VW Tiguan Track & Avenue Special Edition

Volkswagen Tiguan Track & Avenue Special Edition

Volkswagen is rolling out a new, special edition of their compact SUV in the hope of appealing to customers wanting a bit of luxury. The Volkswagen Tiguan Track & Avenue has some added frills and indulgences, while attempting to show an off-road look.

The added touches to the interior include sport seats lined in an ultra-soft leather also used for the door inserts. Driver and passengers should stay entertained by VW's RCD 510 audio system with six-inch color screen. However, we would have been more impressed if VW used the RNS 510 with sat-nav. The system does come with Dynaudio speakers, a big plus. Climate control and leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel are also added.

Exterior modifications begin with the 25-degree front end, with an off-road styling, that now includes Bi-Xenon headlights and fog lights. The diffuser, now in silver, looks to match the same colored trim on the doors. Riding on 19-inch Savannah alloys, the vehicle itself is available in Oryx White Pearl Effect or Island Grey Pearl Effect (seen in the pics).

Customers can choose either the 135-hp 2.0-liter diesel with an automatic transmission, the 165-hp 2.0-l diesel with a six-speed manual, or the 190-hp 2.0-liter TSI petrol with either manual or automatic.

Pricing begins at €38,225 for the Volkswagen Tiguan Track & Avenue with the 2.0-liter TSI and a manual transmission. This is nearly €12,000 more than the Tiguan Sport & Style with the same engine.

The New Tiguan Track & Avenue

Stylish and elegant special edition can be ordered now

Wolfsburg, 08 December 2009 - Volkswagen is extending its Tiguan model range with a special edition: the Tiguan Track & Avenue. High-end materials predominate in its interior; on the exterior subtle body modifications and 19-inch alloy wheels round out its sporty look. This new special model of the popular SUV can be ordered now.

The new Tiguan Track & Avenue rides on standard 19-inch "Savannah" alloy wheels, and it offers a price advantage of over 2,000 Euros when all of its elegant and stylish features are considered. Two special exterior colours are being offered on this very expressive off-roader: "Oryx White Pearl Effect" and "Island Grey Pearl Effect". The package also includes a 25 degree off-road front end, modest wheel flares and a silver-coloured diffuser.

The first-class equipment continues in the interior. The new Tiguan Track & Avenue has exclusive leather upholstery - "Heavy Waxy" in Amaranth - whose softness and durability make it one of the highest grade leathers. In addition, there are sport seats, an RCD 510 radio with Dynaudio sound system, "Climatronic" climate control and a leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel with coloured seams. The package is rounded out with front fog lights and Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic curve lighting.

The Tiguan Track & Avenue can be ordered in four engine-transmission combinations, all of them with a 6-speed gearbox. For example, the 2.0 TSI engine (147 kW / 200 PS) may be combined with a manual or automatic transmission. Two diesel engines with 2.0 l displacement complete the programme: the 103 kW / 140 PS engine paired with an automatic and the more powerful variant with a manual gearbox and 125 kW / 170 PS. Prices for the new Tiguan Track & Avenue begin at 38,225 Euros for the 2.0 l TSI with manual gearbox.
