The Tiguan.

The Tiguan’s sophisticated design includes a multi-layered approach to protecting all the vehicle’s occupants. Active safety features, like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), are on hand to help avoid dangerous situations. Meanwhile, energy-absorbing crumple zones surround a high-strength passenger cell ensuring you and your passengers are protected at all times. Inside and out, the Tiguan is designed with your utmost safety in mind.

As driving conditions vary, the best safety features adapt to potential threats. The Tiguan’s active safety systems work with you to prevent dangerous situations before they occur. The Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) detects accident-prone conditions and responds automatically, braking individual wheels while reducing engine power to enhance your control. If required, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist will prevent wheels from locking to keep the Tiguan steerable.

You can climb any mountain with the standard equipped electro-mechanical parking brake with AutoHold function. As soon as the Tiguan comes to a complete stop, the ABS hydraulic unit retains its final braking pressure. So even when you take your foot off the brake pedal, the brakes remain applied to all four wheels, providing increased comfort in stationary traffic. When you drive off again, a touch on the accelerator automatically releases this function, and your journey continues.

Within the Tiguan’s safety cell, numerous passive safety features enhance your interior protection in any situation. Three-point seatbelts on all seats are combined with pre-tensioners and belt force limiters on the front seats to reduce any chest impact, while three child seat anchor points are fitted in the rear. Six airbags (twin front, side and curtain) as standard ensure any impact is cushioned.

When it comes to your safety, nothing beats independent assurance. Your peace of mind is backed by the Tiguan’s five star safety rating from the stringent independent European motor vehicle safety assessors at Euro NCAP*. It’s an unbiased guarantee that yet again, Volkswagen’s safety engineers have considered every detail to ensure your constant safety.
