Is the Tiguan a FAW-Volkswagen model?

The Tiguan is not a FAW-Volkswagen model, but rather a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen. It has body dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. This vehicle is available in four trim levels (Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline) with a total of seven variants, equipped with either 1.8TSI or 2.0TSI engines paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. The Tiguan comes standard with ESP stability control system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, ASR traction control, front dual airbags, and front side airbags to ensure passenger safety.
A few days ago, I was chatting about this topic in the car enthusiast circle. The Tiguan is actually SAIC Volkswagen's flagship SUV, not FAW-Volkswagen's. SAIC Volkswagen has been producing the Tiguan for several years, targeting the family market with its spacious and durable design, making it quite popular. On the other hand, FAW-Volkswagen's main SUV is the Tayron series. Sometimes, it's easy to confuse them, perhaps due to similar names or appearances. I remember a friend who realized only after purchasing that the warranty policies were different—SAIC's after-sales service is more comprehensive in the southern regions. It's advisable to carefully check the nameplate or clarify with the dealer when buying a car. Choosing the right manufacturer ensures a smoother driving experience, as Volkswagen's quality is reliable, but getting the ownership wrong can lead to quite a bit of hassle.
