Is this coupe SUV to be said today just released by SAIC Volkswagen? Although the name of Tiguan X is "Tiguan", it is also a derivative model of the same level, but after seeing the real car, we will find that this Tiguan X does not seem to have much to do with our impression of Tiguan L except the name.
In fact, Tiguan X adopts a brand-new face of overseas Tiguan, including headlights, air intake grille, front lip and bumper. Coupled with a more personalized coupe figure, it's hard not to let people see more.
Compared with the previous horizontal and vertical shapes, Tiguan X seems to have a youthful and unruly nature in his bones. While maintaining the fierce style of the family, it also brings more curved surface design and curve extension, which will undoubtedly make the front of the car look more in line with the streamline of the coupe SUV.
The integrated design of headlights and air intake grille adds their own space in modeling, and they are like a jigsaw puzzle. No matter what individuals are, the combination will make the visual experience very harmonious.
Do these headlights look familiar? The eighth generation golf, which has just been listed, is also equipped with the same headlights. I believe that Volkswagen's new car will follow suit slowly in the future.
The standard slip-back design is the soul of this Tiguan X. The tough style of Tiguan L is maintained below the waistline on the side of the car body, and on top of it, it is equipped with a coupe-style curved roof. When the two are combined, there is no awkward feeling, but there is a sense of fluency that is eager to try.
As one of the important attributes of Tiguan X, in order to further deepen this personality and sense of movement, we can see that Tiguan X has also made a lot of efforts in many details design, such as 20-inch large rims, black rearview mirrors, black roofs, and R-line logos. In addition, in terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4764× 1859× 1628 mm and the wheelbase is 279 1 mm, respectively. ..
If the previous introduction is reasonable for a coupe SUV, then the design of the rear is a bit unexpected. Its special features are almost all focused on the taillight design. The outer layer of the blackened taillight is covered with a transparent cover plate, and the internal light group structure is easily reminiscent of Lamborghini, especially after lighting, the "combat power" is also ignited.
However, compared with the vitality and dynamic appearance, the interior design seems to be not much different from Tiguan L, and it is still a traditional formula with original flavor. Of course, if we go deep into the details, it has also been upgraded and adjusted with the times. The steering wheel has been upgraded to the latest style, and the multi-function buttons, central control panel and air conditioning control area of the steering wheel have all replaced the physical buttons with touch operation.
As can be seen from the LOGO embedded in the middle, this is the latest steering wheel design of Volkswagen brand. In addition to the flat design that emphasizes movement and delicate grip, the touch multi-function button is also an important feature. When fingers touch the touch panel, there will be slight vibration feedback, which feels very similar to the physical buttons, but even so, it is still impossible to avoid the embarrassment of accidental touch.
10.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 9.2-inch central control panel become standard, navigation information can be directly transferred to the dashboard for display, and the compatibility of the central control panel system is greatly improved, supporting CarPlay and CarLife, with online audio and video functions, and also supporting the expansion of third-party applications.
In terms of configuration, regardless of comfort or safety configuration, Tiguan X covers almost all popular configurations: mobile phone wireless charging, automatic parking, automatic parking, adaptive cruise, 360-degree panoramic image, panoramic sunroof and so on.
The seat configuration is also quite high. The top model of the test drive has 8-way electric adjustment and 4-way lumbar support adjustment, equipped with 3 groups of memory functions and heating/ventilation functions. There is nothing to say about the comfort and wrapping of the seat, especially the wrapping, which can firmly press the driver on the seat when turning, but every time you get on and off the bus, the higher cushion wings will be impressive.
The treatment in the back row is not low. It has an independent air conditioning control area and is equipped with a type? A and type? C two power interfaces, in addition, more importantly, the sense of satisfaction in space. The author's height is 183cm, and the rear seats can basically meet the needs of kneeling and sitting up straight. The ride experience is no different from that of a general SUV.
Of course, the price of coupe SUV is still there, and the storage space in the trunk is really affected, but it is basically enough for daily use.
Tiguan X is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is divided into low-power 330TSI and 380TSI, matching 7-speed powershift. The test drive model is 380TSI. For this power system, many fans have already memorized it: What is the maximum power of the low-power version? 137 kW, peak torque of 320Nm；; The maximum power of the high-power version is 162 kW, and the peak torque is 350 Nm.
The feeling of familiarity has begun with the ignition of the car. As the public who put the dual clutch into the market earlier, they do have a set of adjustment for the transmission part. When they are in the D gear, the speed increases gradually as their right feet gradually leave the brake pedal. Even if you start and stop on the uphill section, there is no uncontrollable impulse like the general double clutch.
As always, the steering wheel is light and small, and the lightness lies in the steering handle, which is very friendly to female users; The tightness lies in the fineness of direction control, and every degree of the steering wheel can be reflected on the wheels.
At the same time, the flexible chassis adjustment makes the driver's goodwill towards the steering system upgrade again. For this Tiguan X, the former McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, you can't simply define it as "soft" or "hard". In other words, its chassis has high ability and efficiency to cope with road conditions: there is no lack of comfort on bumpy roads, and there is no lack of support for cornering and emergency avoidance.
For everyday driving, this Tiguan X will provide a very pleasant driving atmosphere. The transmission usually controls the speed below 2000 rpm, which can not only bring a smoother ride experience, but also effectively control the noise and fuel consumption.
Toggle the gear lever to switch to the S gear, and the speed will rise by one level. At this time, Tiguan X keeps attacking at any time, downshifts more actively, there is almost no delay in throttle depth and power output, and power expression is more arbitrary, but all models are not equipped with shift paddles, which may be a pity for drivers with strong hands-on ability.
Summary: Tiguan X is a product with distinctive personality, which is not only reflected in the coupe design, but also in the brand-new shape designed with heart. Outstanding design makes it always be quickly distinguished in the vast sea of cars. At the same time, under the foreshadowing of the mature platform and power system of the public, both the test drive experience and the user's word of mouth are fully guaranteed. And very importantly, its face value and personality are almost not at the expense of reducing practicality, but more like an added value. Are you excited about this Tiguan X?
