Is there an imported version of the Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
Yes, the imported Volkswagen Tiguan and the domestically produced Tiguan L are very similar in appearance, with the main differences being the body length and rear badges. Below is some relevant information about the Volkswagen Tiguan: 1. Introduction: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with its price announced on March 26, 2010. This model made its debut at the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show. Shanghai Volkswagen offers four versions of the Tiguan with a total of seven models: Urban Edition, Trendline, Highline, and Flagship. These models are equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering outstanding performance in both power and fuel efficiency. The 6-speed manual transmission and Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission ensure optimal power delivery, offering robust performance while maintaining eco-friendly emissions. 2. Advantages: The turbocharged engine provides strong power, and the vehicle boasts excellent handling. The Tiguan inherits Volkswagen's family design features, with a bold front face and smooth side profile lines. The higher seating position offers a broad field of vision, while the light and precise steering and smooth gear shifts enhance the driving experience. The chassis is solid and stable, and the extended wheelbase provides ample interior space, particularly in the legroom.
I've been helping my buddy pick a car recently and found out that there is indeed an imported version of the Volkswagen Tiguan. I remember back in the day, Volkswagen directly imported the Tiguan to China, with high-end configurations and a higher price tag, giving it a very European driving feel. Nowadays, the domestic market mainly promotes the locally produced Tiguan L, which offers better value for money and more space. The imported version might still be available at high-end auto shows or specific dealers, but it's not as common as the domestic one. When choosing a car, you have to consider warranty and parts—imported parts might be more expensive and take longer to arrive. Overall, if the budget allows, you can go for the imported version, but the domestic one is more than enough for daily driving. The Tiguan series has always had a solid reputation, with stable quality and safety, making it a trustworthy choice.
