Breaking Down the Latest News About New Cars for Sale in Houston in the EV Category

When the VW ID.4 came out last year, it changed the game for Volkswagen and the electric vehicle market. There's a reason why the VW ID.4 won the World Car of the Year Award in 2021 and continues to sell like hot cakes in 2022. Quite frankly, it does everything and more that an electric vehicle should. It delivers future forward design and features while also providing ease of use and a fun driving style. It gets an estimated 275 miles on a single charge (Pro model), which makes it more than capable of tackling the weekly commutes of drivers everywhere. It also happens to be one of the most affordable all-electric vehicles on the market, clocking in at a starting MSRP of $41,230 (as low as $33,730 after potential federal tax credit). The VW ID.4 also delivers all the classic hallmarks of the traditional SUV, even though this vehicle is about as nontraditional as it gets. For those that need enough storage capacity for their weekend getaway or camping trip, the VW ID.4 provides 64.2 cubic feet of storage (with the rear seats folded down). And don't let the fact that this is an electric vehicle make you think that it's lacking in power. Far from it. The VW ID.4 delivers up to 295 horsepower and up to 339 lb-ft. of torque, making it more than capable of leaving every other SUV in the dust. So, what’s next in the world of VW electric cars for sale? It might possibly be a familiar face – the VW Tiguan.

Will the Tiguan be the Next VW Electric Car for Sale?

Anyone who's been keeping an eye on Volkswagen for the last five years knows that they consider the EV market the next frontier of automobiles. The VW ID.4 was merely the beginning of a very long campaign to broaden their electric vehicle offering. There are plenty more electric vehicles in their catalog that are queued up for release including the ID. Buzz, the ID. AERO, and the ID. LIFE just to name a few. However, from the perspective of an automaker, it's much easier to convert an existing vehicle to electric rather than build something from scratch. Hence, why this next bit of news doesn't exactly come as a surprise. Recently, spy photographers captured a prototype of a next generation Tiguan being tested. It didn't have any tail pipes and the front grill was closed off to most of the air intakes, which leads reporters to believe that this is either a hybrid model or an all-electric model of Tiguan. If VW is indeed testing an electric prototype of the Tiguan, experts believe that the SUV could make an arrival to European and American markets as early as 2025. There have been multiple sightings of the test mule version of the Volkswagen Tiguan, which is why experts believe that this is an electric vehicle VW is seriously considering putting into production. Only time will tell if the Tiguan becomes the next great EV in the VW all-electric catalog.

Ahora puede obtener un techo solar panorámico en el SE como extra opcional, que recomendamos muchísimo.

También tiene una gran maniobrabilidad, al tiempo que ofrece una excelente eficiencia de combustible gracias a su motor estándar de cuatro cilindros y 2.0 litros. La opción de una tercera fila de asientos es poco habitual en la categoría de los crossover compactos, y el VW Tiguan hace un gran uso de la tercera fila sin comprometer el espacio de carga. El interior del Tiguan es sedoso, enfocándose en la funcionalidad por encima de las declaraciones de estilo, un sello distintivo de los automóviles VW. Hay hasta 12 pies cúbicos de espacio de carga detrás de la tercera fila de asientos, y con los asientos abatidos, el Tiguan tiene más espacio que la media de su clase. El cómodo interior está ataviado con todas las comodidades, como un punto de acceso Wi-Fi de serie y compatibilidad con Apple CarPlay y Android Auto. Nos gusta especialmente el sistema de audio Fender de nueve altavoces y 480 vatios que puede elegir en los acabados superiores, y la pantalla digital de indicadores de 10.3 pulgadas tiene muchas posibilidades de personalización para que pueda configurarla a su gusto. El automóvil en sí no se queda atrás. Es agradable de conducir, con un manejo sensible y la potencia justa para llevarle exactamente adonde quiere ir. Nuevo VW Tiguan Performance Un motor turboalimentado de 2.0 litros y cuatro cilindros en línea con 184 caballos de potencia y 221 libras-pie de torque impulsa al Tiguan 2023, y dispone de transmisiones automáticas de ocho velocidades emparejadas con trenes motrices de tracción delantera y total.

También se incluye una pantalla táctil de infoentretenimiento de 6.5 pulgadas, un sistema de audio con seis altavoces y una pantalla digital de 8.0 pulgadas para el cuadro de instrumentos. El arranque a distancia, el asiento del conductor eléctrico de ocho posiciones y el portón trasero eléctrico son de serie en el Tiguan SE 2023. Su pantalla táctil central se amplía hasta las 8.0 pulgadas de tamaño, se introduce la carga inalámbrica del teléfono y App-Connect, compatible con Apple CarPlay y Android Auto, cambia de conexión por cable a inalámbrica, una comodidad que merece totalmente la pena por la actualización del acabado. Con el nivel superior SEL R-Line, obtendrá una puerta trasera eléctrica manos libres y recibirá de serie retrovisores laterales plegables eléctricamente con luces de charco y una barra de luces en la parrilla delantera. También dispone de asientos delanteros calefactados y volante calefactado. Características de Seguridad de este Nuevo Volkswagen en Venta Las características de seguridad activa del modelo básico Tiguan S comienzan con el frenado automático de emergencia, la vigilancia del ángulo muerto y las alertas de tráfico cruzado trasero. Además, el modelo SE inmediatamente superior incorpora control de crucero adaptativo y un sistema de mantenimiento de carril. El modelo SEL R-Line, el más alto de la gama, cuenta de serie con asistente de aparcamiento semiautónomo, faros adaptativos, un sistema de vídeo de visión aérea de 360 grados, reconocimiento de señales de tráfico y sensores de aparcamiento.

Why the new 2020 Tiguan Stands Out from All Other Compact SUVs

What is the best Compact SUV? Not only is the crossover segment the largest in the US as nearly 1 in every 4 cars sold is a compact crossover, totaling 4.1 million in annual sales in 2019; there are also more compact SUV’s to choose from than any other type of car, 43 different models in fact. Crossovers are popular for a number of reasons. They are comfortable, safe, spacious, and versatile — in other words, the perfect vehicle for a young family, active adults, commuting professional, and retired couples who want just the perfect amount of space. One crossover checks all of the boxes for the best compact SUV in its class is the new Volkswagen Tiguan. Cars.com named the Volkswagen Tiguan as its “Best Compact SUV of 2019”, beating out six other contenders on its way to clinching the coveted award. “The Tiguan returns as champion of the challenge based on the strength of how it drives while giving up nothing in roominess, media, safety tech and cabin comfort for it,” said Cars.com Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Newman. “The Tiguan has become one of our most popular vehicles for our dealership group,” says Jeff Davis, General Manager at Volkswagen Clear Lake and Volkswagen Cypress. “It’s a good size for a growing family, has plenty of horsepower and incredible tech — all at the right price.” Here are a few reasons the new 2020 Tiguan stands out from the crowd: The 2020 Tiguan has Wi-Fi and upgraded safety features What’s new for 2020? According to Volkswagen, all the 2020 Tiguan models will be equipped with Front Assist, Side Assist, and Rear Traffic Alert. These features have become in very high-demand at Volkswagen Clear Lake. “Have you ever been caught off guard while following behind another car and they stop suddenly?” says Davis. “The new 2020 Tiguan will automatically brake and give you a forward-collision alert now. Plus the 2020 Tiguan has blind-spot warning system like the new Atlas and Passat models. We’re really excited about these enhancements and know our customers are going to appreciate them.” In fact, the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan was just recognized as a Top Safety pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Further, the new 2020 Tiguan models will be equipped with the next-generation Car-Net telematics system, as well as in-car Wi-Fi capability. Wireless charging is available, starting on the SE trim. In addition to great safety technology, the Tiguan is also available with Volkswagen’s robust 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making driving in variable conditions not only easier but much safer. These safety features coupled with four different drive modes (including one specifically for driving in extreme rain), the Tiguan is one of the safest places to be. 2020 Tiguan Interior Comfort and Safety Features Tiguan offers excellent versatility, including an optional 3rd row One of the primary ways the Tiguan stands out from the other crossovers in its class is its optional 3rd row, which is very rare for a compact SUV. The 2020 Tiguan has a seating capacity of 7, unlike any of its rivals. The 2020 Tiguan has an optional 3rd row, which is extremely rare for a compact SUV, it also starts at a lower price than the Toyota RAV4 or the Honda CR-V, has more torque, and has a better warranty (4 years/ 50,000 miles), not to mention a seating capacity of 7. Houston drivers will love the new Tiguan because it has been designed specifically for them.“We redesigned the Tiguan from the ground up last year to meet the needs of American drivers and their families,” said Scott Keogh, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. Being designed for young families makes the Tiguan stand out in the crowded field of the crossover segment, especially considering its available third row. Not many crossovers in the compact segment have a third-row option, making their versatility limited for prospective buyers. However, with the optional fold-flat third row and flexible interior (three different folding options for the second row), the Tiguan offers interior space that the competition can’t. Additionally, Cars.com ranks the Tiguan as one of the 13 best cars for child seats, noting ample space and ease of installation make the Tiguan an easy choice for families with small children. 2020 Tiguan re-launches complimentary maintenance and great warranty New this year, Volkswagen is offering two years of complimentary maintenance on all 2020 models. “I have personally been part of many discussions with Volkswagen encouraging them to bring back the Carefree Maintenance program,” says Davis, “so I am very pleased they are bringing it back to our customers starting in 2020!” New 2020 models, including the Tiguan, will come with the two year, 24,000-mile maintenance program which covers regularly scheduled service at no cost. Plus all 2020 Volkswagen models come with a 4 year / 50,000 mile warranty, beating out most of the other crossovers in its class. The 2020 Tiguan has a better warranty than the Subaru Outback, Honda CR-V, Rav4, Mazda CX-5 … the last goes on and on. Tiguan offers comfort and convenience features galore - at lower starting price The Tiguan is perfect for Houston drivers and families because it comes in so many different trim packages, perfectly customizable to different situations and needs. The base “S” trim Tiguan starts at a very reasonable MSRP of $25,000, with dealer discounts at Volkswagen Cypress and Volkswagen Clear Lake bringing it more like $22,000. Above that comes the SE, SE R-Line Black, SEL and SEL Premium R-Line. According to Car and Driver, “Choosing a Tiguan trim is only about features and convenience equipment; they’re all powered by the same 184-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. We suggest stepping up to at least the SE model, which adds a larger 8.0-inch infotainment system, keyless access, and leatherette seats that are heated and powered.” The jump from SE to SEL is a significant one, adding about $5,000, but all the extra features it adds, including adaptive cruise, a panoramic sunroof, remote start, power liftgate, and larger 18-inch wheels, may be worth it to you. Adding all-wheel drive, which is available on any trim, adds roughly $1,500, but makes the third row optional. If you’re in the business of hauling kids, we’d spend the extra $600 to make the Tiguan a seven-seater. The Tiguan SEL model adds upscale features like a heated steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and rain-sensing wipers. The SEL Premium R-Line adds a new heated wiper park, standard R-Line content, and 20-inch wheels. With the features, space, versatility, and warranty, the Tiguan is an exceptional value. If you’re a young family looking for the perfect vehicle to get you started, a professional wanting a great compact SUV to support your lifestyle, or a retired couple wanting the safety features you deserve, then the Volkswagen Tiguan is the obvious choice. Check out the vast inventory of Tiguan SUV’s at our two convenient locations: Volkswagen Clear Lake or Volkswagen Cypress.
