[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Volkswagen Tiguan, a leader in the imported compact SUV market, continues to enjoy steady popularity this year.

Since its debut in 2007, the Tiguan has achieved cumulative sales of 5 million units and ranked among the top 10 best-selling models globally in January this year. This growth trend continues domestically as well. First launched in the Korean market in 2008, the Tiguan has sold over 40,000 units and secured the annual best-selling title for two consecutive years in 2014 and 2015. This year, more than 1,000 units were sold in January and February combined.

The Tiguan's consistent popularity stems from its excellent product qualities. It receives high praise from drivers for its spacious rear headroom, best-in-class cargo space expanding up to 1,655 liters, sleek and modern interior and exterior design, and fuel efficiency.

At the end of this month and next month, the lineup will be further strengthened with the launch of the Tiguan 4Motion and the 7-seater Tiguan Allspace. Volkswagen, which previously released the Tiguan 4Motion and the 5-seater Allspace, will reintroduce the 4Motion in the 2020 model year in response to strong customer demand. Additionally, to meet the growing demand for larger SUVs, the Tiguan Allspace will be launched as a 7-seater model.

Following the Tiguan, the sales of the newly launched 3rd generation Touareg are also progressing smoothly. The Touareg sold a total of 125 units last month, securing a spot in the 'Top 3' of the imported luxury SUV market. Notably, the first-month sales volume of the new Touareg in Korea is three times the average monthly sales of the 1st and 2nd generation models, raising expectations even higher.

Volkswagen plans to launch the Touareg 4.0ℓ V8 model next month. The V8 model will be equipped with next-generation anti-roll bar systems such as Active Roll Stabilization and Night Vision. Furthermore, it is expected to attract more attention as it may be the last V8 TDI model.
