Posted in Automotive on August 18th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to commentochetanie words “tiger” and “Leguan (German for” iguana “), the name” Tiguan was chosen from a short VW after the company received about 350 thousand suggestions from readers of German magazine Auto Bild. We like the name, especially since other consideration Rockton, Nanuk , Samun and Namib.
With a few muscles and a purposeful stance, unique front and rear ends, Volkswagen Tiguan and the “Trend” Fun refreshing to see compared to other compact SUVs such as the BMW X3 in the aging and ugly duckling Honda, CR-V.

Chromium lattice surround, color outside mirrors and door handles are standard across the spectrum. All the Tiguan is a handsome and stands out on the road.
Once inside you are embraced by supportive front seats. Optional electric seat adjustment on our test car meant an almost infinite number of driving positions are available and, in combination with an additional heated seats, made for a very convenient way, especially in the winter cape.
