Volkswagen Tiguan Wins in Australia's Best Car Awards

SYDNEY, Australia – December 4, 2008: Volkswagen’s diesel Tiguan, has won the Best Recreational Four Wheel drive award at the prestigious ‘Australia’s Best Car Awards’ for 2008.

The Tiguan TDI was launched in May 2008 and has seen unprecedented demand, leading to extended waiting lists for the limited stock available.

However, with the recent arrival of two petrol variants and increased stock, the waiting times have been dramatically reduced and customers can now get into this award winning car.

Volkswagen Group Australia’s Managing Director, Jutta Dierks, welcomed the award for the Tiguan.

“We knew the Tiguan had all the makings of a great SUV, we are pleased to have this confirmed by such well regarded motoring authorities,” said Ms Dierks.

‘Australia’s Best Car Awards’ are in their ninth year as a co-operation between the seven State and Territory based car clubs of Australia. These car clubs as a combined voice, speak to approximately seven million Australian motorists hence magnifying the importance of these awards.
