Volkswagen - 8 world premieres in Frankfurt

posted: Wednesday 01 August 2007 by Luca in: Volkswagen SUVs Announcements

VW TiguanVolkswagen has announced that il be showing 8 world premieres at the next IAA in Frankfurt. The most important premiere will probably be the new VW Tiguan, the mid-size SUV. The Tiguan will be equipped with a new 1.4-liter Twin Charger engine (150 ps), a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged engine (200 ps) and two new 2.0 liter Common-Rail turbo-charged engines, with respectively 140 and 170 ps. The new diesel engine will both comply with the new Euro 5 emission regulations.

VW will also show a “non convenzional” prototype, of which they say: “The heart of this sensationally flexible City Expert will beat where the flat-four boxer engine once did in the Beatle”. The fact that the press release talks about a “heart” and not an engine makes one think that it’ll be something different from a normal internal combustion engine.

Last but not least, the BlueMotion model offensive, with 6 world premieres. The “low-emissions, low fuel consumption” denoted by the BlueMotion range will thus grow from two to eight models, to which another one will be added during 2008.
