Body
Body structure
The Tiguan body is based on the Passat body concept
at the front end and in the middle underbody areas.
The Golf concept has been used at the rear.
The structure is a completely new development.
The main focus in the design was placed on comfort
and crash performance without neglecting lightweight
construction. Reaching the objectives for on-road and
off-road use was a challenge.
The high standards reached are reflected in the
excellent static and dynamic stiffness and thus in the
lightweight construction quality.
Lightweight construction quality L = 2.4
(e.g. Golf 2004, L = 2.5)
The lightweight construction quality puts the vehicle
mass in proportion with the vehicle size and stiffness.
Body-chassis connection
The body has been raised so that the Tiguan has SUV
ground clearance. Also the connection points of the
front axle (31mm) and rear axle (41mm) are lower
which moves the body construction up.
In addition, the larger wheels also provide more
ground clearance.
