Top of the class: The Tiguan is the most successful model in the Volkswagen Group and the best-selling SUV in EuropeSteady increase in production: Since the Tiguan made its debut in 2007, Volkswagen has increased annual production from 120,000 to just shy of 911,000 units2,495 units per day: Last year a brand new Tiguan rolled off the production line every 35 seconds in one of Volkswagen’s factories in Germany, Russia, China and Mexico. A global bestseller sets another new record: in spring 2020, the Volkswagen Tiguan broke the production barrier of six million units. A total of 910,926 units of the SUV were manufactured in 2019 alone. This makes the Tiguan the best-selling car in the Volkswagen brand and Group. The versatile vehicle is available to buy in 80% of all countries on earth. It is the most successful SUV on the market in Europe. The Tiguan is one of the three most popular sport utility vehicles in the world. Volkswagen produces the top-selling model in four time zones across three continents. On average, a brand new Tiguan rolled off the production line every 35 seconds in one of four factories across the globe last year. This fast rate of production reflects the rapid development of this product line. The world première of the first generation of the SUV took place at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt back in 2007. Later that year, the first Tiguan came onto the market, generally with all-wheel drive (4MOTION). Since then, the newcomer has enjoyed a meteoric rise. In 2008, Volkswagen manufactured more than 150,000 units of the Tiguan, which was now also available with front-wheel drive. In Germany, it claimed the title of the most successful SUV from a standing start. And, from the outset, the new model was also in demand worldwide. This was because Volkswagen’s ground-breaking Tiguan redefined the boundaries between an SUV and a passenger car thanks to some active driving and technical features.

The new model has been developed by Volkswagen South America and will be manufactured initially at the Anchieta factory, in São Bernardo do Campo, SP, to be commercialized in the South American market. In a second moment, the model will be made also in Europe. First model developed in the region that will be manufactured and commercialized also in the European market, one of the world's most competitive", says Pablo Di Si, president and CEO of Volkswagen Latin America. "Since 2017, we have fully renewed our portfolio, in the largest product offensive in Volkswagen's history in the region. The New Brand Design also inaugurates our New Brand Design in South America. This is much more than a new brand logo. It is a brand attitude, with new colors, closer to people", emphasizes Di Si. The Nivus will be officially launched in the Brazilian market in the next few weeks. In Argentina, the model will be in the dealerships at the end of the second half this year. The first semester of 2021 will be the time for the remaining South American markets to receive the Nivus. The model will be also launched in Europe, during next year's second half.

Key Aspects Contains 4 sections: Exterior, Interior, Assistance Systems, Engines, Air Suspension and All-Wheel Drive, Features, Transparent Factory The new Phaeton - Exterior Phaeton Debuts with Entirely New Front End StylingDesigners re-styled the grille, headlights, bumper, wings and bonnetPhaeton will be offered with optional 120 millimetre longer wheelbase An entirely new front end was developed for the new Phaeton. In keeping with the current Volkswagen Design-DNA, horizontal lines dominate its styling. Different than on any other Volkswagen based on this new DNA so far, the radiator grille on the Phaeton is not a glossy black; instead a completely new chrome element is used here. The styling of the new Phaeton is essentially defined by this radiator trim together with a new headlight design, and it underscores the car's uncompromising and independent character. Clear, elegant, stretched out and powerful are properties defining the side profile of the Phaeton with its roof placed far forward. The unique layout of the third window and coupe-like C-pillar that sweeps to the rear are characteristics of a very aristocratic design. Phaeton was designed for 300 km/h top speed The four-door body of the Phaeton, whose steel parts are fully galvanised, fulfils the highest standards when it comes to rigidity, vibration behaviour, passive safety and long life qualities. Like the running gear and powertrain, all body components are designed for a top speed of up to 300 km/h as well. Two of the many positive aspects of this basic construction layout: maximum solidity and maximum acoustic comfort. Besides using high-strength steels, Volkswagen also uses lightweight materials in the car body. The doors as well as the front and rear bonnets are made of aluminium, while the front wings bridge the gap to Racing: They consist of a highly durable plastic. New front end design with high-tech features Back to the styling.

Another factor is the aerodynamic body with a drag coefficient of just 0.23, which (depending on equipment) helps to reduce energy consumption. Silent performance and quick charging. With its almost silent drive and the lowest possible level of wind noise, the disturbance inside the ID.7 is at a standard only ever achieved by luxury saloons in the world of combustion engines. At the same time, the Volkswagen, which is electronically governed at a speed of 180 km/h, also delivers dynamic performance. The ID.7 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds∗∗∗. However, a particularly impressive feature is how spontaneously the 210 kW electric drive motor delivers the maximum system torque of 545 Nm to the powered rear axle. The ID.7 can also absorb new energy as quickly as it can accelerate: when charged at DC quick-charging stations under optimum conditions, enough power for up to 204 kilometres (according to WLTP) of driving flows into the battery in just 10 minutes with a charging capacity of up to 175 kW∗∗∗∗. A battery with a charge level as low as 10 per cent can be charged to 80 per cent again in about 28 minutes. Progressive styling at the front. The design of the ID.7 is based on flowing and muscular lines. For example, the front is largely closed.

For superior occupant protection, its laser-welded and fully galvanised body comes from the factory with an armada of state-of-the-art safety features: Driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags and front head airbags, as well as active head restraints and ESC electronic stability control. Innovative and proven drives Volkswagen is well aware that every customer has unique needs. That is why Volkswagen offers a wide range of engine options for the Touran. Its broad range covers a spectrum from 66 kW (90 PS) to a dynamic 125 kW (170 PS) engine output. In addition to proven and always exceptionally economical petrol and TDI diesel engines, a particularly environmentally friendly CNG model EcoFuel is also offered. Versatility and updates Depending on the individual customer's wishes, the Touran of the time is offered with a clean-and-simple, emphatically dynamic or discreetly luxurious touch: the Conceptline, Trendline and Highline equipment lines also offer a wide range of optional customisation options. The possible equipment spectrum ranges from sophisticated two-tone leather packages, premium infotainment systems with navigation function and DVD entertainment in the rear, to practical bicycle racks and age-appropriate child seat solutions. In 2007, Volkswagen achieves a special coup with the strikingly designed CrossTouran. The new model variant masterfully takes into account the increasingly strong trend towards crossover models with an off-road look. A discreet twelve-millimetre suspension lift for additional ground clearance, striking wheel arch extensions, upbeat colours and exclusive polished alloy wheels turn the CrossTouran into the perfect lifestyle vehicle. The diversity of variants, which is unique in the segment, is a decisive building block for Touran's strong sales success throughout Europe.

The modules are being produced at the components factories in Kassel, Braunschweig, Salzgitter and Hannover. They include the electric motor, the battery system and the axles. It is thus the case that the ID. Buzz is the first model of the ID. family for which Volkswagen Group Components is making the axles as well. And this is in fact being done in an assembly hall specifically set up for the purpose at the Hannover-Barsinghausen site. There alone are 200 people employed. Long term, Hannover will also produce the battery system for the ID. Buzz. At present it is being made in Braunschweig. Today, Volkswagen Group Components is already contributing around 40 percent of the total value creation for the ID. Buzz – around 10 per cent more than for conventional models. The initial spark – first forerunner of the ID. Buzz made its debut 50 years ago The ID. Buzz is incidentally not the first Bulli with an electric drive system. Fifty years ago at the Hannover Trade Fair, Volkswagen was already showing a T2 powered by a rear-mounted electric motor. The maximum range of 85 kilometres showed, however, that the battery technology of this short-run project was still far from being suitable for practical use. But even back then in 1972, the dream was born: the dream of an all-electric Bulli. Now it is becoming reality. ID. Buzz und ID. Buzz Cargo - World Premiere Christian Yan
