    Volkswagen Cuts Price of 2018 Tiguan

      An effort to draw more customers in

    The compact crossover arena has become highly competitive in the past couple of years and automakers are pulling all of the stops to draw customers into their showroom. Volkswagen is no exception.

    According to Automotive News, Volkswagen told its dealers that it would be cutting the price on several trims of Tiguan effective immediately. The price cuts are as followed,

    • Tiguan S: $600
    • Tiguan SE: $2,180
    • Tiguan SEL: $1,460

    This brings the base prices down to $25,495 for the S, $27,650 for the SE, and $31,990 for the SEL. Note: These prices are for the FWD models, AWD models will see the same price cut.

    Hinrich Woebcken, CEO of Volkswagen of America told Automotive News that he wants to see Volkswagen become "more of a mass-market automaker in the U.S." To do this, Volkswagen needed to price their vehicles more competitively. Hence why the Tiguan saw a price cut.

    That is a huge price drop on the SE and SEL. And frankly, I think necessary drops. VW's current lineups start to lose value the higher up in trims you go.

     

    Those trims are both extremely attractive options now.

    Agree a huge price drop, but one that I think was needed as I felt their original pricing was over the top in comparison to what you got for that price. They are now very competitive and I think they will grab sales with this new pricing.

      About a week at sea after departing the Atlantic Seaboard and on schedule to dock in the Azores tomorrow.  I've always been curious about these islands.  I'm looking forward to this ... a lush, volcanic archipelago 900 miles from the coast of Portugal.  You could definitely hang out by the pool at the beginning of the voyage.   Now, it's cool and comfortable, so no one is out by the pools, unless it's the one that's covered by the dome.  I'm hoping that pool weather will come back once we enter the Mediterranean. There are a lot of nice people aboard, but a few oddballls stand out.  I do not include myself in that latter group.

      3.04 miles and 25.6 miles in freedom units.   I still wonder what they are considering an average vehicle since this is in KM.  An average vehicle in Europe is different in size than an average vehicle in the U.S.

      Pretty interesting read, but wow: The rest of the charts are very eye opening. How far will $1 get you in a diesel car and an EV, and which cars are cheapest to drive?

      While home charging is 10 cents per kW, The work chargers are 29 cents per kW which is still not bad compared to other public chargers around Washington state. Tesla has had one affect here, initially they were very cheap compared to the first few public chargers, now that we have them all over from Rivian to EVgo, ChargePoint, etc. it is interesting to see that they are all within a penny or two of each other now, so the price has come down greatly.

      Seems it has been a bit since I looked at IONNA News channel, but wow, lots of tie ups with retailers. IONNA and Circle K Enter Partnership to Expand Access to EV Charging in the U.S. at IONNA Rechargeries @ Circle K - IONNA IONNA and Sheetz Combine Efforts in Opening American Roads to EV Charging - IONNA IONNA reaches milestone of more than 3,000 contracted bays with the addition of EV Rechargeries at Wawa - IONNA IONNA announces new partnership with Casey's - IONNA   Circle K, Sheetz, WAWA, Casey's, would not be surprised to see many more retailers connect with IONNA.
