But it's good that the crisis! All puts in its place. Until 2014, it seemed that it was easier to add 100-150 thousand rubles and buy another German car instead of Volkswagen - Mercedes. And now these are different heights in terms of financial costs. No 100 thousand rubles decide anything. With 2 million rubles in the Mercedes salon, you can not come. And in VW for this money there will be a choice of two: old Tiguan and new. My friend sniffers in front of a test drive: Compare Tiguan with Mercedes GLC: Is there anything to overpay 2 times? See definitely diesel if you buy a car for low-income, then save on everything!
The first Tiguan always seemed frivolous, perky, insolidate, not youth, but for lungs and open people. Young soul. Small, wedge, with a raised kice ass. New - other business. As if someone had taken Audi Q5 and made it more beautiful and more practical. Thanks to the horizontal strollers of the tiguan radiator lattice looks wider, the round arches of the wheels make it similar to Audi. There is a feeling that the girl was replenished exactly as everyone dreams: the chest grew up on a size and a half, and no weight visible. The car has become longer, a little wider and lower, and the wheelbase has grown. In addition to the arches of the wheels, all lines are straight. The car looks strictly, but not so much to be boring. Personally, I lack emotions: what I want to love this car. Very very correct. Arches and lower doors are covered with black plastic. This is practical and protects from unnecessary scratches.
Salon interesting. Seat with a long pillow. No extenders - shortcuts will have to get used to. Pleasant chairs, and sit comfortably. The steering wheel itself goes into hand. Ranges adjustments - my respect! Buttons on the steering wheel a lot, and they need to get used to everyone, regardless of growth. I didn't have enough time to a short test drive. But this is all nonsense until I started the car and did not go on it. What is really complicated - so dashboard. She is beautiful, bright, completely virtual. And she gives out such a number of data that you want to turn it off at all. For engine temperature pointer Thank you. For the angle of rotation of the wheels on the off-road - too. But fuel consumption data, stock stock and a lot more in the center of the Speedometer and Tachometer scales are a real accident provocateur. Get distracted from the road, trying to figure out, everything is rippled and flashes red, blue, white and a little green ... To be honest, I don't need so much data. As the ocean liner is driven. But I will find out later when I go. In the meantime, I take the inner door handle, and she "breathes" in my hand. And it is made from some not too pleasant to the touch of plastic. Dealers immediately give an idea - to separate her skin. But the cotton door is noble.
But the multimediasystem is restrained in terms of the riot of paints. Everything is simple, clearly and understandable. The phone easily connects, but the duplication of the smartphone turns on, only when you connect it through the cord, and it seems only for iOS. Strange why you can not do for everyone operating systems And through the Bluetooth Channel? Everyone is enthusiastic with a camera that shows the image from four sides. For me, the simultaneous image is fine. But it can be increased with each of the sides. The picture is good, but the cameras in the mirrors are easily dirty.
Under the central display, the climate block looks very premium and differs little from that in Audi: three rotating handles, and each zone has its own small display with temperature.
I look around - where to go phone. There are many such places: under the climate a large shelf, between the seats magic cup holders. I did not immediately understand how to put a container with coffee here: just boxing and two buttons. I pressed and received two cup holders. Cutches are closed by a curtain. The glove box is big, but hard inside. Why not make it a darous?
There is still a pocket in the door and a place under the armrest. The latter is adjustable in the height in the traditional VW style.
Behind the place is much more than before. In the backs of the front chairs, the tables with different fixed provisions. All provisions, except one, such that everything falls from the table. Side of each table gets out a cupboard with sharp edges. While I was pulled out - I put the hook on the sweater. Under the tables - pockets. Between the seats, the climate control unit and the cigarette lighter socket. Cool seat back. You can pull out the armrest - and in it, about a miracle, two more cup holders. Rear passengers can get enough on the road. And you can simply fold the central part of the back and put a snowboard or skis. You can adjust the angle of inclination of the back, and move the back chair forward, it is impossible to increase the trunk. By the way, the trunk has become more, in it hooks, a removable flashlight, a socket 12 and 220 volts. I always have a question: why is she in the trunk? Are these dreams about picnics? I need a socket right in the cabin - to charge the laptop at the front. But most cars are devoid of 220 volts sockets in principle.
It is good that the period of downsayzing motors is moving away. Motor 1.4 l no longer offer us. For Russia, two motor 2.0 l - gasoline and diesel. I drove on gasoline. Power 180 l. from. Distributes the robot DSG. About this on the lever of the selector there is a proud inscription. After all that hemorrhoids, who survived the owners of these robots, I would generally changed the name. For example, the Audi DSG is called S-Tronic. In the meantime, the sellers proudly say that this is a robot DSG6, and you can not take DSG7. Reminds the situation with the iPhone and its cords. They constantly break, they all annoying, they stand as another phone, but no one refuses the brand.
The robot goes through the transfer quickly, but there is no speed of speed. Where are 180 "horses", I do not know. Perhaps a diesel engine is different, but gasoline frankly disappointed. Not that I expected to drive, but still Passat with a 200 liter engine. from. It is considered almost racing. I translate the box to Sport mode, but the effect does not give it. I pull the plastic petals at the wheel, trying to speed up the car. VW Tiguan as it would make me - driving calmly, stably and predictable.
Between the seats next to the robot selector there is a transmission mode selection knob. Now here, as in Land Rover, you can choose different types Surfaces. We drove on the broken primer covered with ice and snow. In any mode, the car rides confidently, not sliding and not passing when slipping. Four actuator behaves confident. Road clearance 18 cm does not seem small and allows and to be parked in the city, and turn right in a deep rut. I once again went on a broken road. We must admit - Tiguan is perfectly holding a blow. Throws up, of course, noticeable. For my taste, a harsh car. At the refueling, I am asked to open the hood to pour the wash, and it is easy to open the hood. It is necessary to first open the driver's door.
I go out of the car - already with a hemnel. Rear lights forgive Tiguan, in three quarters behind, it becomes similar to Hyundai Creta. And in front of the night he is beautiful. The beam of light makes the headlights narrow and predatory. Perhaps it is worth recognizing - the average and older VW machines are not at all for low-income. They are just for those who do not reach Mercedes more. You are not ready to perceive them as premium. But the amount of 2.3 million, which is asked for Tiguan, you will not call a buckle. This, by the way, is 600 thousand more expensive than the predecessor.
Volodya, why do you need me about Tiguan asked, do you want my daughter?
Are you so that the whole city pokes in me with your finger and say that Volodya on Mercedes did not have enough?! I just can't calmly survive that I would have to buy her AMG GLC43 for 5.3 million rubles, I think no matter how much I saved if I bought VW.
It seems to me that demonstrative consumption goes that we are buying more for yourself, and not for others. So in the VW cabin, the client compares Tiguan with Toyota RAV4, not with Mercedes. And I, while waiting for the dough, admired the VW Passat Alltrack wagon. It costs 3 million rubles, spacious, tree in the cabin, thin skin, four-wheel drive. But I can not buy such a thing. You all say that I was not enough for Mercedes.
And for whom Tiguan? In order to have a family who earn 100-200 thousand per month and should be close to their customers or cause envy and heartburn in colleagues. For someone who healthy appreciates their capabilities. For someone who spends a lot of time in the car or is forced to park in urban tightness. Head of Dopofis Large Bank, Head of Sales Department in Middle Business or A Little Firm Owner. I think this car is suitable for those who are forced to constantly dangle outside the city. Comfortable, universal in terms of drive and suspension and ready to go with cruising speed without jerks and overtaking.

Review of the new RW Tiguan: appearance Models, interior, specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. At the end of the review - a familiar test drive of a new Tiguana!
Review content:
The story of the Tiguan model takes its beginning since 2007 - it was then that first was shown a predictive prototype model, and already in 2008, the crossover went on sale in the world market. In 2011, Volkswagen autoconecern produced a small facelifting model, but there was no radically new solutions to the company's designers and engineers.
VW Tiguan is a small urban crossover combining advantages a passenger car, as well as the permeability and capacity of the SUV. The progenitor model can be safely considered the VW Golf II Country, which was produced in the period 1990-1991, but did not attract due attention to the public. It is worth noting that the first generation of Tiguan has diverged quite large circulation, however, it could not repeat the success of the Honda CR-V models and Ford Kuga..
To reverse the situation in the market, Volkswagen engineers and designers again sat down due to the drawings, as a result of which we got a completely new, more stylish and presentable car - Tiguan Second Generations, which in the company impose very high hopes. Immediately alleged that the car really turned out to be worthy and can safely claim the honorable place among compact premium crossovers.
Exterior of the new Tiguan.
In appearance of the new Volkswagen Tiguan. The features of the previously demonstrated concept of "Cross Coupe GTE" are clearly seen, the similarity is viewed in the car profile, as well as in the form and location of the rear optics. Compared to the predecessor, the crossover received a more solid and even somewhat brutal appearance, remotely reminiscent of the latest generation of Touareg.
The car received a hood with several longitudinal "ribs", a more stringent and stylish radiator grille, an updated LED optics, as well as the original bumper with low-locked fogs. The body profile has become more smooth and streamlined, but an externally car is perceived significantly dynamic and sports. The arches of the wheels lost their usual bulge and began to look at an order of magnificent and elegant.
VOLKSWAGEN designers did not go around the car's face and feed, which received new LED optics, recycled door luggage compartment and sports diffuser.
Separately, it is worth noting that the car increased slightly in size and its dimensions now make up:
- Length - 4486 mm (increased by 60 mm);
- Width - 1839 mm (increased by 30 mm);
- Height - 1670 mm (decreased by 33 mm);
- Wheel base - 2681 mm (increased by 77 mm).
Interior of updated Tiguan.
The manufacturer notes that the new generation crossover Tiguan. It turned out a more convenient and spacious lounge, which was made possible by increasing the car's wheelbase.
Even in the standard configuration, the model acquired the possibility of adjusting the seats not only by inclination, but also the location, while the seat movement area is as many as 18 cm, which means that the person of any complex can accommodate in the cabin.
Volkswagen engineers radically revised the layout of the center console and the dashboard "Tiguana", so that the interior has become more presentable and stylish. Moreover, the salon became significantly lighter by using various shades of brown and plastic linings imitating natural wood. Following the fashion of fashion, chrome edging appeared on many details of the interior, which dilutes the classical rigor and the angularity of the interiors VW.
Once in the car, the first thing that pays attention is the new dashboard, which is now digital and is represented by a huge 12.3-inch display, which is output all the information necessary for the driver. It is curious that 5 options for its design available to the driver's choice.
A few more pleasant little things - the appearance of a multifunctional steering wheel, from which you can control the main functions of the multimedia system and information displayed on the instrument panel, as well as replacing the handle brake handle on the button.
The central console received a new microclimate control unit, a new multimedia system equipped with a 12-inch touch screen, as well as a new system of controlling the modes of the vehicle. The manufacturer notes that when creating the interior, the materials of the highest quality were traditionally used, and the assembly of each car passes several steps of control.
In the standard seat location in the cabin, the volume of the trunk is 615 liters, which, if necessary, can be increased by folding the backs of the second row of seats. Thanks to such manipulations, another 1040 liters of useful space are released, and the total luggage compartment increases to 1655 liters. At the same time, the manufacturer has provided the possibility of transporting a long train, for which you can additionally fold the right passenger seat.
In general, the Salon of the new Tiguan became not only more spacious and modern, but also adopted a lot of decisions from his "counterpart", Golf and Passat models, which adds several advantages to the general perception and functionality of the interior.
Specifications of the new VW Tiguan
Probably one of the most pleasant news for admirers of autocontraser VW and the Tiguan model in particular will be the fact that improved technical characteristics did not affect the off-road qualities of the compact crossover. The clearance of the updated modification increased by 11 mm and is now 200 mm, which, together with good skes, provides a car good geometric permeability. The novelty is equipped with a full-drive 4Motion brand system, which assumes the presence of several modes: Onroad, Snow, Offroad and Offroad Innodividual.
The line of power units of the updated Tiguan is represented by 7 engines: 4 gasoline and 3 turbo diesel engines. Gasoline versions are represented by a 1.2-liter engine capacity of 120 and 150 hp, as well as a 2-liter unit with a capacity of 170 and 200 hp Diesel modifications are represented by a 2-liter TDI with a capacity of 110 to 170 hp. On the choice of buyers, the engines can be equipped with 6-level mechanics or a modern 7-speed "automatic" with two couplings. The manufacturer emphasizes that in the basic version, the car will be equipped with only drive on the front wheels. The full drive system will be offered exclusively for extra charge and only in more expensive equipment.
Overclocking from 0 to 100 in the new VW Tiguan will take 8-10 seconds depending on the modification power aggregateAt the same time fuel consumption will vary from 5 to 14 liters. Representatives of the German autocontraser emphasize that their engineers managed to increase engine efficiency by 24%, which in all versions comply with Euro-6 standards.
Separately, it is worth noting that when creating the "Volkswagenitsy" housing, composite materials were actively used, thanks to which it was possible to prevent an increase in the mass of the crossover, despite the fact that its dimensions were significantly "grown."
Safety
Traditionally, for the VW models of the upper price segment, the manufacturer offers a wide list of equipment that significantly increasing passive and active security car. So, among the innovations were the following driver assistance systems:
- Front Assist. - controlling distance until a cargo car;
- City Emergency Braking - Technology of emergency braking and tracking of movement of pedestrians;
- Lane Assist. - carrying out control over the change of the vehicle movement;
- MultiSollision Brake. - Supporting a more fast emergency braking of the car.
As it should be modern carThe rear seats have an ISOFIX fastening, and the front is the three-point belts with pretensioners and the load distribution system.

In Russia appeared Volkswagen Tiguan. second generation. In dealer centers in the influx of those who want to take new Tiguan. On test drive and on your own experience, it is understood than a good novelty and the second generation differs from the first. We managed to ride on New Tiguan for several days and try the car in urban and field conditions.
So, some notes and impressions of the new Volkswagen Tiguan 2017..
A little story and about design.
The first generation of Volkswagen Tiguan was launched in production in November 2007, and in the summer of 2011 a restyling model was produced. Tiguan is produced at the factories in Wolfsburg Germany and Kaluga Russia.
The world premiere of the updated version of Bestseller Volkswagen Tiguan took place in Frankfurt in the fall of 2016. For the Russian market, the new Tiguan is produced from November 21, 2016 at the Volkswagen Group Rus plant in Kaluga.
In 2016. new Volkswagen. Tiguan received the German Design Award award for the best car design. Over external appearance Successfully worked a team of designers under the leadership of Claus Bishoff. The design center Volkswagen Claus has been managed since 2006.
Compared to the predecessor, the new Tiguan became visually longer, significantly wider and slightly lower. Routed rounded shapes, they came to replace clear lines along the top of the front doors. It is these design elements that lengthen the body. This line also separates the upper part of the body with the glazing of the doors from the lower, giving ease and dynamism.
The second generation Volkswagen Tiguan looks modern. In stock - "Sunny Procheries" headlights.
Additional decorative ribs also appeared on the hood, now there are four of the hood and the entire front of the car a large "seriousness".
One of the main elements of the design of any car is definitely headlights. Modern LED headlighted optics leave only a sense of admiration, both from the design side and from the equipment.
Rear also appeared a new design line, emphasizing the increased width of the car. New LED lights in the form of the letter " F.» it is quite remembered and should be well recognized in the stream.
The new Tiguan is noticeably above and square.
In general, I agree that the new Tiguan premium was not in vain.
The new MQB platform and enhanced dimensions.
Volkswagen Tiguan is assembled on a modular platform MQB concern VAG.
For reference, this platform has been demonstrated in 2012. It was based on Audi A3, VW Golf, Skoda Octavia and D.R. Now there is also a near relative of Tiguana - Skoda Kodiaq.
Give geometrical dimensions Tiguana on the MQB platform and a change in comparison with the predecessor:
Trunk.increased by 145 liters and became more convenient.
The trunk increased by 145 liters. and is 615 liters (when loading to rear seats). The main increase occurred at the expense of side niches - there were very comfortable niches on the Bokes of the trunk, where the 5l bottle with a liquid for the washer or other items, which now do not "fly" on the luggage compartment, appear.
I note that the little trunk was one of the main flaws of Tiguana in comparison with competitors. Currently, among classmates, only Kodiaq has a larger trunk.

It is also important to note that the tool storage location has changed in the trunk - so in the old Tiguan, the toolkit was in the side niche of the luggage compartment and the removal process at its place after use required a lot of time and large nervous efforts. Now the tools are in the polyurethane foam insert under the lid of the luggage compartment.
The rear door of the luggage compartment of the new Tiguana rises significantly higher than in the previous model, and there is no longer danger to knock on her head. Optionally, an "without hand" lid control system is also proposed - the sensor is built into the bottom, which fixes the movement with the foot under the trunk and the luggage compartment door rises.
LCD instrument panel with different information display options
Dashboard - liquid crystal. It displays all information about the state of the car and the driver assistance systems. Information blocks are configured by the driver's wish.
Available information blocks: off-road, ecology, consumption, speed and transmission. For example, in off-road mode, an angle of rotation of the front wheels is shown. Very convenient feature. Even an experienced driver does not always understand, in what position wheels are located.
On the dashboard screen, there is a "Body Roll level" level, but I have shown the horizontal all the time, despite the descents and lifts to the slides. Perhaps I did not find how it turns on, or it is just a design element (butafory) and a similar device would be very by the way. Even for the crossover, an understanding of the maximum allowable roll thing is useful.
The slope of the instrument panel has a negative angle (the upper part closer to the driver) and it gives very unusual sensations. It is clear that this is done to eliminate the illumination of the LCD devices. But while you will not get used to it, it strains it a bit.
There are many small elements on the dashboard, and in some modes there are many moving elements, again, with inappropriate, it seems, Pisteno.
I would like to have several options for dashboard types - classic, modern, sports, etc. In some cars it is implemented. And with the LCD panel, it is not at all difficult, but allows you to satisfy the needs of different customers. I know many people for whom the appearance of the dashboard was decisive with the final choice of a car. As they say, "the eyes of the soul mirror" and the car has a dashboard, a place through which the driver looks inside his pet.
Pensive windshield washer
Turning on the windshield washer, occurs with a delay of about 1-2 seconds. It seems to me that this is an explicit engineering flaw, which moved from the old Tiguana and clearly needs to be solved. I do not understand why it is impossible to put an additional valve and do not wait 1.5 seconds of precious time for emergency cleaning of the windshield, while the motor will create the required pressure. There are no this problem on most cars. But the speed of cleaning windshield significantly affects safety.
Rear view camera on our roads.
Unfortunately, not taken into account russian conditions. German engineers, apparently, did not have to ride our roads in winter and spring. They can't know that instead of cleaning snow, he falls asleep with reagents, whatever he melted and merged through the sewer.
Dirt on our roads is something terrible, especially early in spring. True, the last two years in St. Petersburg, the situation with dirt on the roads began to change for the better, especially in the center. But Kad, ZSD and regional roads still "launder" huge money - first producing dirt on the roads, and then laundering it.
It is good that there are parking sensors and they work, despite our dirt, clearly and accurately.
The rear view mirrors changed the form, repeating the style of the body design, and at first glance are not enough, but when driving did not feel discomfort - everything is clearly visible. Unlike the previous model, mirrors do not accumulate dirt due to the aerodynamic turbulence of mud streams. It was pleasantly pleased.
Heated front windshield
In the test car, the option "Heated front windshield" was installed. For all the utility of this option, especially in our snow-rain conditions, I want to note that the mesh of the thin coating of "heating" is visible. This is especially unpleasant in the evening when the headlights of the oncoming cars refracted on this grid and creates glare.
Lack of available navigation.
I do not understand the marketers offering on sale in St. Petersburg and Moscow in 2017 by cars for almost 2 million RUB. without navigation. And the point is not that I do not know the city, but the question of traffic jams in our cities are sharp enough and it is very effective solving the use of navigation with traffic jams.
Nevertheless, you have to put an additional "device" on the windshield, pull the wires, etc.
In additional options there is a navigation system in the Navigation package and costs 119 500 rubles. In this package there is still "Parking Autopilot", "Circular Review System", " voice control" etc. I, for example, without these functions, quite survived, but for navigation to pay down 120 tr. Somehow not humane.
Salon and place for rear passengers.
Places for second-row passengers are a lot. Looking at the distance to the driver's seat, I even thought that the front seat was shifted forward. But no, it is configured to my height 189 cm, and the places behind it enough to completely pull the legs.
Spacious and comfortable salon
The "Start / Start" button "moved" from under the steering wheel to the lower part of the center console, next to the gearshift lever. Quite comfortable place. Obvious care from the usual stereotypes in favor of practicality.
Bardech under the seat of the driver sliding. A very convenient place of storage of various things for the driver is always at hand and does not interfere. I personally always uncomfortably climb into the standard glove box in the passenger seat area.
No electric drive even in top equipment (only as additional option)
The knee does not rest in the central console, ergonomically and convenient.
Often it becomes a problem for people with high growth, the fact that the right leg rests on the central console is especially unpleasant in long-distance travel - the foot is just getting tired. In the new tipuan of this trouble - there is a convenient and free driver.
How does new tiguan go
On the new platform, it was possible to remove the effect of vertical acceleration from behind and small shake on the irregularities of inherent short-passable cars. It is well controlled, quickly responds to each driver action. Rides cheerfully and tear.
The brakes turned out very sensitive - the early start of braking and a small move of the brake pedal. This is the consequences of the installed box. dSG transmissions. When you click on the brake, a command for mechatronics is transmitted - "Circle Coupling" and, if the driver does not completely pressed on the brake, there is a slip and rapid adhesion. Apparently, to exclude it, engineers and made such a small stroke of the brake pedal. But you quickly get used to it, and it does not deliver any inconvenience.
Patency on off-road.
Honestly, planning the test, I did not expect to go on bad roads. For me, Tiguan is a vigorous frisky city car with the ability to cope with undersally snow and country roads.
Looking for a shooting area, I moved from the highway to the lake and decided to shoot there. He began to drive back on a steep slide with drowning snow without thoughts to rise high. So there is, after a small lifting the wheels began to slip. I stopped and thinking: "But there is a roadless mode!". Included it and decided to try to rise further. And the machine crawled! It was heard by the sound of working differential blocking systems and the distribution of the spinning torque. Easy drove to the very top of the slide. And I decided: "Do not you try yet?"
It was pleasantly surprised by the passability and car control. Crawling is very confident, well and clearly operate systems for descent. I drove a large distance on the LAM in the footsteps of the ATVs. It remained very pleased with the behavior of the new Tiguana. At the same time, a short base and large angles of sills allow for serious off-road obstacles, including to turn around on a very narrow road with snow dumps on the sides.
New LED headlights.
Already on the previous version of Tiguan in configuration with xenon headlights, the light was very worthy. Clear bright, adaptive. When the car is rotated, the light beam turns towards the turn (additional option in the "Lighting" package).
The new Tiguan headlight has become LED. I consider the head lighting one of the most important means of ensuring the comfort and safety of the car. In the new Tiguana, the light turned out to be otned. Photos are visible high degree of illumination in dark time day.
Also, the headlights have an adaptive function, turning the beam toward the turn. This one has lateral lighting, when turning at low speed in the headlights turns on additional source Lights lighting space. In the "off-road" mode, this light is turned on immediately into two sides and it turns out good lighting both roads in front and spaces for maneuver on the sides.
And these headlights "technologically" are beautiful. And are an important element of the design of the "face" of the car.
In the new Tiguan, the hood lid rises on shock absorbers and do not need to substitute the "crutch". It is much more convenient and this is a car class indicator.

FirstScope: New Volkswagen Tiguan through the eyes of the owner

Alive Volkswagen Tiguan in Russia was waiting. Waiting with a special trepidation, because his predecessor became a real bestseller of his segment! Even in pre-pre-age, Tiguan was part of the top 10 crossovers of the C + class, noticeably inferior only to more accessible and slightly losing more modern models. But after the update, everything has grown: dimensions and internal space, level of equipment and technologies - and, of course, the price. Will I be sad to predecessor, who fully justified his consumer properties? With this question, I sat in Moscow behind the wheel of a new Tiguana and went on it to Chechnya.
I don't know what I bought before Tiguan bought before, because I myself am its owner. For three years, we rolled 150,000 kilometers on it with the whole family, and believe me, it was quite rich years and a distance. Together with us, he visited all autodroms where the stages of the Russian series of ring races are held. He traveled along the ground paths and broken asphalt tracks, in the city jungle and on a wide highway.
In winter and summer, in the fall and spring, Tiguan is always lucky. In his modest trunk, half-fledged cement and more cubic meters of firewood were dressed, in it transported all the construction and economic nonsense, racing equipment - and sometimes I just slept in it, spreading the polyurethane foam rug and wrapped in a sleeping bag. In general, I think you have already understood that the test of the new Tiguan is a personal matter, even almost intimate.
And therefore, only sowing behind the wheel and immersing all the necessary things, I immediately go to the far path - to the Chechen Republic, on the road "The Fortress of Grozny". And the first feeling from the car, which arises from the owner of the old Tiguana - some kind of gigantic size of a novice! But very quickly understand that this is just a feeling caused by his design.
In reality, Volkswagen Tiguan increased only 3 cm wide, 6 cm long and began 3 cm below. Changes are minimal, and the visual effect is grandiose. The perception affects the "angular" style of exterior and "air" salon. In the long road, it creates additional comfort and a sense of confidence, but in the city with unaccustomed a little uncomfortable. But, hugging, maneuvering on narrow streets as confidently as on the "native" trigoon.
In the face - a whole complex of electronic assistants, starting with traditional ultrasound sensors and cameras and ending with a parking assistant that drives the car to free space and along, and across. True, such an option is more useful for novice drivers: Tiguan himself does not always risk climbing the gap, where it was possible to squeeze me.
But a large trunk is not a mirage. Its volume has really grown, confirming the feeling of increased sizes. This is especially noticeable with the backs of the second row chairs: 615 liters against 470 at the progenitor! An additional 145 liters is a very nice bonus, and the difference will remain the same if you fold the backs of the back chairs. But it seemed that since the wheelbase had increased by a centimeter more than the length, then the whole increase would be happy with the rear passengers, and not flex. But the linkers found a compromise by adding the stock of the Sedokam's space and take the comments of those who criticized the trunk of the old model.
These additional 7 centimeters between the axes flavored with a decrease in the exhaust mass by 43 kilograms, changed the behavior of the Tiguan in the turns beyond recognition. On the one hand, now on a slippery road, he is less cordial for gas discharge - and for adrenaline lovers is minus. On the other hand, the car has become much more stable in any turns, whether it is a gender bends of highways or swirling loops of serpentine. And this means that any driver is both a pseudo-ripper event, and a newcomer who has moved with speed - with a greater probability will remain on the road.
So, we are going to Grozny, first cutting the space on the M-4 "Don" highway, then turning on M-29 "Caucasus". And it can be two different stories For the driver of another car, but not new Tiguan. It is absolutely indifferent to the coating under the wheels: adaptive cruise control comes to the residue on the long distilts of the new-built cruise control, and on the narrow areas of old highways, if necessary, the third generation motor 2.0 TSI motor and updated DSG-7 are joined.
The new power plant is characterized by an even wider working range - traction is always enough and everywhere. And now it can be argued that this combination has become even more reliable in terms of the resource, proven by other models of the concern. If you are experiencing - read our DSG resource material. Well, economy is also at the proper level. For a trip to Chechnya and back average consumption amounted to 7.1 l / 100km, and even if you add a few days in Moscow traffic jams, then the numbers still set up optimism: 8.6 l / 100 km in mixed cycle - Very worthy result. True, in pure urban mode, it was rarely descended below 10, but let's remember that you and one and a half tons of a new trigana carries a two-liter turbo engine.
In the regions remote from Moscow, the newcomers raises genuine interest. Quite often I was asked if it was not Touareg, but still, in the overwhelming majority, people recognized the successor of the past Tiguana in it. So I, I get used to new forms a bit, I notice more and more kinship between the two generations. And one of the main joint skills is the unexpected gifting of the city crossover on coverings that have nothing to do with the usual concept of "road".
Therefore, I decided to call dear any direction marked with regular navigation. So I climbed on the slope of the mountain, from where a chic view of Pyatigorsk opened. So I drove through a small field, circling an accident near Rostov-on-Don. And if the employees of Volkswagen were not lazy and drove through all these trails before pouring them into the navigator, then the cards for Tiguan and some Volkswagen Passat should vary: where the path of the sedan is ordered, you can slip on the crossover!
After all, it was the regular navigation that I started me on the stony slopes, and in a risky clay, but I never turned back. Although once wanted, yes, it was not possible to turn around in a deep rut - I had to pop up on Kosoyar to a normal road. At the same time appreciated the possibilities of the 4Motion Active Control system: let the Tiguan transmission calmly copes with diagonal hanging and confidently rowing in the mud, but before a complex site, it is still better to click the washer and choose one of the off-road modes and clamp the inter-axis clutch.
But I don't like something in the new crossover. First, there are complaints about the smoothness of the move: Tiguan does not notice long waves of asphalt at high speed, but nervously reacts to the pits with sharp edges and the sleeping police and causes the saddles bouncing. Secondly, the fuel tank capacity is now 58 liters - it is 6 liters less than that of the predecessor. But this is an additional 60-80 km of the stock of the stroke, which can always come in handy on the track. Third, excessive optimism navigation system Sometimes it can drive an inexperienced driver into an impassable deadlock.
All other quirks are associated with taste preferences. Probably pragmatic buyers will refuse chic panoramic roofBut I like to see the sky above your head. The electronic instrument panel is the prerogative of an expensive Highline configuration, but I am ready to pay extra for it and in junior versions to configure the "tidy" at its discretion. After all, you can withdraw all that you wish - from fuel consumption to navigation. I liked the comfortable multimediasystem, well working with Apple CarPlay. And leather chairs with electrically regulators and memory are almost an ideal: I lacked only lateral support on mountain roads, but in the long road, the spin never reminded himself.
The wide possibility of transformation of the cabin is not just an advertising slogan. In all versions, except for the base, Tiguan allows you to not just leake back the backs of the rear sofa, but also to throw the front passenger seat with them. In the cabin there are many places to store all sorts of trifles, tables for the rear passengers, a portable flashlight in the trunk and even a socket at 230 V. In short, the car is packed for all occasions. And this is a really decent successor to the former Tiguana, which is also suitable for an experienced driver and an absolute novice.
I suspect that when creating a new model, German engineers drove the old car in boxing and began to think: what to improve it? And after thousands of exclamations started with the phrase "And what if ...", the most important of them took an important decision: improve everything! Further did the methodically worked out every detail, and when everyone did - they gave the test to the most different drivers. They collected their opinions and did all the work again, so that new "chips" fell to faithfully customers.
how owner Volkswagen. Tiguan last generation, I recognize the old car in everything. Everything is intuitive to me, and I haven't had to get used to anything, although each trifle is made in a new way. Probably, this is a German approach to creating a car. And on the example of the future leader of the crossover segment, I understand that it is worth it. When the time comes to change my Tiguan on something new, I will definitely know that a decent replacement exists.

Nowadays without localization in any way. It not only smoothes the ruble races, but also allows you to adapt the machines to the Russian road and climatic conditions. Here Tiguan produced almost all his conveyor life in Russia. And the new Tiguan, for whom we started this test, it comes out with us with a delay in the only reason - it took time to adjust production in Kaluga. Actually, the commissioning is still in the process and before the start of the sales should be waiting for several months, but we managed to get the Kaluga assembly in Russia in Russia!
Buyers will be offered to choose from nine combinations of engines, gearboxes and drive types. We stopped at all-wheel drive Tiguan with a two-liter 180-strong turbo engine and a DSG robot. And I will face it with the regulars to top sales: the fight take Mazda CX-5 and KIA Sportage.
Rivals are also local spill. Mazda is localized in Vladivostok. In service with a test machine 2.5-liter "Four" SkyActiv with a capacity of 192 hp, 6-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
Sportage is an unsurpassed leader in part of the local assembly: all its generations were collected in Kaliningrad! In theory, we would have to take a gasoline version for comparison. But the capacity is more suitable for 185-strong diesel, which is slightly cheaper and extremely popular in the Russian market. In general, we take diesel! By itself, with a machine gun and fully drive.

Do not fall asleep?
Strictly experienced or rear new Tiguan is good! Faceted body and multi-storey front optics made it more interesting. But in the profile of Tiguan looks like a car - the influence of a golf is felt: the same tilt of the rear racks, a big front svel.
However, the design is a matter of taste. But will the almost lightweight appearance on geometric passability affect? And how! Due to the low bumper, the angle of entry is really small - less than twenty degrees.
The interior is a geometrically verified space. Like Ergonomic experts, one hundred times reshered the front panel, while the gaps between the buttons, deflectors and chrome plates did not come to mathematical excellence. And for some reason, no moment you doubt that the designers tried to please you. Otherwise, how to explain that each of the participants in our test group quickly and without problems found a comfortable fit, and the mutual location of the controls and all buttons rated for five plus? It is cozy and everything is intuitive. The case when the manual remains dust in the mean drawer as unnecessary.
But in this flawlessness and weakness of the Tiguana. Assembly acceleration and honed driving properties are perceived as something of granted - and it is worth the Volkswagen at least to give the slack, it immediately cuts his eyes. I am not talking about the hard triggering suspension on small irregularities - such a character is traditional for many German cars. Fortunately, on medium and large calibers Tiguan stands stepping. But a small aerodynamic noise is another matter. Not crime, but against the background of excellently isolated wheeled arches and plugged motor compartment, a light breeze in the area of \u200b\u200bthe windshield, waking up at a speed of 100 km / h, is perceived as a tornado.
The same story with handling. Tiguan flawlessly stands on the arc, conquers the speed and purity of responses. The electric powerful honestly changes the effort on the steering wheel and does not disinform the driver. Perfectly! But light nervousness on asphalt kolas, barely noticeable sensitivity to the lateral wind, which in another case would not pay attention, here seems to be something out of a series of outgoing.
What there is no single comment, so it is to the engine ligament and the box. A wide torque shelf and machine-gun gearbox gearbox with two clutches instantly carries Tiguan away from competitors, and effective brakes With an informative drive, the car is not less confident. That's just a pedal is highly relative to the accelerator.
Without sparkOver the scenes of the comparative test, another modification of the new Tiguana remained - we decided to get acquainted with a diesel version with a capacity of 150 hp. (See video above). Transmission is similar, with preselective DSG robot and Haldex coupling of the fifth generation in the rear wheel drive, and the difference besides the motor, in the equipment. The diesel car went to us with the Offroad package: it gives out other bumpers. Thanks to the beveled beak, the angle of entry increased, and under the engine compartment we targeted the "extra" centimeter - despite the fact that representatives of the Russian office Volkswagen promise the same clearance for all machines that have passed adaptation! Looks like a greater clearance is due to a different form of plastic protection. The vulnerable area of \u200b\u200bthe turbodiesel machine is the exhaust pressure adjustment valve, which allows the requirements of environmental norms without the use of urea. It is located on exhaust pipeAnd, if you are going to often get out of off-road, it is better to cover it with an extra shield so as not to damage in a rut. The unconditional plus of a diesel engine is the ability to order an preheater. You can run it from the salon, and from the keychain: so you do not have to sit in a cold car. At idle, the diesel disseminates noticeable vibrations on the body, and if you open the door, the salon fills the unpleasant hum. In motion, however, the engine manifests itself much less. According to the manufacturer, up to hundreds diesel version Obsolete for 9.3 seconds, while gasoline Tiguan spends on the same 7.7 seconds. And this difference is very sensible! A low-rise 150-strong crossover is not called, but the best epithet for its dynamics is "sufficient." |
