Volkswagen Is Turning Heads In The SUV Market (PHOTOS)

When it comes to the SUV market, Volkswagen is known for two main options, their compact crossover, the Tiguan, and their midsize Toureg. But, There is about to be a new option on the market, and some in the media are taking notice. Coming soon, crossover and SUV lovers will be able to get a closer look at the Tiguan GTE, which recently made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in January.

The vehicle’s most striking innovation is its efficient plug-in hybrid system that uses two electric motors and a gasoline engine, which can supply all four wheels with power, either automatically or at the push of a button. This concept proves how much potential plug-in hybrid systems have. The all-wheel-drive system’s technology ensures that this SUV can offer supreme off-road performance, even in all-electric mode.  The five-seat concept is based on the completely redeveloped second-generation Tiguan. The GTE Active Concept reflects the great technical versatility of the new SUV, which will arrive to the U.S. market in 2017 with a longer wheelbase and available seven-seat functionality.

According to Volkswagen, “the new Tiguan marks the kickoff of an SUV product offensive that will significantly expand the range of vehicles offered, especially in North America.” It will be available to the public in 2017 along with another model that is expected to be a midsize SUV that is a little smaller than the Toureg.

Below is a collection of photos of the Tiguan GTE:
