Now in its third generation, the new Volkswagen Tiguan is sent to enter a new era for the popular crossover.<\/p>\n
Whilst the model follows familiar styling cues to the rest of the Volkswagen range, the upcoming Tiguan will be based on a new platform, making it a capable plug-in hybrid.<\/p>\n
Thomas Sh\u00e4fer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, explained why the car was launched in front of 10,000 employees of the company\u2019s Wolfsburg factories.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cShowcasing our new Tiguan to the VW team ahead of its world premiere was a top priority for us. It is our way of saying thank you to our employees for their hard work and passion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe compact SUV is a very important model for the company and the Wolfsburg location, an absolute bestseller across the whole world. A total of 7.6 million customers have purchased our compact SUV since its debut in 2007.\u201d<\/p>\n
