The latest, latest model was launched in May last year. Volkswagen Tiguan, an SUV that looks a bit 'spoiled' by the naked eye, but actually hidden ferocity in ride and handling. Maybe that's why his name is derived from the combination of two animals that spoiled but can be aggressive anytime of tiger and iguana.
Last June, Car Info able to follow test drive Volkswagen Tiguan organized for local motoring media. However, even a single day of the session progressed, however, driving patterns with a variety fly case of road conditions test the potency rewarding in this Tiguan.
Journey of Publika fly case Solaris heading to Tanah Aina, Bentong, Pahang through the highway and then a small road which is not as difficult fly case to control this SUV. Through hilly and winding fly case road near Genting International Convention Centre does not pose any problems fly case for this Tiguan.
He was still able to perform brilliantly especially fly case if forced to cut the vehicle in front. No need to press the throttle pedal after perhaps. Unnecessary energy deployment daubed hundred-percent because Tiguan 'smart' to perform as if hidden behind the 'softness'.
Despite only having engine capacity of 1.4 liter TSI four-cylinder direct injection of fuel, but still bold driven Tiguan.

After a short break in Bukit Fraser, a convoy heading to Kuala Kubu Bahru (CLA) also. With only two-lane road, quite narrow, lots of sharp corners and uphill downhill, drive more cautiously charged. Full attention is given to 'melenjan' pattern fly case in such a way to reduce the nausea as well as the percentage of straight road leading to the CLA is very small. Turn-by-turn instructions and the Tiguan is still intensely driven to excel.
The conclusion that can be drawn through the test drive two wheel drive SUV is that it is not only suitable for urban driving or in the city alone. In fact, it is also suitable dilenjan in travel patterns are challenging although fly case not involving off-road driving or extreme. fly case
