VW Tiguan: A proper off-roader

Autocar says the VW Tiguan will be a proper off-roader.

Volkswagen's new Tiguan 4x4 will be more than just a reworked Golf with four-wheel drive and extra ground clearance.

Following final testing of the car in the Namibian desert, Autocar can exclusively reveal that the Tiguan has been designed to make it a proper off-roader.

Two body styles will be available – a regular version and one with better approach angles at the front end to improve its off-road ability when climbing hills and negotiating obstacles.

The standard car has an approach angle of 18 degrees, while the off-road version has 28 degrees –better than a BMW X5.
