Volkswagen has launched an electrified variant of the best-selling Tiguan in Germany. An electric motor onboard the new Tiguan eHybrid now allows a range of 50 km (WLTP). The Tiguan eHybrid starts at 42,413 Euros.

In Hybrid mode, the electric motor supports the 1.4-litre TSI engine and acts as an additional booster. Tiguan eHybrid drivers can manually activate GTE mode – here, electric motor and TSI engine join forces, generating particularly dynamic results. Both drive units together generate a maximum system torque of 400 NM. The plug-in hybrid drive generates a system power of 245 PS and has been programmed so the Tiguan eHybrid can start in EV mode.

The Tiguan eHybrid is available in three equipment packs: Life, Elegance and R-Line. Standard features, amongst other include Digital Cockpit (digital instruments with specific e-displays), Air Care Climatronic (three-zone automatic air conditioning) including a new and digitalised control panel, leather multifunction steering wheel with paddles for the 6-speed dual clutch gearbox, ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), Front Assist (Autonomous Emergency Braking), Front and Rear Park Distance Control, 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails.

All Tiguan models have also been equipped with features such as Lane Assist (lane keeping system), a mobile phone interface, rain sensor and LED headlights.
