Stefan Krapp, Head of Volkswagen Division at Audi Volkswagen Korea, stated, "The Tiguan, a global bestseller worldwide and the first imported SUV in Korea to record cumulative sales of 50,000 units, has once again proven its strength. The Tiguan will continue to perform well as an irreplaceable imported SUV with reasonable pricing and product quality."
Volkswagen attributes the Tiguan's steady popularity to its product capabilities that surpass competing models in the same class. The entire Tiguan lineup comes standard with various advanced features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Driving Profile Selection, Forward Collision Warning, Emergency Braking System, Pedestrian Monitoring System, and Traffic Jam Assist. In addition to various convenience features, it offers spacious interior space and high real-world fuel efficiency, enhancing practicality. Furthermore, by adding reasonable pricing and various programs that reduce customers' maintenance burdens, it has secured competitiveness in terms of total ownership cost.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen Korea is conducting a special promotion until the end of the year to celebrate the Tiguan being selected as the Consumer's Choice Car of the Year. In particular, for the Tiguan 2.0 TDI Premium, a discount benefit of 14%, exceeding 7 million KRW, is applied when using Volkswagen Financial Services, making it possible to purchase in the 36 million KRW range. A 12% discount is also applied for cash purchases. This promotion will end early once all 450 units are sold out.
