Starting off the new lineup at Eastside Volkswagen is the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan, the sporty crossover SUV that has made a name for itself as a fun drive thanks to a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque.

The design of the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan hasn't undergone many changes from last year, so those admiring the quality materials used in the interior and the elegant exterior design can expect the same attractive build for the new model year. Upgraded for 2016 is the in-dash infotainment, with the Tiguan being the first vehicle to receive the new Volkswagen MIB II infotainment system. The system has been making news since it won the 2015 CES Editors' Choice Award at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. The MIB II infotainment is unique and innovative in the automotive world as one of the first infotainment platforms to integrate Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink to offer compatibility with mobile devices across many brands and different operating systems.

In addition to offering better connectivity features, the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan has already earned a four-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It performed best in side and rollover crash tests and the rating is based on both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. Safety equipment in the Tiguan includes electronic stability control, antilock brakes, six airbags and the Volkswagen Intelligent Crash Response System, which shuts off the fuel-pump, unlocks doors and turns on warning lights after an accident is detected.

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan has also received lower pricing for the new model year across all trim levels, giving it a more appealing price tag. For those looking for a sportier look, the R-Line trim level has also been shifted in the lineup to fall in price between the S and SE trim levels.
