Volkswagen launches Europe-only Tiguan Track & Avenue
December 10, 2009 by Tim Beissmann
Volkswagen has introduced the newest addition to its Tiguan range, the Track & Avenue – a Europe-only, off-road-inspired, top-of-the-range version of its mid-size SUV.
The 38,225 euro (AUD$62,000) machine bridges the gap between the existing Tiguan range and the entry-level Audi Q5, appealing to those who prefer a dressed-up cheapster over a base model premium car.
The Track & Avenue scores new 19in alloys, fog-lights, bi-xenon headlights, wheel flares, an off-road front end and a silver-coloured diffuser.
The interior is furnished with sports seats and leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and upgrades to the audio and climate-control systems.
The Tiguan Track & Avenue comes with four engine-transmission combinations, all with six-speed gearboxes.
The 147kW 2.0-litre TSI engine can be combined with either manual or automatic transmission, while the 103 kW TDI is paired with the automatic and the more powerful 125 kW diesel comes with the manual.
The VW Tiguan Track & Avenue is on sale now in selected European markets.

I dont think Aus gets that improved-approach-angle front bumper on any variant?
Is it an option
Nope, as of yet, Aus only receives the road-biased version. For an off-road ready version, Skoda will probably beat it to market with its Yeti; which shares both mechanicals and off-road tech.
I much prefer the off road bumper. The Aus spec Tiguan looks weird with its 6 metre front overhang and 4mm rear overhang
I still find this Tiguan slightly boring…
Needs ABT treatment.
$62,000 gets you into Audi Q5 territory. Looks better than the drab Aussie import version.
