    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.

      As you know, when you go to rent cars, they are giving the electric ones to customers at a lower price. This brings me to some rentals in the prospective year that are offering the same kind of price structure.  The electric ones are much more nicely priced. If going to a place like Italy, Spain and Portugal, how would I get a comprehensive list of charging stations ... basically a locator? How would I ensure that they are the baseline station ... meaning one that the more basic econobox brands can charge up at?  Lastly, I don't have debit cards or those linked banking payment systems they have over there.  How do I find out if I need an app or if I can just pay with a credit card at at the site? Reddit is really messy and about three quarters of it is mud flinging garbage, but one person said not to get an electric car when in a less developed area while on vacation so that you don't encounter that stressor.  What do you think about that? If I could get some brief direction on this, I'd appreciate it.

      As opposed to the “original” designs from Kia and Hyundai that have borrowed from others for decades now? Make it make sense outside of your obvious anti Toyota bias.
