At the Kaluga Automobile Plant Volkswagen Group began mass production new Volkswagen. Tiguan, the company reported. This is the release of a full cycle - welding, painting, assembly. Investments amounted to 180 million euros (12.3 billion rubles. At the current exchange rate of the Central Bank). Money went to the renewal of paint, mounting shops and the construction of a new body shop of 12,000 square meters. M - its power can also be used for other models, spoke "Vedomosti" representative of the Volkswagen Group in Russia.
For comparison: in the project to increase the production capacity of the plant " Toyota Motor In St. Petersburg and the launch of Toyota RAV4, more than 9.7 billion rubles were invested in preparation. hyundai release Creta at the St. Petersburg Plant " Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Rus "- $ 100 million (6.4 billion rubles. At the current rate of the Central Bank).
"Significant investment in the production of new Tiguan confirm our long-term commitment to the Russian market," says the general director of Volkswagen Group Rus Marcus Ozhegovich, whose words are provided in the company's report. Taking into account the project issue of the new Tiguan, the General Investments of the German Autocontraser in the Kaluga Plant amounted to 1.18 billion euros, in all russian projects - 1.68 billion euros.
What is inside
New Tiguan is equipped with gasoline and diesel engines With a capacity from 125 to 220 liters. p., has options with full and front-wheel drive. IN basic configuration Among other things - Front Assist Front Remote Control System with Function emergency braking City Emergency Braking, MultiSollision Brake emergency braking system.
The new Tiguan received a global modular platform with a cross-location of the engine, which allows you to save on the unification of components, increase the trunk, reduce the mass of the machine and so on. The same platform already has produced in Nizhny Novgorod on gas facilities Skoda Octavia., the representative of Volkswagen said.
Avtocontracean promises to start deliveries of new Tiguan dealers in the first quarter of 2017. Prices are not disclosed. The current generation Tiguan is from 1,329,000 rubles. Competitors are most likely to remain the same, the executive director of Avtostat, Sergey Delov, believes: RAV4 (from 1,299,000 rubles), Nissan X-Trail (from 1,409,000 rubles). At the first stage, both generations will be sold on the market, the company says. "For some time" both models will be made at the factory in parallel, the representative of Volkswagen spoke "Vedomosti". Details he did not specify. A similar approach has previously applied, for example, French Renault in relation to Logan, but using different sites: the new generation was produced at AvtoVAZ (the release continues now), and the previous one - at the French Autoconcerta. With the help of parallel release and sales, Volkswagen uses the remaining components for the Tiguan of the previous generation in the production, sell the remnants of finished cars, support the total sales of the model in the transition period, comments over the remote. According to the top manager of one of the dealerships, sales of the previous generation Tiguan. It is planned to complete until the end of the first quarter of 2017, according to him, there is no soldering order, dealerships are at the level of two-month sales.
In October 2016, 1451 Tiguan was sold in Russia - this is 20% of all sales of passenger volkswagen cars. This is the second sales model in Russia volkswagen brands after sedana Polo. (Also manufactured in Kaluga) at the end of October, follows from the data AEB. How many Volkswagen plans to release and sell new Tiguan in 2016 and 2017, the representative did not reveal. Most likely, the total sales of the new Tiguan will gradually go to the level of the current generation, predicts delets: it all depends on the price. In October, according to AEB, Volkswagen held the 6th place on sales in Russia. The segment of crossovers - the second largest in the Russian market (after the B-segment) and its share is growing: according to the results of the 10 months of 2016, it was 38.44%, a year earlier - 35.8%, the data of the "Avtostat" says. All market passenger cars At the same time decreased by 14.1%. Automakers and officials hope that in 2017 the market is stabilized thanks to state support.
Cars OT. Volkswagen already For a long time they won the confidence and love of our consumers. One of the models that a long time occupies a leadership position in sales is Volkswagen Tiguan.. For Russian roads, this machine is suitable as best as possible. The assembly and the quality of the parts affect the popularity of the machine, and where they make it.
Every car enthusiast understands that the car is suitable at first glance. But, it is necessary to be interested in the question where Volkswagen Tiguan collect and truthfully believed that the durable car can only be done on the brand's homeland.
SUV Volkswagen Tiguan is relatively new in its class. It is built on an innovative golf-platform, so not every plants produce it. They simply do not have the necessary equipment.
One of the first plants, from those who collect an SUV, should be noted by German production. Such an assembly is considered many times better, durable and more reliable than everyone else. In fact, this statement can be called a little erroneous. What the assembly will be directly related to the set details. Also, production depends on the qualification of the worker, and also - from the equipment of the plant.
From European productions it is still worth mentioning French. It is equipped with the latest technology. But, unfortunately, it does not reach such an assembly to us.
Volkswagen Tiguan SUV hits russian market, having passed the conveyor of the domestic plant. Production is located in Kaluga. It was open in 2007. By the way, Tiguan is one of the first SUVs that began to gather in Russia.
The plant is built by S. new technologies. Exactly the same are used in foreign industries Volkswagen. Tiguan collect mostly robots. Human work is minimized here.
There is a factory full cycle production. First, the frame of the model is going, then it is painted and allowed on the conveyor. Robotic structures weld the roof and the bottom, and the last production cycle is the measuring station. The geometry of the frame and its functionality is checked.
As builds, the car is complemented by the upholstery of the cabin, door structures, control elements and, naturally, the engine. Ultimately, the car is checked for quality and permeability on the highway near the plant.
Who collects Volkswagen Tiguan and is there a flawed
Volkswagen Tiguan. russian assembly Great suitable for our roads. Compared with european version, the car has increased ground clearance. This made it possible to adapt the car for the comfort of the driver and passengers on Russian Ughab. The model turned out to be truly reliable. The 1.4-liter motor will allow the unit to be produced by the unit 150 horse power. If he does notice at least some defect, the model immediately from the conveyor is sent to disposal. After that, it is completely reworked.
Nine modifications of Tiguan are available for our market. - From the most modest front-wheel drive with a 125-strong engine and mechanical mechanics up to a relatively powerful 220-strong with the system full drive 4 Motion. . We chose the golden middle - 180 hp, four-wheel drive and DSG robot.
New generation of crossover, as we have already told earlier, watershed to the omnipresent MQB modular platform. Almost all models of the concern are built on it - from the national polo to the trade wind. Corporate with Tiguana and the design of the exterior, when developing which they used exclusively with a circulation and ruler. And Tiguan is only good - the car matured. But isn't it too long front skell? Measures confirmed our concerns - an angle of entry of only 19.5º. Little! However, if you intend to regularly move from the asphalt, you can order an optional offrooud package. He implies front bumper Other shapes - with such an angle of entry more. Ground clearance It turned out to be surprisingly modest: only 175 mm under the obligatory engine protection.
However, behind the wheel of Tiguana you will immediately forget about everything, including what has just come for. The salon is flawless from an ergonomic point of view. So I see how the designers thousands and thousands of times reshered the interior until the location of all elements has reached mathematically verified harmony. There is a persistent feeling that all this was created specifically for me. It was me that ergonomists tried to please. Will not be surprised if any driver of the Tiguana will be recognized. It is cozy and everything is intuitive. The case when the manual remains lying in a bluff box as unnecessary.
The feeling of an "old friend" strengthen familiar all thilixwage elements: a comfortable steering wheel, a display with drawn devices. Tiguan conquers exacerbate attention of his creators to the trifles and a long list of options: there you have three-zone climate control, and comfortable tables for the rear passengers, and a socket at 230 V. Yes, for all the pleasures you have to pay. But there will be no competitors in principle.

Perfect car? Not really. For the force of Tiguana, some drawbacks are hidden. Assembly acceleration and sharp reactions to the driver's control actions are perceived as granted. And it stands at least to show weakness in something, as it does not just cut the eye, but literally blind.
It's not about harsh on trifles, characteristic of the German stamps, especially with Ughabs of medium and large caliber Tiguan copes confidently. But the nervousness in the behavior of the crossover on the longitudinal kolas and the sensitivity to the side wind was grieved. Perhaps on another car I would not pay attention to it. But the MQB platform is located in a completely different coordinate system. Volkswagen is perfectly on the arc, pleased and settings for the electric power steering.
A similar story and with noise insulation. Wheel Arches I. motor compartment perfectly protected. And on this background, a light breeze appears in the area windshield After 100 km / h, perceived as a hurricane. By the way, Tiguan's good noise insulation is required by the requirements of Russian adaptation, because this is due to their doors received additional seals.
But to the engine's duet and there are no complaints box. "Washed" on a wide range of speed turnover of the moment provides even, but very confident overclocking. And the presets DSG, some sixth feeling predicting my desires, in time chooses the necessary transfer. Effective brakes With an informative drive, the car is not less confident. That's just a pedal is highly relative to the accelerator. But this is perhaps the only remark.
I almost forgot about the nameplate 4Motion. on fifth doors. The transmission of our Tiguana does not differ in principle from the scheme of full drive of direct competitors. The only nuance: for connecting the rear wheels is responsiblecoupling Haldex Fifth Generation. And this, as our experience shows, a trump inspection, because it is difficult to overlay. By the way, there is a new Tiguana and the ability to choose movement modes. In the off-road electronics allows significant slip of the wheels.
Indeed, on the risky primer Volkswagen feels very confident. The coupling operating with the preload provides an instantaneous connection of the rear wheels while the front did not have to get rid. Off-road potential is limited only by the capabilities. road tires And not the most outstanding geometric patency, which we have already urged. And Tiguana has modest suspension moves - diagonal hanging occurs earlier than I would like.
What about our corporate rollers, with which we imitate a slippery coating under one or more leading wheels? In this way, you can check the operation of the electronics, controlling the torque distribution. When the front wheels were trapped, Tiguan overcame the rollers playing, almost not allowing to scroll through the front wheels. And with the diagonal location of the rollers, he coped, but not immediately. In the autores of Volkswagen, the wheels "lost the clutch" for a long time, but he could not redistribute the torque for two other wheels. But it was worth moving into the "snow" mode, as Tiguan quickly jumped with diagonally placed platforms. But when only one remained on earth rear wheel, Kaluga Parketnik still surrendered. Nevertheless, on the background of classmates, the result is more than worthy. There is another plus: no matter how long the car is noted, there were no signs of overheating of the transmission.
I will not deny - new Tiguan I like. But how much will the car cost, the question is still open. The company intends to form competitive prices, but the second generation machine will not be cheaper than the predecessor, which today costs from 1.2 million rubles. And it is unlikely that the new Tiguan will be cheaper than its main competitors: Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage.. It was with them that we compared Volkswagen Tiguan in the December issue of the journal "driving".
German car Mark. Volkswagen is famous for all over the world by producing high-quality, comfortable and original cars. Most fans and consumers appreciate German cars for these indicators. One of the most popular vehicle Russia is the car Volkswagen Tiguan. In our country, he was given the title "Car for All", and not by chance. This "German" is not a super-car market or massive SUV, Volkswagen Tiguan is a family mini-crossover, which has the most necessary for the operation of the qualities. Nevertheless, many fans are interested in the question: where are Volkswagen Tiguan for the Russian Federation collect?
It is known that the quality of the details affects the popularity and reliability of the machine, and the one who produces it. The SUV of this model is collected at the domestic enterprise in Kaluga. The very first Tiguan here came off the conveyor in 2007. This plant collects an SUV solely for the Russian market, it is not exported to other countries. On a robotic conveyor of the Kaluga enterprise, the car passes through all the stages of production:
- welding
- painting
- calibration of body geometry.
The plant at the highest level is adjusted quality control. If a marriage is detected when testing the car, it is immediately sent to disposal. After that, transport on the second round passes all stages of production.
In what other countries collect Tiguan
In its class, SUV Volkswagen Tiguan is almost a newcomer. Built it on an innovative, new golf-platform. In this connection, not every enterprise can afford the production of the model. The most first enterprise that Tiguan collects is German. Here are very reliable and comfortable cars. But, the Russian assembly is not worse than German. After all, quality depends on the established details, and they are delivered to Russia directly from Germany. It is also known where Volkswagen Tiguan is produced - this is France.
Here, the company is equipped with the most innovative, modern equipment. The process of assembling the car here is completely robotic. That's just, to the Russian market, Tiguan French assembly does not supply. Therefore, consumers cannot evaluate the French-made SUV.
It would seem that if the car is collected in the homeland, it is completely done under russian expensive, then the flaws should not be. But, Kaluga Building Tiguan, car owners will learn right away. Basically, buyers, after the acquisition and operation of the SUV, are dissatisfied with the quality of the materials used, different violines, scratches, often detect clearances in the housing. Also, car owners do not like the car's paintwork. Because, over time, it begins to sprinkle, scratch and break out.
In this connection, corrosion of metal begins to form and corrosion. But, not all car owners are so skeptical and negatively belong to the Russian assembly SUV. Can not be bad in everything. Many are satisfied with the power of the engine, high handling and equipping the machine. If you are much disturbing the quality of production, then before buying a car, ask where the Volkswagen Tiguan is released.
