Volkswagen celebrates five millionth Tiguan

Volkswagen can already celebrate an impressive production anniversary right at the start of 2019: in the middle of January, the five millionth #tiguan left the assembly line at the Wolfsburg plant. The compact #tiguan has enjoyed worldwide success since its market launch in 2007, and has thus made a valuable contribution to the brand's growth strategy and #SUV offensive.

 

The harmonious design concept of the #tiguan and #tiguan Allspace (since 2017) has been enthusiastically received by customers all over the world. The #tiguan stands for striking exterior and interior design, state-of-the art technologies and outstanding all-round characteristics. The just under 800,000 #tiguan and #tiguan Allspace vehicles delivered in 2018 are proof of the popularity and success of the compact #SUV. Dr. Andreas Tostmann, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Production: “The #tiguan has passed the historic mark of five million vehicles produced. The know-how of our team, the exceptional team spirit and the enthusiasm with which we produce our #Volkswagen models form the basis for this magnificent success and provide a strong foundation for our #SUV strategy.”

Bernd Osterloh, Chairman of the General and Group Works Council: “The #tiguan secures the jobs of tens of thousands of highly qualified workers around the world and makes a significant contribution to earnings. For this reason, it is important that we do not reduce our investments in the development and production of the #tiguan, as we should seek to inspire our customers with this car well into the future.”

Production of the #tiguan started in 2007 in the main plant in Wolfsburg and represented the beginning of the success story of this compact #SUV. More than 120,000 units already left the assembly line in the first full year of production in 2008. This was followed by steep continuous growth – in 2015, more than 500,000 #tiguan had already been sold worldwide.
