Volkswagen newest darling, the Tiguan, is already making the company proud. In the latest Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s round of crash tests, the Tiguan scored impressively high on all categories including front impact, side impact, and rear impact collision.
“In the latest tests, the Tiguan’s performance is a standout,” said institute President Adrian Lund. “It sailed through the front and side crash tests without a single downgrade for structure or measures of injury likelihood recorded on the dummy. This is one of four models in this group that afford superior crash protection in their class.”
The Tiguan’s six standard airbags also helped to keep crash dummies unharmed during the testing. It is worth noting that the six airbags are a feature that is standard in all Volkswagens. The resulting scores from it’s crash tests see’s the Tiguan earning the institute’s Top Safety Pick award.
