From head to toe, this SUV offers it all: eye-catching design, intuitive capability, and tons of space. Let’s check out the most promising features of the Tiguan. Turn Heads as You Turn Corners The VW Tiguan strikes a stunning pose with its sporty build and sleek silhouette. The chrome accents on the front grille and the available LED headlights with Adaptive Fog-Lighting System provide a great compliment to any of the six exterior color options, which include: • Silk Blue Metallic • Pure White • Deep Black Pearl • Stone Blue Metallic • Platinum Gray Metallic • Pyrite Silver Metallic Striking LED taillights finish up the rear, providing both beauty and brains. However, don’t let this SUV’s good looks fool you. There’s more to the exterior than meets the eye. Underneath all that shine is a safety cage consisting of front and rear crumple zones to help absorb crash energy. Plus, the rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. Buyer’s Guide to Volkswagen SUVs Page 4 Power & Performance Continuing with our exterior tour, we’ll take a look under the hood and explore the Tiguan engine. The Tiguan comes standard with a 2.0L Turbo engine that generates 184 horsepower. That’s not all, though. If they like, drivers have the option of upgrading to include VW 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system, which works to distribute power to individual wheels as weather conditions change, improving overall traction. Another commendable aspect of this engine is its fuel economy. Since SUV’s are great for longer trips, it’s important to have a vehicle that can go the extra mile, and the Tiguan does not disappoint. The standard Tiguan S can achieve an EPA-estimated 22 city and 29 highway MPG.* This means more time enjoying the journey, and less time at the pump. Buyer’s Guide to Volkswagen SUVs Page 5 Spacious & Inviting Interior Cabin The interior cabin of the VW Tiguan is as impressive as its exterior, creating a space that’s roomy, inviting, and adaptable. Up front, drivers will enjoy the feeling of optional 10-way power seating with power-adjustable lumbar support. Available leather seating surfaces and an optional leather-wrapped steering wheel add to this luxurious aesthetic. There’s even more to love about the Tiguan, like available Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control and optional heated steering wheel for chilly mornings into work. As for space, you’ll find lots of it. Discover just how much through the following chart: Front Rear Headroom 39.6 inches 39.1 inches Shoulder Room 57 inches 55.9 inches Legroom 40.2 inches 36.6 inches These measurements provide plenty of room for the whole crew. If your journey requires the transport of large items, 73.5 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded down ensures nothing gets left behind. For a combination of the two, the standard 40/20/40 split-folding second row has got it covered. Buyer’s Guide to Volkswagen SUVs Page 6 High-Tech Connections Whether you’re heading downtown to dinner, home from work, or to the beach, it’s important to stay connected to the world around you. Thankfully, the Tiguan has the high-tech systems to help you do just that.

Buyer’s Guide to Volkswagen SUVs Page 7 VW Atlas Cross Sport: The Bold SUV Next in the SUV lineup is the VW Atlas Cross Sport. If you’re looking for a vehicle to effortlessly switch from on-road driving to off-road adventuring, this is the SUV for you. Strength & Performance for Days The Atlas Cross Sport is available in two engine configurations. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivers 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, making for solid driving and smooth transitions onto highways. The optional 3.6L V6 engine brings a bit more power with 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. It also comes with a factory-installed towing hitch, which allows the engine to tow up to 5,000 pounds with ease. No matter which engine you choose, you’ll get to experience the adaptability of 4MOTION® all-wheel drive with Active Control. All it takes is the turn of a dial to switch among four separate drive modes to find the right one for your current driving situation. On-Road Mode is great for normal conditions and paved roads, while Off-Road Mode helps to maintain traction on challenging road surfaces. Buyer’s Guide to Volkswagen SUVs Page 8 Space for all Your Gear While the Atlas Cross Sport may only sit five passengers, that doesn’t mean it’s short on space. In fact, it’s quite the contrary, as drivers get access to a notable 77.8 cubic feet of cargo volume when the rear seats are folded down. That’s plenty of room for sports equipment, fishing gear, or whatever else your day may require. Similarly, if your adventure entails a bit of backroads exploration where there may be limited access to modern conveniences, your Atlas Cross Sport will be there to save the day. Three 12-volt power outlets are installed in the front console, rear console, and cargo area to power and charge up your laptops, phones, cameras, and more.
