The Germans have published a short video about the next generation Tiguan crossover. They do not yet cover the exterior of the car, but report unexpected innovations in the car’s controls.
The SUV is built on a new platform, for which a series of advanced power plants, including hybrids, have been prepared. The official start of crossover sales is expected this fall, but some interior solutions have already become known for now.
First of all, attention is drawn in the cabin to the multifunctional rotary control with integrated display on the center tunnel, which the company calls the Driving Experience Swith. It took the traditional place of the gear selector, which in turn moved to the steering column.
The windshield washer regulator controls three functions: with its help you can select driving modes, adjust the volume of the audio system and control the atmospheric interior lighting, the built-in diodes of which are also located on the front panel.
The icon of the function selected at any given time is displayed both on the touch screen of the controller itself and on the central screen. And the latter seems to float above the dashboard. Visually, it is at least 15 inches. The instrument panel here is digital, but that will not surprise anyone now. Yes, and such multifunction selectors, supplemented by a touch mini-display, we have, frankly, already seen in Range Rover.
