Volkswagen Passat Estate is an estate version top 2011 Auto Trends Business Magazine, and has the most spacious rooms among its competitors, but you'll still call it a very practical car. All the qualities that make a great gift and start right, big saloon with large openings, seats fold rear seat that folds flat to easily expand the cargo area, and a number of benefits that can be used for Storage in the cabin. Combined with refined diesel option and certainly very efficient fuel consumption. specifications for a standard car, Volkswagen Passat Wagon all that matters, and the Volkswagen Passat Estate is a popular car.
This car will be wagon 2011 best version of Auto Trends Business Magazine is due to several considerations that have been seen. One of them in terms of direction which is very convenient to operate at high speeds and poor road conditions. Not only that, but passengers are in this Kandare feel comfortable due to the large space that allows passengers comfortable during the trip away.
Not content with this, there are many other advantages for the Volkswagen Passat estate. What is the fuel consumption is not as effective as its competitors, this car has some engine options are used, as well as diesel and gasoline engines, but the power generated is not lost. Price competition in the car is available with various options for the engine capacity is also significantly cheaper.
Up to 18 percent improved fuel economy: As is usual for a Volkswagen, the new Passat also sets standards in sustainability. All ten engines (77 kW / 105 PS through 220 kW / 300 PS) are more fuel efficient - up to 18 percent more. The "smallest" and yet torque-strong turbodiesel (1.6 TDI with 105 PS and 250 Nm) now consumes just 4.2 l/100 km; that is equivalent to 109 g/km CO2. Meanwhile, downsizing and technologies such as the Stop/Start system contribute to extraordinary fuel efficiency in the petrol-powered versions. Pioneering here is the 1.4 TSI (90 kW / 122 PS); in the BlueMotion Technology version, it only consumes 5.8 l/100 km. The equivalent CO2 value is 138 g/km.

2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Review
As more than 680,000 units of VW convertibles built before the new Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet also features a classic soft top - that is, a cloth cover. Why steel mesh and not on the Eos? A look at the new model is indicative of a length of 4,246 mm, the Golf Cabriolet has a much more compact than the Eos 4423 mm long. Both vehicles were completely independent approaches to style, design and performance position.
The top of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet
Although the fabric used on the top of the Volkswagen Golf, a four-seater convertible is one of the quietest. Its soothing quiet ride thanks to the sophisticated design with the fabric roof and new windows, doors and seals. Wind noise at high frequencies above 5000 Hz is seen as a particularly annoying because they make it difficult to discuss the travel (articulation index). Volkswagen has examined the articulation index for an in-depth and evaluated the experiences of other vehicles. Results for: Golf Cabriolet convertible really sets new standards for sound.
The pavilion consists of a link, a headliner through the insulating layer of filling and cover. Perfection in daily practice: the development team designed the joints of the outer longitudinal joints tissues (central and two side panel) to serve as an additional channel. aerodynamic perfection, mounted between the longitudinal reinforcement of the link above for a total of four arches of the roof and across the bow in front is called the ceiling (the first member of the main cross behind the windshield frame). In turn, the bell is attached to the roof bows in the bands of tissue screw. Therefore, even at high speed, soft top is not filled with air. And this has a positive effect on aerodynamics.
When the roof is stored, the upper surface of the front cover of the arch covering the upper surface of the storage box. This eliminates the need for a separate envelope. The results: the highest standard fully automatic opening of electro-hydraulic (9.0 seconds), and the company (11.0 seconds) faster. Moreover, it is necessary to descend so deeply into the greater bootspace (250 liters with the roof up or down).
The summit is operated from a central switch in the center console. Opening and closing is even possible to run - at speeds up to 30 km / h. Two hydraulic pumps operated by a central switch to generate the necessary pressure. Even in this area has received special care to ensure the least possible noise generated, for example, the hydraulic unit is closed by the insulation. Unlocking and locking the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet soft top is secured by a locking electromechanical. It works fully automatically. This means that no further manual opening or closing is necessary. The system detects, by 2 micro-switches, the roof is open or closed, and it informs the driver of the OK state by a beep and a visual message (in the multifunction display).
To ensure a good view behind the car, was the top of the heated rear glass window designed to be particularly important for a cabriolet, it is connected to the hood of what is known as high-frequency welding.
Golf Cabriolet Safety
Rollover protection: Since 1979, when the first Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet was introduced, all generations of the models in this series had a roll bar. Should be, because in the early years of the Golf Cabrio automatic deployment of the protection of bearing systems had not been invented yet. When such systems first emerged in late 1980 that were hardly suitable for affordable car as a Golf Cabriolet. This changed in 2003, when Volkswagen introduced the New Beetle Cabriolet with ROPS can be done from behind the rear seats. The system was modified for the Eos, and - in the final stages of development - now is the protection of the occupants of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet too.
The protection element bearings used in the golf course behind the rear headrests in 0.25 seconds, the vehicle exceeds a preset angle or lateral acceleration. The system consists of two aluminum rolling modules and mobile aluminum is strained by a spring. The internal profile is maintained in its neutral position by a magnetic switch. When activated by the driver airbag in response to an impending rollover, the valve opens a first class maintenance and frees the internal profile. Although stops, sale of excess of gear runway extension fitted to the inner profile and prevents the internal profile of falling.
The highlight of the redesigned system Golf: 2 deployable units are designed for much smoother. For the first time Volkswagen convertible with the introduction of roll-over, it was possible through-loading, with a width of 526 mm and a height of 381 mm, including folding rear seat. At first it was just a pass through this area.
Council of reinforcements: the Golf Cabriolet offers maximum security with its system of protection against overturning, a reinforced windshield frame and many structural changes (bottom panels, side panels, railings, doors). Thanks to its numerous reinforcements, 4.25 meters long, 1.78 m wide (recharge) 1.42 meters Golf Cabriolet also features extreme torsional stiffness. Some of these reinforcements are visible when the convertible will be seen later, such as the Cabrio and a "normal" golf stands on a raised platform. In a visual comparison, the observer can see significant differences in the swing. In front, the convertible has an aluminum hood, with mounting brackets, which increases stiffness. In addition, the motor bracket, which acts as a vibration damper, adds sophistication to the front.
On either side of the car, 2 side reinforcements in the sill area and 2 diagonal front and rear, and common wire reinforced cradle to further increases in stiffness and a significant reduction of the vibration of the body resonance.
This is known as the static torsional stiffness coefficient reaches a value of more than 13,500 Nm per degree, the first torsional resonance frequency is above 17.5 Hz - first class for a convertible. And this rigidity, which is also a crucial factor in the stability and optimum driving comfort is remarkable journey. Meanwhile, the body protects against rust galvanized car.
Convertible airbags Specific protection systems completion Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet reinforcements to the front doors and side airbags and standard head-thorax. The latter is specially designed for a convertible, because it is of course possible to mount the head airbags in the roof surface. head-thorax airbags built into the sides of the issue, so use adjacent to any driver and front passenger height inside the Golf Cabriolet. A knee airbag standard has also been integrated into the driver's side. As part of the seat belt, airbag absorbs the energy of the pelvic region and legs, which leads to reduced occupant load. go further: Thank knee airbag, the driver is built in deceleration mode of the car before using the thigh and pelvis. It triggers the torso rotation precisely, so that the driver's air bag may come in contact with the support and the upper body at an optimum angle.
The knee airbag mode of operation shows the true complexity of the interconnection of security systems.
Styling for the VW Golf Cabriolet
The front end: front view, this convertible is a typical golf course. Although the Cabriolet is an even more sporty from this point of view, because the tapered windshield. In particular, a dynamic picture of the results of Convertible ordered with the optional bi-xenon headlamps. In this case, the set consists of 15 light LED lights automatically integrated into the two apartments.
Rear Smoked LED tail lights were changed to three five-door Golf. Of course, the designers and engineers redesigned the rear thereof. Cabriolet bootlid extends down into the bumper, and a lot of adjustments up, so it's easy to pack your bags and shopping destinations. The stylish chrome trim strip form a visual contrast of soft and bootlid edge, this is a continuous chrome strip extends to the columns.
Side profile: profile page, 3 convertible design features particularly attractive to the eye: more swept back windscreen, visually very quick start and smooth style, included in these lines. When the soft side down, Golf Cabriolet is an elegant, full look. Once until the beginning of a compact design and sharp lines around the imaginary C-pillars and the boot reflect the unique character of the previous model and transfer it to the contemporary age - extends throughout the decade .
By default, leave the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Osnabrück works with a weight-optimized 16-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers attractive and 205 tires. Five different alloy wheels are also available (a 16-inch, three 17-inch, 18 inch).
Indoor Golf Cabriolet
Very clearly - Golf Cabriolet version of the quality of design standards and materials hardtop Golf Classic 1:01 inside. This leads to a refinement, which is otherwise available only in much more expensive convertible. As before, the Eos, Golf Cabriolet differs from many other compact cars in a key aspect of it: windshield frame is pleasantly short, optimizing convertible feeling. In addition, the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet offers the largest internal length of the class. Guests Behind the special message of 833 millimeters in the legs effectively.
Like the design applied in Eos, the activation switch is built in the center console between the driver's and passenger. features redesigned the rear seat and seat cushion materials. Golf Cabriolet also has a convenient Easy Entry front seats as standard, making it easier for rear passengers enter and exit the car.
There is a hand bag hooks in side panels of the shoe of 250 liters, which is located just off the hooks are mechanisms to lock remotely registration division 50:50 folding rear seat. When the folder is folded, thereby increasing the additional storage capacity through the grand opening of pass-through.
The democratization of convertibility
In 1979, Volkswagen had already been opened to drive the democratization of the VW Golf Cabriolet. Paving the way for the democratic movement, thirty years ago, it was Beetle Convertible. New Golf Cabriolet reflect this philosophy. Another aspect of the link to his legendary predecessor, also remove it from the confines of the classroom. Oh, and try to understand the drivers of the bank balance of a man or woman really a waste of time.
Golf Cabriolet Standard Features
When placed on the market in Germany, from the model at a price of € 23,625 (VW Golf Cabriolet 1.2 TSI of 77 kW / 105 hp). It is obviously more than a comparable Golf Trendline fitted with sunroof, but it is much less than most other four-seat convertibles in this class. The price difference compared to the conventional structure "hard top" Golf is due to activation and body reinforcements hood, including the transmission electro-hydraulic system and advanced asset protection against rollover. Thus, the new Golf making it easier to choose to run all year in a convertible. And its portfolio of standard features is long enough already.

sustainable performance is possible
6, direct injection turbo is ideal for a cruise with a convertible. They cover a power range from 77 kW / 105 hp to 155 kW / 210 hp. Also fun is the fuel for fast, efficient transport of high-tech dual-clutch (DSG), which is available with four engines. Gasoline engines (TSI) and two diesel (TDI) will be available for energy-saving BlueMotion technology (regeneration of the battery and start / stop systems.) Illustrating the effectiveness using the new Volkswagen Golf is the fuel Cabriolet 105 hp 1.6 TDI BlueMotion technology: offers a combined fuel consumption of just 4.4 litres/100 km (equal to 117 g / km of CO2).
1.2 TSI of 77 kW / 105 PS
The turbocharged 1.2-liter four-cylinder comply with reductions ITS principle with only 1197 cm3. It offers maximum power with minimum consumption. The Technology package BlueMotion option is available in this version Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. / KW 77 / 105 hp Cabrio accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 11.7 seconds. Top speed is 188 km / h. This contrasts with the fuel economy and emission values, which sets standards for open trucks with gasoline engines: 5.9 l/100 (139 g / km CO2) in the standard version, or 5 , 7 l/100 km and 132 g / km of CO2 BlueMotion technology. The 1.2 TSI outputs its maximum power at 5000 rpm. Its maximum torque of 175 Newton meters available between 1,550 and 4,100 rpm. The 1.2 TSI comes with a manual transmission 6-speed standard.
1.4 TSI 90 kW / 122 PS
The next level of power, the new Golf Cabriolet controls operate effectively 1.4 liter TSI with 90 kW / 122 hp (at 5000 rpm). This engine can be combined with the optional 7-speed kaksoiskytkimellä. Both versions follow this fall. four-cylinder engine develops a maximum torque of 200 Nm between 1500 and 4000 rpm. (All fuel economy and performance data Golf Cabriolet 1.4 TSI with 122 PS values projected in this press release.)
With a combined fuel consumption of 6.4 litres/100 km (equal to 149 g / km of CO2), the turbo engine makes the convertible with a manual transmission for fuel efficient cars in its class power. The TSI of 122 hp can reach a top speed of 197 km / h. This includes the classic Golf Cabriolet 0-100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. Driving performance is the same version DSG, combined fuel consumption is even better than the 6.3 liters per 100 km (147 g / km of CO2).
1.4 TSI with 118 kW / 160 hp
The Twincharger of 118 kW / 160 hp (at 5800 rpm), which is reinforced by both the turbocharger and compressor can also be combined with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. It is also fuel efficient than the small 1.4 TSI. fuel consumption combined with a manual transmission is 6.4 L/100 km (including 150 g / km CO2), and it passes by DSG, fuel consumption is reduced to 6.3 l/100 km (148 g / km CO2). TSI develops a maximum torque of 240 Nm between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm. In both versions of transmission, when the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet with this engine 100 kmh in 8.4 seconds and its top speed is 216 km / h.
2.0 TSI 155 kW / 210 hp
The maximum power, the Golf Cabriolet is to drive 155 kW / 210 PS (at 5300 rpm) TSI. In this case, the engine power increases the front wheels through a 6-speed DSG gearbox is standard. And it does so much fuel, even more power: 100 km to the consumes 7.5 liters (equivalent to 175 g / km CO2), which is directly injected with up to 280 Nm (from 1700 rpm min) high torque engine with 16 valves. However, reaching a top speed of 235 km / h. The Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TSI covers the sprint to 100 km / h in 7.3 seconds. (All information on fuel economy and performance on the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TSI in this press release is expected values, because this version is also in late autumn.)
1.6 TDI 77 kW / 105 hp
TDI input for the program is offered by the pair of 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 77 kW / 105 hp (4400 rpm) and peak of 250 Newton-meters (1500-2500 rpm). Optionally, this version can be equipped with TDI BlueMotion technology (TMO) package (start / stop system and regenerative battery). The combined fuel consumption technology Cabriolet 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Golf is just 4.4 litres/100 km (equal to 117 g / km of CO2). The corresponding values are of 4.8 litres/100 without BMT and 125 g / km of CO2. In each case, the convertible Golf Cabriolet 1.6 TDI is more fuel-efficient Volkswagen ever. Both versions reach 100 km / h speed record at 12.1 seconds and top speed is 188 km / h.
2.0 TDI 103 kW / 140 PS
The most powerful TDI common rail of the Golf Cabriolet is an engine of 1968 cm3 four-cylinder with 103 kW / 140 hp (at 4,200 rpm), which is combined with the TDI BlueMotion technology package as standard. Engine to be introduced this fall will be available with 6-speed DSG option.

For maximum speed DSG version is slightly below 205 km / h. As expected, the combined fuel economy of Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TDI is abnormally low: 4.5 l/100 km with manual transmission, 5.1-liter version of the DSG. CO2 levels are equivalent to 119 g / km and 134 g / km (DSG). (All fuel economy and performance data Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TDI in this press release is projected values, because this version is also in late autumn.)
BlueMotion Technologies in detail
Stop / Start system: the driver approaches a red light, the Volkswagen Golf Cabrio brakes to a stop, the change in neutral and take your foot off the clutch (DSG, simply press the brake pedal). This causes the motor to momentarily cut off. In the multifunction display the text "start (A) Stop." When the light turns green again, the driver presses the clutch (DSG or just press the brake), and the engine starts, the start button (A) Stop the text is cleared, the driver makes a speed and resumes driving. Essentially, the driver had no need for additional operational steps for a conventional car, saving you even up to 0.2 l/100 km in the city by pressing Stop / Start system.
Contrary to vehicles without the system of Stop / Start technology BlueMotion models have an additional battery information form (to obtain the instantaneous state of the battery), the heavy engine starting, the DC / DC converter (ensures voltage stability of power system the vehicle) and durability of a deep cycle battery with fiberglass mat board.
battery regeneration: regeneration can use the energy expended in the direction that the ideal as possible. During inertia and braking phases of Golf Cabriolet - that is, when the driver releases the accelerator pedal or the brakes - the system increases the voltage of the alternator (generator), and this electricity is used to bulk load the vehicle battery. Thanks to the control of the alternator according to the efficiency of the engine and the battery charged for optimum results, the alternator voltage can be reduced whenever it's convenient - such as when accelerating or permanently to maintain the desired speed. The generator, you can even cut altogether. This relieves the load on the engine, reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the battery - always ideally positions - provides vehicle electrical system with enough power during the engine stop (eg traffic lights).
regeneration of the battery requires special software for energy management and editing software for motor control.
6-speed and 7 speed
Outside of the TSI and TDI 77 kW / 105 hp, all other drivers of the new Golf Cabriolet are combined with a dual-clutch transmission (DSG). It is either a 6-speed DSG or 7-speed, depending on engine torque. Both versions are characterized by DSG maximum economy and the changing dynamics, which has never been done on this scale before. In addition to having a different number of forward gears, a second way of DSG systems vary technically their mating types. While the two dry clutches used in the 7-speed DSG gearbox, dual clutch 6-speed DSG runs wet in a bath of oil. Applies to both transmission: even the most experienced professional drivers are not changed in nearly the speed DSG versions. More than any other automatically, have the gearbox with double clutch the potential to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, therefore. Compared to an automatic torque converter, the efficiencies of fuel to be as much as 20 percent, depending on the engine.
History in the first Gulf cabriolet
Here's something that nobody knows: the first "Generation I" prototype VW Golf Cabriolet - the new Golf Cabriolet - had not fixed roll bars is sufficient reason for a brief historical overview and examine more closely the first prototype. 1970. chaise was created Karmann in Osnabrück. Today, plants owned by Volkswagen. So, like all previous generations, the new Golf Cabriolet again be manufactured in Osnabrück.
Leap back in time: Golf has been a fantastic start in 1974 and 1976 has been extended to model the composition of the GTI, which later became a legendary and revolutionary diesel model. That same year, it became clear that the Golf would be a storm the last bastion of the Beetle - like the convertible version. "As soon as it emerged Golf, Volkswagen Karmann has begun negotiations with some countries developing prototype cabriolet. At the same time, Volkswagen has started the research work," says Anton Konrad, who was director of public relations for Volkswagen that time. Cabriolet is based on a compact? Although part of a four-seater cabriolet was as good as dead in Europe since the year 1960? This was not really a dangerous gamble, but it was a logical step, according to Klaus Bischoff, Director of Planning Volkswagen today: "Only the best cars that stand out are the masses of possible candidates for convertibles.
And that's why I Golf - at that time the most expressive Volkswagen - had the power to breathe new life into the segment. "
In December 1976 the first prototype was created Karmann, is designed for this purpose. White Cabriolet was angled bootlid and the sedan, its cornerstone was famous for the C-pillar crease wrote Giorgio Giugiaro, designer of the first Golf. . Unlike the Beetle Cabriolet, the windshield and the triangular window, even the base model here, finally, the convertible golf had to be sold at an affordable price, "says Rüdiger Folten, member of the Volkswagen design team since 1973 without a roof sure, the prototype A1C. - Codename interior of the car - displayed all the key features of the Golf.
Mechanical design of the top of the stack much more solidly a short rear - but the price is justifiable only prototypes. This is due to a large glass rear window is mounted along the bottom, hinges and simply folds inside when the roof is low. back side windows can be lowered completely, and cut a very fine chrome surround their elbow when it is completely up. Yet all these elements are only half of the Member to the function, which then gave the production model of its nickname: "handle" is the "basket of strawberries" is missing.
So how has hoop make its way into the production model later? Konrad Anton gives the answer: ".. At the time, the safety of vehicles on a leading Volkswagen Our development manager at the time, Professor Ernst Fiala, later became known as" Pope security ", he insisted that the bar is installed and partly with an eye toward future legislation in the United States."
Of course, without stabilizer bar prototype has an interesting secret hidden behind the rear trim panels are strong threaded connections for mounting a cage, since the beginning of the tests were conducted in both versions, and end with a modified version an arc prevailed. When the first models emerged from the assembly line in Osnabruck in June 1979, the convertible looked like it was thrown into a single mold: he had a roof design with smooth yet developed fabric layer 5 lined up, a appeal on its surface good back, and offered a lot of fun with a size of 4 outdoor seating at an affordable price. At the same time, has continued to build Karmann Beetle about 6 months. This is because when the news of his imminent demise was a time, there was a significant increase in orders. "The community Beetle even met in a funeral procession in Wolfsburg," says Anton Konrad.
He sent a hot dog stand at the demonstrators at the place of safety facilities, and invited the spokesperson for the Friends test drive a Beetle in the Volkswagen Golf Cabrio. In a nutshell: "I was surprised at how much more advanced technically, was his beloved Beetle.
The rest is history: the Golf Cabriolet has been a success worldwide, with total sales of 388,522. And when he was replaced by the Golf Cabrio III (1993), discussions on the stabilizer bar has adopted a new tone. The fact is that the "handful" had long since gone from being a nuisance to an aesthetic style - and the open bar prototype-roll remains on the drawing board. Until March 1, 2011. It was then presented the new Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet at the Geneva Motor Show - no safety bar automatic deployment modules bearing protection. And if you want, ennobled the prototype of the first prototype VW Golf Cabrio age 35.
The top of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet
Although the fabric used on the top of the Volkswagen Golf, a four-seater convertible is one of the quietest. Its soothing quiet ride thanks to the sophisticated design with the fabric roof and new windows, doors and seals. Wind noise at high frequencies above 5000 Hz is seen as a particularly annoying because they make it difficult to discuss the travel (articulation index). Volkswagen has examined the articulation index for an in-depth and evaluated the experiences of other vehicles. Results for: Golf Cabriolet convertible really sets new standards for sound.
The pavilion consists of a link, a headliner through the insulating layer of filling and cover. Perfection in daily practice: the development team designed the joints of the outer longitudinal joints tissues (central and two side panel) to serve as an additional channel. aerodynamic perfection, mounted between the longitudinal reinforcement of the link above for a total of four arches of the roof and across the bow in front is called the ceiling (the first member of the main cross behind the windshield frame). In turn, the bell is attached to the roof bows in the bands of tissue screw. Therefore, even at high speed, soft top is not filled with air. And this has a positive effect on aerodynamics.
When the roof is stored, the upper surface of the front cover of the arch covering the upper surface of the storage box. This eliminates the need for a separate envelope. The results: the highest standard fully automatic opening of electro-hydraulic (9.0 seconds), and the company (11.0 seconds) faster. Moreover, it is necessary to descend so deeply into the greater bootspace (250 liters with the roof up or down).
The summit is operated from a central switch in the center console. Opening and closing is even possible to run - at speeds up to 30 km / h. Two hydraulic pumps operated by a central switch to generate the necessary pressure. Even in this area has received special care to ensure the least possible noise generated, for example, the hydraulic unit is closed by the insulation. Unlocking and locking the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet soft top is secured by a locking electromechanical. It works fully automatically. This means that no further manual opening or closing is necessary. The system detects, by 2 micro-switches, the roof is open or closed, and it informs the driver of the OK state by a beep and a visual message (in the multifunction display).
To ensure a good view behind the car, was the top of the heated rear glass window designed to be particularly important for a cabriolet, it is connected to the hood of what is known as high-frequency welding.
Golf Cabriolet Safety
Rollover protection: Since 1979, when the first Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet was introduced, all generations of the models in this series had a roll bar. Should be, because in the early years of the Golf Cabrio automatic deployment of the protection of bearing systems had not been invented yet. When such systems first emerged in late 1980 that were hardly suitable for affordable car as a Golf Cabriolet. This changed in 2003, when Volkswagen introduced the New Beetle Cabriolet with ROPS can be done from behind the rear seats. The system was modified for the Eos, and - in the final stages of development - now is the protection of the occupants of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet too.
The protection element bearings used in the golf course behind the rear headrests in 0.25 seconds, the vehicle exceeds a preset angle or lateral acceleration. The system consists of two aluminum rolling modules and mobile aluminum is strained by a spring. The internal profile is maintained in its neutral position by a magnetic switch. When activated by the driver airbag in response to an impending rollover, the valve opens a first class maintenance and frees the internal profile. Although stops, sale of excess of gear runway extension fitted to the inner profile and prevents the internal profile of falling.
The highlight of the redesigned system Golf: 2 deployable units are designed for much smoother. For the first time Volkswagen convertible with the introduction of roll-over, it was possible through-loading, with a width of 526 mm and a height of 381 mm, including folding rear seat. At first it was just a pass through this area.
Council of reinforcements: the Golf Cabriolet offers maximum security with its system of protection against overturning, a reinforced windshield frame and many structural changes (bottom panels, side panels, railings, doors). Thanks to its numerous reinforcements, 4.25 meters long, 1.78 m wide (recharge) 1.42 meters Golf Cabriolet also features extreme torsional stiffness. Some of these reinforcements are visible when the convertible will be seen later, such as the Cabrio and a "normal" golf stands on a raised platform. In a visual comparison, the observer can see significant differences in the swing. In front, the convertible has an aluminum hood, with mounting brackets, which increases stiffness. In addition, the motor bracket, which acts as a vibration damper, adds sophistication to the front.
On either side of the car, 2 side reinforcements in the sill area and 2 diagonal front and rear, and common wire reinforced cradle to further increases in stiffness and a significant reduction of the vibration of the body resonance.
This is known as the static torsional stiffness coefficient reaches a value of more than 13,500 Nm per degree, the first torsional resonance frequency is above 17.5 Hz - first class for a convertible. And this rigidity, which is also a crucial factor in the stability and optimum driving comfort is remarkable journey. Meanwhile, the body protects against rust galvanized car.
Convertible airbags Specific protection systems completion Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet reinforcements to the front doors and side airbags and standard head-thorax. The latter is specially designed for a convertible, because it is of course possible to mount the head airbags in the roof surface. head-thorax airbags built into the sides of the issue, so use adjacent to any driver and front passenger height inside the Golf Cabriolet. A knee airbag standard has also been integrated into the driver's side. As part of the seat belt, airbag absorbs the energy of the pelvic region and legs, which leads to reduced occupant load. go further: Thank knee airbag, the driver is built in deceleration mode of the car before using the thigh and pelvis. It triggers the torso rotation precisely, so that the driver's air bag may come in contact with the support and the upper body at an optimum angle.
The knee airbag mode of operation shows the true complexity of the interconnection of security systems.
Styling for the VW Golf Cabriolet
The front end: front view, this convertible is a typical golf course. Although the Cabriolet is an even more sporty from this point of view, because the tapered windshield. In particular, a dynamic picture of the results of Convertible ordered with the optional bi-xenon headlamps. In this case, the set consists of 15 light LED lights automatically integrated into the two apartments.
Rear Smoked LED tail lights were changed to three five-door Golf. Of course, the designers and engineers redesigned the rear thereof. Cabriolet bootlid extends down into the bumper, and a lot of adjustments up, so it's easy to pack your bags and shopping destinations. The stylish chrome trim strip form a visual contrast of soft and bootlid edge, this is a continuous chrome strip extends to the columns.
Side profile: profile page, 3 convertible design features particularly attractive to the eye: more swept back windscreen, visually very quick start and smooth style, included in these lines. When the soft side down, Golf Cabriolet is an elegant, full look. Once until the beginning of a compact design and sharp lines around the imaginary C-pillars and the boot reflect the unique character of the previous model and transfer it to the contemporary age - extends throughout the decade .
By default, leave the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Osnabrück works with a weight-optimized 16-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers attractive and 205 tires. Five different alloy wheels are also available (a 16-inch, three 17-inch, 18 inch).
Indoor Golf Cabriolet
Very clearly - Golf Cabriolet version of the quality of design standards and materials hardtop Golf Classic 1:01 inside. This leads to a refinement, which is otherwise available only in much more expensive convertible. As before, the Eos, Golf Cabriolet differs from many other compact cars in a key aspect of it: windshield frame is pleasantly short, optimizing convertible feeling. In addition, the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet offers the largest internal length of the class. Guests Behind the special message of 833 millimeters in the legs effectively.
Like the design applied in Eos, the activation switch is built in the center console between the driver's and passenger. features redesigned the rear seat and seat cushion materials. Golf Cabriolet also has a convenient Easy Entry front seats as standard, making it easier for rear passengers enter and exit the car.
There is a hand bag hooks in side panels of the shoe of 250 liters, which is located just off the hooks are mechanisms to lock remotely registration division 50:50 folding rear seat. When the folder is folded, thereby increasing the additional storage capacity through the grand opening of pass-through.
The democratization of convertibility
In 1979, Volkswagen had already been opened to drive the democratization of the VW Golf Cabriolet. Paving the way for the democratic movement, thirty years ago, it was Beetle Convertible. New Golf Cabriolet reflect this philosophy. Another aspect of the link to his legendary predecessor, also remove it from the confines of the classroom. Oh, and try to understand the drivers of the bank balance of a man or woman really a waste of time.
Golf Cabriolet Standard Features
When placed on the market in Germany, from the model at a price of € 23,625 (VW Golf Cabriolet 1.2 TSI of 77 kW / 105 hp).

sustainable performance is possible
6, direct injection turbo is ideal for a cruise with a convertible. They cover a power range from 77 kW / 105 hp to 155 kW / 210 hp. Also fun is the fuel for fast, efficient transport of high-tech dual-clutch (DSG), which is available with four engines. Gasoline engines (TSI) and two diesel (TDI) will be available for energy-saving BlueMotion technology (regeneration of the battery and start / stop systems.) Illustrating the effectiveness using the new Volkswagen Golf is the fuel Cabriolet 105 hp 1.6 TDI BlueMotion technology: offers a combined fuel consumption of just 4.4 litres/100 km (equal to 117 g / km of CO2).
1.2 TSI of 77 kW / 105 PS
The turbocharged 1.2-liter four-cylinder comply with reductions ITS principle with only 1197 cm3. It offers maximum power with minimum consumption. The Technology package BlueMotion option is available in this version Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. / KW 77 / 105 hp Cabrio accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 11.7 seconds. Top speed is 188 km / h. This contrasts with the fuel economy and emission values, which sets standards for open trucks with gasoline engines: 5.9 l/100 (139 g / km CO2) in the standard version, or 5 , 7 l/100 km and 132 g / km of CO2 BlueMotion technology. The 1.2 TSI outputs its maximum power at 5000 rpm. Its maximum torque of 175 Newton meters available between 1,550 and 4,100 rpm. The 1.2 TSI comes with a manual transmission 6-speed standard.
1.4 TSI 90 kW / 122 PS
The next level of power, the new Golf Cabriolet controls operate effectively 1.4 liter TSI with 90 kW / 122 hp (at 5000 rpm). This engine can be combined with the optional 7-speed kaksoiskytkimellä. Both versions follow this fall. four-cylinder engine develops a maximum torque of 200 Nm between 1500 and 4000 rpm. (All fuel economy and performance data Golf Cabriolet 1.4 TSI with 122 PS values projected in this press release.)
With a combined fuel consumption of 6.4 litres/100 km (equal to 149 g / km of CO2), the turbo engine makes the convertible with a manual transmission for fuel efficient cars in its class power. The TSI of 122 hp can reach a top speed of 197 km / h. This includes the classic Golf Cabriolet 0-100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. Driving performance is the same version DSG, combined fuel consumption is even better than the 6.3 liters per 100 km (147 g / km of CO2).
1.4 TSI with 118 kW / 160 hp
The Twincharger of 118 kW / 160 hp (at 5800 rpm), which is reinforced by both the turbocharger and compressor can also be combined with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. It is also fuel efficient than the small 1.4 TSI. fuel consumption combined with a manual transmission is 6.4 L/100 km (including 150 g / km CO2), and it passes by DSG, fuel consumption is reduced to 6.3 l/100 km (148 g / km CO2).

As expected, the combined fuel economy of Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TDI is abnormally low: 4.5 l/100 km with manual transmission, 5.1-liter version of the DSG. CO2 levels are equivalent to 119 g / km and 134 g / km (DSG). (All fuel economy and performance data Golf Cabriolet 2.0 TDI in this press release is projected values, because this version is also in late autumn.)
BlueMotion Technologies in detail
Stop / Start system: the driver approaches a red light, the Volkswagen Golf Cabrio brakes to a stop, the change in neutral and take your foot off the clutch (DSG, simply press the brake pedal). This causes the motor to momentarily cut off. In the multifunction display the text "start (A) Stop." When the light turns green again, the driver presses the clutch (DSG or just press the brake), and the engine starts, the start button (A) Stop the text is cleared, the driver makes a speed and resumes driving. Essentially, the driver had no need for additional operational steps for a conventional car, saving you even up to 0.2 l/100 km in the city by pressing Stop / Start system.
Contrary to vehicles without the system of Stop / Start technology BlueMotion models have an additional battery information form (to obtain the instantaneous state of the battery), the heavy engine starting, the DC / DC converter (ensures voltage stability of power system the vehicle) and durability of a deep cycle battery with fiberglass mat board.
battery regeneration: regeneration can use the energy expended in the direction that the ideal as possible. During inertia and braking phases of Golf Cabriolet - that is, when the driver releases the accelerator pedal or the brakes - the system increases the voltage of the alternator (generator), and this electricity is used to bulk load the vehicle battery. Thanks to the control of the alternator according to the efficiency of the engine and the battery charged for optimum results, the alternator voltage can be reduced whenever it's convenient - such as when accelerating or permanently to maintain the desired speed. The generator, you can even cut altogether. This relieves the load on the engine, reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the battery - always ideally positions - provides vehicle electrical system with enough power during the engine stop (eg traffic lights).
regeneration of the battery requires special software for energy management and editing software for motor control.
6-speed and 7 speed
Outside of the TSI and TDI 77 kW / 105 hp, all other drivers of the new Golf Cabriolet are combined with a dual-clutch transmission (DSG). It is either a 6-speed DSG or 7-speed, depending on engine torque. Both versions are characterized by DSG maximum economy and the changing dynamics, which has never been done on this scale before. In addition to having a different number of forward gears, a second way of DSG systems vary technically their mating types. While the two dry clutches used in the 7-speed DSG gearbox, dual clutch 6-speed DSG runs wet in a bath of oil. Applies to both transmission: even the most experienced professional drivers are not changed in nearly the speed DSG versions. More than any other automatically, have the gearbox with double clutch the potential to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, therefore. Compared to an automatic torque converter, the efficiencies of fuel to be as much as 20 percent, depending on the engine.
History in the first Gulf cabriolet
Here's something that nobody knows: the first "Generation I" prototype VW Golf Cabriolet - the new Golf Cabriolet - had not fixed roll bars is sufficient reason for a brief historical overview and examine more closely the first prototype. 1970. chaise was created Karmann in Osnabrück. Today, plants owned by Volkswagen. So, like all previous generations, the new Golf Cabriolet again be manufactured in Osnabrück.
Leap back in time: Golf has been a fantastic start in 1974 and 1976 has been extended to model the composition of the GTI, which later became a legendary and revolutionary diesel model. That same year, it became clear that the Golf would be a storm the last bastion of the Beetle - like the convertible version. "As soon as it emerged Golf, Volkswagen Karmann has begun negotiations with some countries developing prototype cabriolet. At the same time, Volkswagen has started the research work," says Anton Konrad, who was director of public relations for Volkswagen that time. Cabriolet is based on a compact? Although part of a four-seater cabriolet was as good as dead in Europe since the year 1960? This was not really a dangerous gamble, but it was a logical step, according to Klaus Bischoff, Director of Planning Volkswagen today: "Only the best cars that stand out are the masses of possible candidates for convertibles.
And that's why I Golf - at that time the most expressive Volkswagen - had the power to breathe new life into the segment. "
In December 1976 the first prototype was created Karmann, is designed for this purpose. White Cabriolet was angled bootlid and the sedan, its cornerstone was famous for the C-pillar crease wrote Giorgio Giugiaro, designer of the first Golf. . Unlike the Beetle Cabriolet, the windshield and the triangular window, even the base model here, finally, the convertible golf had to be sold at an affordable price, "says Rüdiger Folten, member of the Volkswagen design team since 1973 without a roof sure, the prototype A1C. - Codename interior of the car - displayed all the key features of the Golf.
Mechanical design of the top of the stack much more solidly a short rear - but the price is justifiable only prototypes. This is due to a large glass rear window is mounted along the bottom, hinges and simply folds inside when the roof is low. back side windows can be lowered completely, and cut a very fine chrome surround their elbow when it is completely up. Yet all these elements are only half of the Member to the function, which then gave the production model of its nickname: "handle" is the "basket of strawberries" is missing.
So how has hoop make its way into the production model later? Konrad Anton gives the answer: ".. At the time, the safety of vehicles on a leading Volkswagen Our development manager at the time, Professor Ernst Fiala, later became known as" Pope security ", he insisted that the bar is installed and partly with an eye toward future legislation in the United States."
Of course, without stabilizer bar prototype has an interesting secret hidden behind the rear trim panels are strong threaded connections for mounting a cage, since the beginning of the tests were conducted in both versions, and end with a modified version an arc prevailed. When the first models emerged from the assembly line in Osnabruck in June 1979, the convertible looked like it was thrown into a single mold: he had a roof design with smooth yet developed fabric layer 5 lined up, a appeal on its surface good back, and offered a lot of fun with a size of 4 outdoor seating at an affordable price. At the same time, has continued to build Karmann Beetle about 6 months. This is because when the news of his imminent demise was a time, there was a significant increase in orders. "The community Beetle even met in a funeral procession in Wolfsburg," says Anton Konrad.
He sent a hot dog stand at the demonstrators at the place of safety facilities, and invited the spokesperson for the Friends test drive a Beetle in the Volkswagen Golf Cabrio. In a nutshell: "I was surprised at how much more advanced technically, was his beloved Beetle.
The rest is history: the Golf Cabriolet has been a success worldwide, with total sales of 388,522. And when he was replaced by the Golf Cabrio III (1993), discussions on the stabilizer bar has adopted a new tone.

I saw this Volkswagen, such as TDI, was also able to break the 5.5-liter with a significant barrier to 5.3 l/100 km fuel economy.
The best-seller right from the start
The new Tiguan replaces a model that has been extraordinarily successful in Germany, after its market launch in 2007, Volkswagen Tiguan sprint the rest to become the SUV market. And he never abandoned this position: Although the launch of the new Tiguan was announced by Volkswagen in February 2011, the "old" model continues to rank first in new car registrations for all SUVs in Germany. Even more impressive, until shortly before production ceased was the fourth best selling car after the Golf, Polo and Passat. Very few cars - anywhere in the world - the experience of such a successful end!
SUV on all continents
Internationally, the VW Tiguan has long been one of the most popular Volkswagen as well. The highest number of markets are Europe, Russia, United States, China, Brazil and Australia. In Germany, the average market share of the compact SUV segment was approximately 21 per cent in 2010, when it was 12 percent across Europe. A total of almost 700 000 Tiguans have been distributed worldwide in autumn 2007. The younger brother of the Touareg is now ready to continue this success with a new look and new technologies.
Exterior
Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most successful cars of its kind. As the first bestseller in fall 2007, almost 700,000 units delivered across five continents. The main reasons for the SUV became a worldwide success has been its technical features and great economy. Meanwhile, Volkswagen has strongly marked by its distinctive design, timeless and attractive. However, Volkswagen has developed lines of the Tiguan - which is always a four-door model. In particular, the front and rear sections redrawn to reflect the new design DNA of Volkswagen.
Like its predecessor, the new Volkswagen Tiguan once again available in two versions of the body with different approaches. While the classic version that was with an angle of 18 degrees, designed more for urban challenges and the skills of a towing vehicle, the Tiguan with the widest angle of 28 degrees of approach is ideal for those that often lead Volkswagen in their difficult terrain.
Because their interfaces are different, both versions have different lengths: the Volkswagen Tiguan measures 18 degrees prior to 4426 mm, while its counterpart in one of the measures by 4433 mm 28 degrees. However, they are identical in width (1809 mm and 2041 mm, without mirrors) and height (1686 mm without roof rails, 1703 mm with roof rails). So are its identical wheelbase (2604 mm) and wide track (1569 mm front, rear 1571 mm).
Styling of the new Tiguan
The new style that differentiates the two body styles than before. However, both versions of VW Tiguan have adopted the "design DNA" of Volkswagen is characterized by a predominance of horizontal lines clear. As the largest of the Touareg, the network is upgraded with two twin chrome strips. Especially distinctive are the Bi-Xenon headlights with optional hidden beam (Dynamic Light Assist), the standard version the day of xenon are formed by a strip of 14 LED lights embedded in the.
18 degrees:. Volkswagen is a sports car on the road in both versions of "Trend & Fun" (basic version) and "Sport & Style" Beneath the painted bumper side surface, the "urban" features a wide screen interface in the center and two small openings in the sides and front fog lights incorporated. A robust black front spoiler finishes the bottom. The front overhang angle is 18 degrees above. With 90 kW / 122 PS (TSI) and kW 81 / 110 hp (TDI), the Tiguan is built as a front-wheel drive.
28 degrees: a powerful off-road version "Track & Field" in-line equipment (base model), which is familiar and its predecessor, the new top version for the first time. "Track & Style" When 'angle of attack of 28 degrees, the Volkswagen Tiguan will be able to face even greater challenges in off-road. Under the revised robust bumper, the beginning of the protection being of transmission components. Visually, the central air intake is designed to support very flat underbody protection. Again, the buffer is bounded by protected, integrated fog lamps on each side of an SUV. Gray same underbody protection, which has three separate openings, is shaped on both sides of blacks and guides the air flow. off-road versions of the Tiguan is always with permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive wheels.
back
One of the characteristics which means that all new Volkswagen cars have a distinctive tail lights. This also applies to the revised two-part tail lights and the Tiguan. Inside, the lights now reflects the look of the rear lights of the Touareg with double section "L". Lower limit of the rear lights are now constantly followed by a horizontal line, creates a new design even cleaner in the C-pillars, which gives the whole back of the emergence of a higher quality.
Behind all versions of the Tiguan is a departure angle of 25 degrees. This angle is of course possible to reduce the payload of the car (the same applies to the approach towards the front).
Side profile
A clear and powerful design dominates lateral profile of the SUV. The design here is real but modest wheel arches filled, a window line that rises towards the rear, the door surfaces and distinctive wing, and - as typical Volkswagen - Single C-pillars. Every detail here follows a logic of form that unites the whole. A new set of wheels visually separates Volkswagen Tiguan from the previous model. In Germany, the "Track & Field" on "Trend & Fun" and the versions are equipped with alloy wheels of 16 inches ("Portland" type) as standard, the Tiguan Sport & Style "and" Track & line Style leaving equipment on the factory alloy wheels 17 "(" Philadelphia "type).
In side profile, the Sport & Style "and" Track & Style version differ from the basic models of chrome side rubbing strips. All models share the ramp angle of 20 degrees and 200 mm height from the ground - in the top versions - anodized roof railing.
Passive safety VW Tiguan
Tiguan previous model reached a maximum of five stars in crash tests, the test EuroNCAP European Consumers 'Association' (New Car Assessment Programme). American IIHC (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), was also named SUV of its Top Safety Pick, the evaluation will assess the measures detailed in the areas of active and passive safety. The new version of the Tiguan is certainly one of the safest cars in the same way. His confidence was built on a solid basis of a rigid passenger cell, deformation zones and restraint systems that are tuned to them.
Restraints
Volkswagen Tiguan comes with 5 pillows that can adjust very high (the distance of the head is also adjustable front seats "...& Style "), 2 front airbags, 2 side airbags (front) and 2 head thorax airbags /, while the second covers the entire surface of side windows. Volkswagen may also be ordered with two rear side airbags optional. It is always possible to disable the front airbag if a small child traveling in a rear-facing seat. Status of this bag is indicated to the driver of an indicator. Standard Isofix mounting points in places the rear seats complete protection for children.
Integrated front and rear outboard, the belt force limiters to reduce the burdens chest. Seat belt pretensioners for front seats, which are electrically ignited by a central control module in a crash of sufficient severity to ensure that the resettlement of residents are coordinated with the deceleration of the vehicle at the beginning. Together with rear side airbags, the security option includes pretensioners rear seat belts on outer rear seats block. The systems are connected to each other: air system bag deployment, for example, between all relevant control modules, ensure that the flashers are activated, all doors are locked, the inner light and the fuel pump is disabled in an accident.
Interior
A key success factors of the Tiguan is the versatility, sophisticated design and user-friendly interior. This may seem obvious, but it is not. All user controls and systems to enable their duties without delay. A user guide? He is one. But it is rarely necessary. The seat design is so convenient. Volkswagen Tiguan customers appreciate the high, upright seating in front and behind. Another impressive feature is that the 60/40 split rear seat with adjustable backrest in either direction and tilted up to 16 cm. Cargo capacity ranges from 470 to 1,510 liters, depending on the configuration of the rear seat. In addition, the front passenger seat fold in the equipment versions "Sport & Style" and "Track & Style, which allows customers to store items up to 2.5 meters in length.
Within the base versions of the Tiguan, 2011, the new seat covers "Pakat" are catchy design. Glasses around the vents are now in "Dark rhodium." Meanwhile, the top models are identified by details such as decorative strip doors "metallic silver" and the fabric seat covers and Alcantara new ("Milan" style). Volkswagen Tiguan range of standard features have also been greatly expanded. For example, standard on the Tiguan Sport & Style "(and the Tiguan Track & Style") now includes the detection of fatigue, rain sensor, automatic dimming rearview mirror and the RCD 310 audio system with 8 speakers (see "lines of equipment and characteristics" for details).
Cabin
The instruments are sophisticated - both visually and to touch - and optimally arranged, all orders are where one would expect intuitively. Consider the dashboard: Located at the summit - an optimal integration in the visual field of the driver and front passenger - is the audio or audio-navigation. Buyers can choose between radio systems CD RCD-210 (standard "Trend & Fun" and "Track & Field"), RCD 310 (standard "...& Style "), RCD 510, RNS 310 with Navigation is an extension of the RCD 310 or RNS 510 radio navigation system with DVD. Two vents are located to the left of the audio system and two on the right. Displayed on the lower level are the controls for the air-conditioning as standard.
The front seats
The VW Tiguan seating system is available in two different configurations. Even in the "Trend & Fun" and versions "Track & Field, the SUV comes with seats that offer height adjustment and lumbar support. As mentioned, the "Sport & Style" and the lines of "Track & Style" The facility has more positioning. In this sense, the sport seats are used, and there is a storage drawer under each front seat. The seat of the passenger seat also folds completely forward.
The rear seats
The rear 60/40 is slightly high compared with the two front seats, rear seat center section can be folded so that it can be used as an armrest, cup holders, table or load via password. Regardless of this function, the seat back angle can be adjusted in a range of 23 degrees. The seats can be adjusted in a longitudinal field of 16 cm.
Bootspace

New Engine 3 TSI 118 kW / 160 PS, 132 kW / 180 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS - they all bring 10 PS at the helm than the previous model, without increasing the overall fuel consumption.
The three diesel engines (TDI) to develop 81 kW / 110 PS, 103 kW / 140 PS and 125 kW / 170 hp. All Tiguan with BlueMotion technology (BMT) also have a start / stop system. The values of fuel consumption of SUVs have fallen to 0.3 l/100 km.

Results: Although all-wheel drive, 103 kW / 140 PS 4Motion Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Technology, for example, consumes just 5.8 liters per 100 km! Clearly, this is one of Volkswagen's SUV fuel in the world. As before, the engines are offered entry-level front-wheel drive. E 140 PS TDI is available with front drive option. I saw this Volkswagen, such as TDI, was also able to break the 5.5-liter with a significant barrier to 5.3 l/100 km fuel economy.
The best-seller right from the start
The new Tiguan replaces a model that has been extraordinarily successful in Germany, after its market launch in 2007, Volkswagen Tiguan sprint the rest to become the SUV market. And he never abandoned this position: Although the launch of the new Tiguan was announced by Volkswagen in February 2011, the "old" model continues to rank first in new car registrations for all SUVs in Germany. Even more impressive, until shortly before production ceased was the fourth best selling car after the Golf, Polo and Passat. Very few cars - anywhere in the world - the experience of such a successful end!
SUV on all continents
Internationally, the VW Tiguan has long been one of the most popular Volkswagen as well. The highest number of markets are Europe, Russia, United States, China, Brazil and Australia. In Germany, the average market share of the compact SUV segment was approximately 21 per cent in 2010, when it was 12 percent across Europe. A total of almost 700 000 Tiguans have been distributed worldwide in autumn 2007. The younger brother of the Touareg is now ready to continue this success with a new look and new technologies.
Exterior
Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most successful cars of its kind. As the first bestseller in fall 2007, almost 700,000 units delivered across five continents. The main reasons for the SUV became a worldwide success has been its technical features and great economy. Meanwhile, Volkswagen has strongly marked by its distinctive design, timeless and attractive. However, Volkswagen has developed lines of the Tiguan - which is always a four-door model. In particular, the front and rear sections redrawn to reflect the new design DNA of Volkswagen.
Like its predecessor, the new Volkswagen Tiguan once again available in two versions of the body with different approaches. While the classic version that was with an angle of 18 degrees, designed more for urban challenges and the skills of a towing vehicle, the Tiguan with the widest angle of 28 degrees of approach is ideal for those that often lead Volkswagen in their difficult terrain.
Because their interfaces are different, both versions have different lengths: the Volkswagen Tiguan measures 18 degrees prior to 4426 mm, while its counterpart in one of the measures by 4433 mm 28 degrees. However, they are identical in width (1809 mm and 2041 mm, without mirrors) and height (1686 mm without roof rails, 1703 mm with roof rails). So are its identical wheelbase (2604 mm) and wide track (1569 mm front, rear 1571 mm).
Styling of the new Tiguan
The new style that differentiates the two body styles than before. However, both versions of VW Tiguan have adopted the "design DNA" of Volkswagen is characterized by a predominance of horizontal lines clear. As the largest of the Touareg, the network is upgraded with two twin chrome strips. Especially distinctive are the Bi-Xenon headlights with optional hidden beam (Dynamic Light Assist), the standard version the day of xenon are formed by a strip of 14 LED lights embedded in the.
18 degrees:. Volkswagen is a sports car on the road in both versions of "Trend & Fun" (basic version) and "Sport & Style" Beneath the painted bumper side surface, the "urban" features a wide screen interface in the center and two small openings in the sides and front fog lights incorporated. A robust black front spoiler finishes the bottom. The front overhang angle is 18 degrees above. With 90 kW / 122 PS (TSI) and kW 81 / 110 hp (TDI), the Tiguan is built as a front-wheel drive.
28 degrees: a powerful off-road version "Track & Field" in-line equipment (base model), which is familiar and its predecessor, the new top version for the first time. "Track & Style" When 'angle of attack of 28 degrees, the Volkswagen Tiguan will be able to face even greater challenges in off-road. Under the revised robust bumper, the beginning of the protection being of transmission components. Visually, the central air intake is designed to support very flat underbody protection. Again, the buffer is bounded by protected, integrated fog lamps on each side of an SUV. Gray same underbody protection, which has three separate openings, is shaped on both sides of blacks and guides the air flow. off-road versions of the Tiguan is always with permanent 4MOTION four-wheel drive wheels.
back
One of the characteristics which means that all new Volkswagen cars have a distinctive tail lights. This also applies to the revised two-part tail lights and the Tiguan. Inside, the lights now reflects the look of the rear lights of the Touareg with double section "L". Lower limit of the rear lights are now constantly followed by a horizontal line, creates a new design even cleaner in the C-pillars, which gives the whole back of the emergence of a higher quality.
Behind all versions of the Tiguan is a departure angle of 25 degrees. This angle is of course possible to reduce the payload of the car (the same applies to the approach towards the front).
Side profile
A clear and powerful design dominates lateral profile of the SUV. The design here is real but modest wheel arches filled, a window line that rises towards the rear, the door surfaces and distinctive wing, and - as typical Volkswagen - Single C-pillars. Every detail here follows a logic of form that unites the whole. A new set of wheels visually separates Volkswagen Tiguan from the previous model. In Germany, the "Track & Field" on "Trend & Fun" and the versions are equipped with alloy wheels of 16 inches ("Portland" type) as standard, the Tiguan Sport & Style "and" Track & line Style leaving equipment on the factory alloy wheels 17 "(" Philadelphia "type).
In side profile, the Sport & Style "and" Track & Style version differ from the basic models of chrome side rubbing strips. All models share the ramp angle of 20 degrees and 200 mm height from the ground - in the top versions - anodized roof railing.
Passive safety VW Tiguan
Tiguan previous model reached a maximum of five stars in crash tests, the test EuroNCAP European Consumers 'Association' (New Car Assessment Programme). American IIHC (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), was also named SUV of its Top Safety Pick, the evaluation will assess the measures detailed in the areas of active and passive safety. The new version of the Tiguan is certainly one of the safest cars in the same way. His confidence was built on a solid basis of a rigid passenger cell, deformation zones and restraint systems that are tuned to them.
Restraints
Volkswagen Tiguan comes with 5 pillows that can adjust very high (the distance of the head is also adjustable front seats "...& Style "), 2 front airbags, 2 side airbags (front) and 2 head thorax airbags /, while the second covers the entire surface of side windows. Volkswagen may also be ordered with two rear side airbags optional. It is always possible to disable the front airbag if a small child traveling in a rear-facing seat. Status of this bag is indicated to the driver of an indicator. Standard Isofix mounting points in places the rear seats complete protection for children.
Integrated front and rear outboard, the belt force limiters to reduce the burdens chest. Seat belt pretensioners for front seats, which are electrically ignited by a central control module in a crash of sufficient severity to ensure that the resettlement of residents are coordinated with the deceleration of the vehicle at the beginning. Together with rear side airbags, the security option includes pretensioners rear seat belts on outer rear seats block. The systems are connected to each other: air system bag deployment, for example, between all relevant control modules, ensure that the flashers are activated, all doors are locked, the inner light and the fuel pump is disabled in an accident.
Interior
A key success factors of the Tiguan is the versatility, sophisticated design and user-friendly interior. This may seem obvious, but it is not. All user controls and systems to enable their duties without delay. A user guide? He is one. But it is rarely necessary. The seat design is so convenient. Volkswagen Tiguan customers appreciate the high, upright seating in front and behind. Another impressive feature is that the 60/40 split rear seat with adjustable backrest in either direction and tilted up to 16 cm. Cargo capacity ranges from 470 to 1,510 liters, depending on the configuration of the rear seat. In addition, the front passenger seat fold in the equipment versions "Sport & Style" and "Track & Style, which allows customers to store items up to 2.5 meters in length.
Within the base versions of the Tiguan, 2011, the new seat covers "Pakat" are catchy design. Glasses around the vents are now in "Dark rhodium." Meanwhile, the top models are identified by details such as decorative strip doors "metallic silver" and the fabric seat covers and Alcantara new ("Milan" style). Volkswagen Tiguan range of standard features have also been greatly expanded. For example, standard on the Tiguan Sport & Style "(and the Tiguan Track & Style") now includes the detection of fatigue, rain sensor, automatic dimming rearview mirror and the RCD 310 audio system with 8 speakers (see "lines of equipment and characteristics" for details).
Cabin
The instruments are sophisticated - both visually and to touch - and optimally arranged, all orders are where one would expect intuitively. Consider the dashboard: Located at the summit - an optimal integration in the visual field of the driver and front passenger - is the audio or audio-navigation. Buyers can choose between radio systems CD RCD-210 (standard "Trend & Fun" and "Track & Field"), RCD 310 (standard "...& Style "), RCD 510, RNS 310 with Navigation is an extension of the RCD 310 or RNS 510 radio navigation system with DVD. Two vents are located to the left of the audio system and two on the right. Displayed on the lower level are the controls for the air-conditioning as standard.
The front seats
The VW Tiguan seating system is available in two different configurations. Even in the "Trend & Fun" and versions "Track & Field, the SUV comes with seats that offer height adjustment and lumbar support. As mentioned, the "Sport & Style" and the lines of "Track & Style" The facility has more positioning. In this sense, the sport seats are used, and there is a storage drawer under each front seat. The seat of the passenger seat also folds completely forward.
The rear seats
The rear 60/40 is slightly high compared with the two front seats, rear seat center section can be folded so that it can be used as an armrest, cup holders, table or load via password. Regardless of this function, the seat back angle can be adjusted in a range of 23 degrees. The seats can be adjusted in a longitudinal field of 16 cm.
Bootspace
Trunk Tiguan is well designed, varied and practical with a flat surface. When the five people aboard a vehicle that can accommodate up to 470 liters. This is the largest load capacity of 1510 liters of maximum payload of 670 kg.

bugatti veyron
Last week, Bugatti test driver, er, pilote official, Pierre Henri Raphanel set the production-car speed record in Bugatti’s new Veyron Supersports 16.4. The 1,200 horsepower, 1,106 pound-feet monster propelled Raphanel to timed runs of 265.9 and 269.8 mph on Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track near Wolfsburg, which according to the Guinness people, averages to a V-max of 267.81 mph. That’s more than enough to bring the title of world’s fastest production car back to the VW fold. We phoned the former F1 and Japanese touring-car driver to get his take on what it’s like to approach the 270 mph mark in a production car, why the forest is his friend and whether or not he’s up to try for 300.he Veyron features a 16 cylinder engine, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a W configuration. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of sixty four, but the narrow staggered V8 configuration allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four bi-turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 by 86 mm (3.4 by 3.4 in) bore and stroke.

The transmission is a dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox computer-controlled automatic with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds, built by Ricardo of England rather than Borg-Warner, who designed the six speed DSG used in the mainstream Volkswagen Group marques. The Veyron can be driven in either semi- or fully automatic mode. A replacement transmission for the Veyron costs just over €120,000. It also has permanent four wheel drive using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, which reportedly cost €25,000 per set.[9] The tyres can be removed from the rims only in France, a service which reportedly costs €70,000. Curb weight is 1,888 kilograms (4,162 lb).[10] This gives the car a power to weight ratio, according to Volkswagen Group's figures, of 446.3 metric horsepower (328 kW; 440 bhp) per ton.
The car's wheelbase is 2,710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4,462 mm (175.7 in), width 1,998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1,204 mm (47.4 in).
