New Volkswagen Tiguan: less expensive and more expensive than Passat

The starting price of the new Volkswagen Tiguan is set at €46,990. This is therefore 2 grand below that of the new Volkswagen Passat.

A Tiguan with a 150 hp 1.5 e-TSI is available from €51,990 and is therefore more expensive than the Passat, although the versions are not the same in that case.
