[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Volkswagen Korea's '2020 Tiguan,' which began full-scale delivery last October, ranked first among all imported car models last month.

Volkswagen Korea announced on the 3rd that a total of 1,022 Tiguans were sold in March. This is the second time since November 2018 (1,640 units) that the monthly sales of the Tiguan have exceeded 1,000 units after the sales resumed. Notably, this time, the sales surpassed 1,000 units with only the front-wheel-drive model. Among all imported cars in March, the Tiguan was the only model to sell over 1,000 units.

Volkswagen Korea plans to solidify its position as the strongest imported sports utility vehicle (SUV) by expanding the Tiguan model lineup in the first half of this year, reflecting steady popularity and customer needs.

In April, deliveries of the all-wheel-drive version, 'Tiguan 4Motion Prestige,' will begin. Additionally, a 7-seater version, 'Tiguan Allspace,' which enhances space utilization by introducing a third-row seat, will be launched. Through this, the Tiguan will have four lineups: 2.0 TDI Premium, Prestige, 4Motion Prestige, and Allspace.

Stefan Krapp, Head of Volkswagen Division at Audi Volkswagen Korea, said, "Starting in April, with the addition of the 4Motion and 7-seater third-row seat version Tiguan Allspace, we will offer a wide range of Tiguan models reflecting diverse customer needs. Under the future 5T strategy, we will secure the most powerful and broad SUV lineup that can accommodate all customer lifestyles and establish ourselves as the most loved brand in the SUV market."
