In Detroit is the Volkswagen up with a hybrid off-road concept for your Tiguan.

The term GTE is doing the round at Volkswagen, but was never previously associated with an off-road killer. So it is a hybrid, but that is not all. The Tiguan has 2 electric motors, divided between the front and rear axle. The front axle has 54 horsepower, rear is 114 hp. In combination with the 148-horsepower petrol engine, you come over after some very complicated calculations on a combined total capacity of 211 trappelende mares. Enough to the 4×4 with 6.4 seconds to 100 to catapult, but not enough to be your grandmother in her Polo stay ahead; 193km/h and then the cake.

In terms of positioning it may be quite obvious which way the bosses from Wolfsburg to the solution. With a larger ground clearance of 5 cm, different off-road settings in the console and with guards and extra eyes it appears that Volkswagen is clearly something else is meant than the original GTE concept for the Tiguan. That was a little Active and a lot of Sport. This car is meant for the family man who like with the bikes IN the car half of the bergparcours drive, back economical back have to drive to the boss, a Freeway-phobia, but too little money for a Range Rover. Perfect for the Dutchman. Also, from now on, by the way, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available in the infotainment system.
