Equipment in three versions

Customers can configure their car in three equipment options: Life, Elegance, and R-Line. In addition to the different extras, basic details such as lane-keeping assist, a telephone interface, or rain sensors are part of the basic equipment.

What does that mean?

For VW, the SUV is one of the most important pillars of the fleet. An electric version of it was just a matter of time. With the company’s commitment to aiming for the Paris climate goals, VW is sending a clear signal – e-mobility is the future, even for “classics” like the Tiguan.
