All-New 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan
While Volkswagen has been focusing on the future, that doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten their current lineup! This week at the North American International Auto Show, VW debuted the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, which was designed for the needs of American customers. The all-new Tiguan is just as fun to drive as ever, but adds a more spacious interior with flexible seating, plus more safety and convenience technology.
The new Tiguan will be built on Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, which allows for a wider and lower stance. With 10.7 extra inches, it offers more interior space and up to 57 percent more cargo space! Plus, it is 4.4 inches wider, which means it can fit an optional third row and sliding second-row seats. Additional features include LED Lighting, optional Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Display, available Volkswagen Car-Net® System with compatible smartphone integration, and available Fender® Premium Audio System. The 2018 Tiguan will also offer the latest in safety technologies including a standard Rearview Camera plus available Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.
“The new Tiguan demonstrates how we plan to give American customers the usability and versatility they demand without sacrificing style or Volkswagen’s trademark driving dynamics,“ said Hinrich J. Woebcken, CEO of the North American Region, Volkswagen. “Every detail of the Tiguan has been thoughtfully engineered for our U.S. customers to maximize space and convenience, while retaining its performance, agility, and value. We plan to price Tiguan very competitively with other compact SUVs. With the brand-new Tiguan and the all-new Atlas, 2017 is the year of #SUVW.”

VW Unveils the I.D. Buzz Concept at the 2017 NAIAS
Volkswagen is kicking off the future of electric mobility with the debut of its newest electric concept called the I.D. Buzz, which premiered at the 2017 North American International Auto Show this week. The I.D. Buzz Concept encompasses the brand’s strategy for the next decade through four innovative pillars: Smart Sustainability, Automated Driving, Intuitive Usability, and a Connected Community.
“The I.D. BUZZ is a next-generation vehicle based on the new Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB), offering comfort and plenty of space,” says Dr. Frank Welsch, Volkswagen Member of the Board of Management responsible for Development. “The overall concept of the I.D. BUZZ points the way to the future. This concept vehicle is the world’s first electric multi-purpose vehicle to be equipped with a fully autonomous driving mode. It carries the feeling of freedom of the Microbus over to a completely new era of mobility.”
This next-generation electric vehicle features a zero-emissions all-wheel drive system that produces 369 horsepower and an estimated electric driving range of 270 miles. Drivers will also be able to switch from manual control to autonomous driving through the “I.D. Pilot” mode. The I.D. Buzz Concept also offers drivers extreme personalization through Volkswagen User-ID which can store your personal seat, air conditioning, light, and sound system settings along with favorite radio stations and contact information. The I.D. Buzz Concept also features a large interior for comfort and relaxation, plus it bares quite a resemblance to the beloved VW Type 2 “Microbus” of the 1950s and 1960s.
Stay tuned for more details on this incredible innovation from Volkswagen on the Fiore Volkswagen blog!
