The clever ad features a boy with some serious-looking anger issues bashing an SUV-shaped Pinata at a birthday party. He huffs, he puffs and he lets it all out on the defenseless candy-packed vault, but nothing happens. An adult even has a go at it, presumably his father, but to no avail.
The Pinata then turns to reveal a big VW badge on the front, the the “Built like a Volkswagen. The 2011 Tiguan.” punch-line kicks in. We love the commercial, and would have liked a close-up of the kid’s face - it’s really epic!
The Tiguan was the fist SUV in the world sold exclusively with charged engines - irect injection engines with turbocharging or turbocharging plus supercharging. It also has full-time 4MOTION all-wheel drive and is offered with a choice between two six-speed gearboxes.
“On paved streets an intelligent all-wheel drive also improves active safety. In the Tiguan the latest generation of 4MOTION all-wheel drive is used. It is shifted by manual, or optionally automatic, six-speed transmissions. Both transmissions satisfy special off-road requirements. The manual transmission can be driven at an engine speed of 1,000 rpm or vehicle speed of just 6.69 km/h, for example; this practically equals the crawler gear of a reduction gearbox. The automatic transmission has gear level preselect; in off-road use it prevents shifting to the next higher gear,” Volkswagen says.
