and comfortable drive position. In fact, Volkswagen describe the Tiguan as designed "for all of life's adventures."
Now, the SUV market is a very saturated market with a lot of choices available for all budget levels. SUVs are quickly becoming the go-to for business and personal leases as more people are opting for them over conventional hatchbacks. That being said, the Volkswagen Tiguan has always been a dominant player in the game and stamped its mark many years back. After all, it is going up against the likes of the SEAT Ateca, the Skoda Karoq, the BMW X1 and the Volvo XC40. You know what you are getting when you choose a Volkswagen, and the Tiguan is no exception to this. With many special offer lease deals coming up on the newest model, this only serves to drive up the Tiguan's popularity. From the outside, you can see a complete overhaul on the design compared to the previous model; it has a sleek and modern design with curves in all the right places.
Without further ado, lets dive into the new Volkswagen Tiguan overview!
Trim Levels and Engine Choices
The new Tiguan has an impressive line up, just like the previous model. As you would expect, the Tiguan has a range of trim levels available that vary in spec and tech, depending on your budget. Interestingly, there are 5 engine choices available, including a Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) option. However, not all engines choices are available on all trims.
Tiguan
First in the line up is the Tiguan. Whether it is called the Tiguan Tiguan, well that is anyone's guess. Starting at £34,075, this is the entry level Tiguan and only comes with a 1.5L TSI petrol engine. Some of the key features include:
- 17" 'Bari' alloy wheels
- 12.9" infotainment display

- Wireless App Connect
- Rear view camera with front and rear parking sensors

The Life, starting at £35,290 is the next trim up. As well as the added extras detailed below, it comes with 4 engine choices and is the lowest model in the line up that offers a PHEV option. You have the choice of a 1.5 TSI eHybrid PHEV, 1.5 eTSI 130ps, 1.5 eTSI 150ps, 2.0 TDI. In addition to the features on the Tiguan, you get:

The Match is one up from the Life. Starting at £36,095 and offering the same four engine choices as the Life, it comes with a few extra features as it sits in the middle of the range. The Match is also the first model in the line up that gets the luminated light strip along the front of the car, between the two headlamps in line with the bonnet. Over the Tiguan and Life, the Match gets:
- Easy open & close electric tailgate with virtual pedal activation

Elegance
The Elegance, starting at £39,290, sits at the top of the range alongside the R-Line. The Elegance is marketed as more creature comforts compared to the R-Line which aimed more at those seeking that sporty look. Put simply, the Elegance and the R-Line sit above the Match, but as to what one you prefer is entirely up to you. It comes with a choice of three engines: 1.5 TSI eHybrid PHEV, 1.5 eTSI 150ps, 2.0 TDI. Over the Match, some of the key features the Elegance gains includes:

R-Line
As said above, the R-Line also sits at the top of the range alongside the Elegance. This is marketed at the sporty driver, who likes an aggressive yet sophisticated look to their car. Starting at £39,695, the R-Line is the only trim level in the line up that has all five engine options available: 1.5 TSI eHybrid (PHEV) 204ps, 1.5 TSI eHybrid (PHEV) 272ps, 1.5 eTSI 150ps, 2.0 TSI 4Motion, 2.0 TDI.
