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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds.

Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
