Volkswagen Tiguan test drive since 2008 SUV

Test drive in Russia: Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Qashqai

Tiguan exotic name is no less than Tuareg. Kashkai also sounds unusual
Tiguan classic, Qashqai is progressive. German SUV retained the best features of other VW models, and Japanese shows how it is not like X-Trail, Pathfinder and Murano
Inside
In the Tiguan salon, it seeks to show classic features and soft materials of the front panel. Fans of the 90s will like the design. The seats may seem slightly tough. In Kashkai, the cabin is represented by a more rounded panel. The central part is slightly overloaded with different buttons. The handle of the KP is made by the arm. But for some reason the windows buttons were very much pushed back. You have to bend the hand to reach. The chairs are soft, but the leather upholstery embarrasses, which is not like a natural product in texture
In move
Kashkai on the asphalt coating King of the road. A small experiment: we put the gas on the floor and look for acceleration on the computer: only 8.5 seconds to hundreds! The arrow of the tachometer at this time takes off to 5,000 revolutions and stretches even further, to 7,000 until you release the pedal. A frantic speaker is similar to the one that we saw with Nissan X-Trail. And fuel consumption is almost similar (less by 2 liters): 13 liters in the city.
The noise insulation of the arches was upset. Sand, pebbles and water rustling all this on arches and is perfectly heard in the cabin. The generic disease of some Nissan models. Oddly enough, there is no arched noise on another all-wheel drive Nissan X-Trail at all, but there are Teana.
Another technical minus in Qashqai is a solid suspension. Small potholes are still not noticed, but it is worth flying into a large asphalt hole, as Nissan racks graze and the blow is transferred to the body. Plus such a harsh suspension in excellent resistance when turning: barely noticeable rolls.
Tiguan with its mechanics sometimes tires. It is quite a dynamic motor, but with the Nissan engine it turns out to be more frozen on acceleration, despite the automatic transmission. There is a difference in fuel consumption: Tiguan takes 11-12 liters of gasoline per hundred, taking into account the air temperature -1 and the headlights turned on. The German car is perfectly soundproof. The suspension is remarkably coping with road pits. On tram rails, you can fly at 100 km/h, without feeling any beats and breaking through the suspension. Tiguan rides without discomfort in the field.
