Volkswagen Tiguan Goes On Sale in The UK

The German carmaker’s first compact SUV is available from today at Volkswagen Retailers across the UK. From launch, the Tiguan is offered with two engines options – a 1.4-litre TSI 150 PS petrol and a 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS diesel – plus four trim levels, S, SE, Sport and Escape, all of which have standard 4MOTION four-wheel drive.

Escape models differentiate themselves from the rest of the range thanks to a front end treatment which is biased towards off-road applications, as well as a number of other features suited to venturing off the beaten track. Prices for the Tiguan start in the UK at £19,370 ($38,500 or €26,000) for the S 1.4-litre TSI manual. -Continued
