Tiguan Wins Autozeitung Reader’s Choice Award

  • Second generation of the best-seller wins Autozeitung international reader poll
The new Tiguan wins the 2015 Auto Trophy. In Autozeitung’s reader poll the second generation of the compact SUV won in the ‘All-terrain vehicle up to €30,000’ category. In doing so, it beat off 21 rivals and continued the successful record of its predecessor.

Readers of Autozeitung and international motoring titles published by the Bauer Media Group were asked for the second time to pick the best cars in every category. Jürgen Stackmann, Member of the Board of Management Volkswagen Passenger Cars Brand, accepted the award for the new Tiguan this evening and declared: “We are delighted to be awarded the Auto Trophy for this fantastic new car. With its dynamic design and innovative technologies, the new Tiguan has everything it takes to conquer the compact SUV market, just like its predecessor.”

Following sales of over 2.6 million achieved by the first generation, the new Tiguan celebrated its world premiere at the IAA (International Motor Show) in Frankfurt. This model’s design is based on the modular transverse matrix platform MQB, as a result of which the chassis proportions of the new Volkswagen SUV, the first to be designed on this basis, are strikingly sporty. Assistance systems bring perfection to comfort, dynamic handling and safety, while whole new dimensions are opened up by online services. In addition, all current Apple and Android smartphones can be integrated via App-Connect into the infotainment systems’ range of functions and even tablets can become an integrative part of the car by virtue of the ‘Media Control’ app.

The Auto Trophy is one of the most significant automotive awards in Germany. It was presented this evening in Hamburg in the presence of many high-profile names from business and social circles.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
