At present, it comes in three variants - Highline, United, and Join, powered by the same 1.4-litre petrol turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed direct-shift transmission.

In our previous stories, we have covered Tiguan's top features, Tiguan maintenance guide, and the comparison with its top rivals - Toyota Fortuner and Honda CR-V. And today, we bring detailed information about the safety features of the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The SUV, that sports elegant styling, sporty driving characteristics, and a premium interior also has an array of safety features. Let's have a look.

Airbags

This is perhaps, one of the most basic and required safety features that most cars possess. However, how many airbags are there is an important point of discussion as a car's safety rating significantly depends on it. If we talk about Volkswagen Tiguan, it comes with a total of 6 airbags - dual front, dual front side, and curtain airbags. Six is a good number, and thus, we can say the Tiguan has a safe cabin.

Cruise control system with speed limiter

Traction control with ASR and EDL

Anti-slip regulation prevents a wheel from spinning in the instance where it has limited traction. Electronic differential lock balances the power between two wheels when one wheel starts to turn. It directs the driving force to the wheel with more excellent traction. While the traction control system works together with the other safety features to ensure excellent traction and directional stability in the acceleration phase. 

Manoeuvre braking
