The distinctive, solid ‘thunk’ of the door closing reassures
you of the build quality and Volkswagen’s commitment
to safety. It’s good to know you can appreciate intelligent
features such as headlights that automatically turn on in
low light, or rain sensing windscreen wipers that intuitively
activate during rainfall (both standard on the 147TSI).
The Tiguan is ideal for drivers who want the unique look
and versatility of an SUV, but also demand premium levels
of comfort, agility and flexibility. Designed from the chassis
up for driving enjoyment and safety, the Tiguan has created
a new benchmark.
The completely new and quiet TDI Common Rail engine
with diesel particulate filter delivers power from just above
idle speed. Parking problems become a thing of the past
with the Tiguan’s optional Park Assist feature which tackles
the job with precision. You’ll never get lost in the Tiguan
with the latest optional RNS510 satellite navigation system
guiding you with finesse. And with more than 1500 litres of
cargo space, the Tiguan is unbeatable value in its class.
The new Tiguan was designed to suit your every need.
It is compact yet comfortable, but still boasts magnificent
performance on all terrain – combining impressive power
with eco-friendly economy. It has all the benefits of a
compact SUV with the sleek style of a sports car. The new
Tiguan comes with three high-power, low fuel consumption
engines: the innovative 2.0 litre TSI versions (125kW or
147kW) drive the petrol models, while the 103TDI diesel
version is a 2.0 litre TDI engine with 103kW power and
an impressive 320Nm of torque. With so much choice,
the Tiguan sets new standards in its class.
It’s good to know you can enjoy the assurance of precision
laser welding construction – increasing body rigidity for
more precise handling dynamics and increased safety,
ensuring tight panel gaps and a quiet interior. It is also
supported by a 12-year anti-corrosion perforation warranty.
The Tiguan – it’s good to know you can.
Overseas specification vehicles are shown in this brochure.
Some features and options may not be available in Australia.

Packed with class-leading safety features, the Tiguan is
a pleasure to drive. The eye-catching headlights are not
only elegant but practical, lighting up the bends in the
road with its optional dynamic or static cornering lights
featuring bi-xenon technology. You can even create an
open-top cabriolet feel with the optional panoramic
sunroof. Open it up to let a liberating view of the outside
world flood in.
Design.
Combining style and substance, the new Tiguan is
distinctively unique. The Tiguan truly is an all-rounder –
agile and comfortable to drive, extremely practical and
full of ground breaking technology. No other car has so
many different qualities.
The Tiguan inspires the senses – its engaging design
matches its impressive luxury. The Tiguan is clearly
Volkswagen-designed, but it is instantly different from
all the other models in the Volkswagen range. At the rear,
the lights are integrated into the shoulder section, while
the steep slope of the tailgate extends right down to the
bumpers, giving the Tiguan an unmistakable SUV design.

The Tiguan range.
Each model is manufactured to the highest standards with
the focus on comprehensive safety features, top quality,
elegant styling and impressive performance from one of
Volkswagen’s class-leading petrol or turbo diesel engines.
Engine power is delivered by either the sporty manual or
the latest automatic six-speed transmissions.
Equipped with Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive,
the Tiguan exudes adrenalin-fuelled adventure.
The Tiguan 125TSI is an exciting combination of sports-
inspired performance with refined and responsive
handling. The Tiguan 103TDI’s Common Rail injection
brings extreme strength and fuel economy while still
being whisper-quiet. It features 103kW of power, with an
enormous 320Nm of torque, plus a diesel particulate filter.
At the top of the range, the outstanding Tiguan 147TSI with
a 147kW petrol engine is immensely powerful thanks to its
TSI technology creating 280Nm of torque for performance
without compromise.

02 Practical features are part of the Tiguan’s design philosophy.
03 Sliding and split folding rear seats provide optimum flexibility.

Leather upholstery is an optional extra.
Flexible Interior.
If the outside of the new Tiguan is inspiring, the inside is
amazing. Its compact size disguises an exceptionally spacious
interior. Using only high quality materials in its sporty design,
the new Tiguan’s spacious cabin is supremely elegant. Its sense
of style and ergonomic design create ultimate comfort and
refinement, with everything intuitively in just the right place.
The seats are upholstered in a stylish hard-wearing fabric to
survive harsh day-to-day wear while still looking great.
The Tiguan’s clever design has created maximum storage space.
Hidden compartments in the roof console and doors, as well as
beneath the front seats in the 147TSI, complement the spacious
luggage compartment. The rear seats split-fold in a 60:40 ratio,
and individually slide and recline, letting you increase rear
legroom or just create the storage space you need. The front
passenger seat backrest also folds down to give you plenty of
room for transporting bulky items (standard on the 147TSI).
02

Flexible Interior.
Comfort and convenience surround you in the Tiguan,
with an eight-speaker, MP3-compatible radio/CD player,
complete with AUX-in socket for external multimedia
sources. Fold down the load-through flap in the rear and
two cup holders match the two in the front. Whether
you’re looking to transport friends, kids, luggage or almost
anything else, you’ll find the Tiguan rewards you with all
the freedom you need.

Passengers travel in exceptional comfort, both in the front
and rear. Like cinema seating, the rear seats are slightly
higher for a better view outside to make the journey fly by.
The Tiguan also boasts practical features like a
multi-function leather steering wheel, a Multi-Function
Display ‘Plus’ and a height-adjustable front centre
armrest with storage box.
01 The already generous boot space expands to a massive
volume of 1510 litres when the seats are folded.
02 The Tiguan impresses with a Multi-Function leather
steering wheel and a Multi-Function Display ‘Plus.’
03 The Tiguan’s rear seats are positioned to provide
passengers with an optimal view. (leather upholstery
optional).
01
Leather upholstery is an optional extra.

12
The Tiguan has an extremely rigid frame for maximum
protection inside the passenger safety cell, yet its body
panels constructed from high tensile steel, are designed
to crumple in the event of an accident, absorbing the
energy of the impact.
4MOTION all-wheel drive.
All-wheel drive is vital for maximum traction and the
Tiguan’s intelligent all-wheel drive adds to its active
safety features. The latest generation of 4MOTION
all-wheel drive is standard and available with manual
or automatic six-speed transmissions.
The new active safety system standard on every
Tiguan includes ABS with Brake Assist and Electronic
Stabilisation Program (ESP). The ESP detects potential
accidents and brakes individual wheels while reducing
engine power to help keep the vehicle under control.
In emergencies, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
and Brake Assist work with the ESP to automatically
increase the braking effort. Three-point seatbelts on
all seats are teamed with belt force limiters on the front
seats to reduce chest impact, and three child seat anchor
points are fitted in the rear. Safety optimised head
restraints are available on the front seats. Six airbags
(twin front, side and curtain) are also standard features.
In an accident, depending on the severity of the impact,
the Tiguan’s safety features work together to protect
occupants by deploying the belt tensioners and airbags.
The system also activates the hazard warning lights, the
doors are unlocked, interior lights are switched on and
the fuel pump is deactivated. Pedestrian safety is also
improved with a deformable bonnet and foam sections
behind the front bumpers to minimise leg injuries.
Electro-mechanical parking brake and
Auto Hold function.
You can climb any mountain with the standard equipped
electro-mechanical parking brake and Auto Hold. As soon
as the Tiguan comes to a complete stop, the ABS hydraulic
unit retains its final braking pressure. So even when you
take your foot off the brake pedal, the brakes remain
applied to all four wheels, providing increased comfort
in stationary traffic. When you drive off again, a touch
on the accelerator automatically releases this function,
and your journey continues.
The Tiguan owes its high safety rating#
to its rigid
body structure which creates a solid passenger cell,
surrounded by energy-absorbing crumple zones and a
protection system. The Tiguan’s lightweight construction
is reinforced with hardened, high strength steel to give
occupants maximum protection in an accident.
#This vehicle has been awarded a maximum 5 Star Rating by ANCAP.
01 4MOTION all-wheel drive is standard and available with
manual or automatic six speed transmissions.
02 ABS with Brake Assist identifies an emergency stop
and boosts braking pressure to maximum, reducing the
stopping distance.
03 With just a push of a button, Auto Hold automatically
activates the electronic parking brake, holding the Tiguan
in a stationary position.
04 The Tiguan's advanced key features are accessible at the
touch of a button.

RCD310 entertainment system.
The new RCD310 in-car entertainment system features
a large display, a single disc CD player with mp3/wma
compatibility, as well as an AUX-IN interface for connecting
a mobile audio player. This is standard for 125TSI
and 103TDI.

125TSI.

The powerful 125TSI delivers exhilarating performance
from its 2.0 litre direct injection, turbocharged petrol
engine. With 125kW of power and 280Nm of torque via
the 4MOTION all-wheel drive, and either 6-speed manual
or Tiptronic automatic transmissions, it’s a driving
delight. Safety features include ABS with Brake Assist,
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), and front,
side and curtain airbags. Driver comfort hasn’t been
overlooked with cruise control, semi-automatic air-
conditioning, and a Multi-Function Display ‘Plus’-all
standard on every model. Enjoy the convenience of the
sliding and split-folding rear seat, height-adjustable front
seats and 12V accessory sockets in the centre console.
TSI Technology.
A miracle of performance.
TSI is Volkswagen’s twin or single-charged petrol
engines with direct injection. TSI combines FSI direct
injection petrol technology with turbocharging.
This innovative engineering has created high tech
engines boasting excellent torque and power output
at low revolutions, combined with lower fuel
consumption and emissions.
The Tiguan TSI engine is an innovative 2.0 litre unit
that saves petrol while delivering impressive power
and performance thanks to the turbocharger and direct
petrol injection. From the driver’s seat, all you feel is one
continuous, exhilarating surge as it produces high torque
at low revs and an abundance of power. You can continue
driving all day because, if there’s one thing the TSI engine
hates, it’s petrol stations. It’s as economical as many
engines with half as much power.

is mp3/wma compatible.

The new Tiguan makes life simple for you. The Park
Assist feature acts like an extra set of eyes and an expert
pair of hands, with parking distance sensors front and
rear. Thanks to this technology, reverse parking has
never been so easy.
When driving past a parking space at up to 30 km/h,
ultrasonic sensors compare the available space with
the length of the Tiguan. If there’s enough room to park,
Park Assist automatically takes charge when you put it
into reverse. Accelerator, clutch and brake are all you
need to control as the Tiguan is then expertly parked.

Owning a Volkswagen
4MOTION
An all-wheel-drive system that provides the best possible traction
at all road speeds, in all weather and road conditions. An electronic
Haldex clutch responds to traction losses at the front and rear axles
and directs torque to the axle with the best traction.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel
speed and should one or more wheels start to lock the ABS system
reduces brake pressure to that wheel. This prevents the wheels
from locking during heavy or emergency braking, enabling the
vehicle to remain steerable.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR is a switchable traction control system that prevents the wheels
from spinning under acceleration by reducing engine torque.
Auto Hold function
As soon as the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the ABS hydraulic
unit stores the vehicles final braking pressure. So even when you take
your foot off the brake pedal, all four wheels brakes remain applied,
providing increased comfort in stationary traffic. This function is
released automatically when you drive off again.
Brake Assist
During emergency braking, Brake Assist aids the driver by increasing
the brake pressure automatically to a level exceeding the locking limit.
The ABS is thus quickly brought into the operating range, which
enables maximum vehicle deceleration to be achieved.
Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)
Electronic, more sophisticated means of regulating the ratio of
front/rear brake pressure. Settings are varied according to driving and
load conditions to ensure each wheel is braked to the optimum extent.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
EDL improves driving and steering characteristics when
accelerating on road surfaces where each wheel has a different
degree of traction. The system operates automatically and is
combined with the ABS system. Using the ABS wheel sensors,
EDL monitors the speed of the individual driving wheels. When a
difference in driving wheel speed is detected (i.e. when one wheel
starts to spin due to differences in road surfaces, e.g. due to water
or dirt) the system brakes the spinning wheel, transferring engine
power to the wheel with the best traction.
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)
ABS, EDL and ASR traction control systems are integrated into
the Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). In short, ESP helps
ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it even in extreme
driving conditions. The ESP system constantly compares the actual
movement of the vehicle with predetermined values and should a
situation arise where the vehicle starts to skid, ESP will apply the
brakes to individual wheels and automatically adjust the engine’s
power output to correct the problem. ESP prevents the vehicle from
losing control when trying to avoid an accident, for example.
It also prevents spinning off on a curve due to either understeer
or oversteer.
Engine Braking Control (EBC)
Prevents the driven wheels from locking if the accelerator is lifted
very suddenly or the vehicle is braked sharply because a low gear
is engaged.

Park Assist*
Park Assist actively helps the driver when reversing into parallel
parking spaces. The system works by using sensors mounted either
side of the front bumper together with parking distance sensors
front and rear.
To parallel park the driver needs to press the Park Assist button
and use the appropriate indicator before the car passes the potential
parking space. Sensors in the front bumper then scan the size of
the parking space as the car is driven slowly past and the driver
is alerted if the parking space is big enough. If there is sufficient
space, the driver stops the car, selects reverse and let’s go of the
steering wheel.
Park Assist will alert the driver of the intended reverse path in the
Multi-Function Display, within the driver’s field of vision. Park
Assist then actively supports the driver by taking over the steering
control and parks the vehicle in the available space using the ideal
course. The driver can however take over the control of the steering
at any time and end the automatic parking procedure. The system
can reverse into parking spaces on both the left hand and right
hand side of the road, for example on one way streets.
Park Assist cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally
responsible for the vehicle. If the driver notices a risk that pedestrians, other
vehicles or objects could be damaged or if they are uncertain of the risk, they
will need to react accordingly and stop the vehicle, ending the function.
Off-road Technology*
With one switch, off-road technology mode activates an integrated
group of assistance systems that substantially enhance control in an
all-terrain environment. Off-road technology includes Hill Descent
Assistance which ensures by means of controlled brake applications
that the vehicle does not go out of control when descending a steep
hill. Hill Descent Assistance will only operate when speeds are lower
than 20km/h, the gradient is greater than 20%, the engine is running
and the accelerator and brake pedals are not pressed.
