Volkswagen recently brought the new Passat and Tiguan to the Croatian market. These models have been well received since their world premiere, and our recent test drive in Istria only confirmed their appeal. While VW has been focusing on electric models in recent years, they have not neglected the popularity of their classic gasoline and diesel engines.
The new Passat is a significant departure from its predecessor, with major changes to the body line and interior. The station wagon is the only remaining version of the limousine, but it still retains some familiar features. The cockpit and infotainment system have been completely overhauled, giving drivers a modern and comfortable driving experience.
In terms of engines, the offer in Croatia is currently limited but will soon expand to include more diesel options and new plug-in hybrid versions. The new Passat also features a new suspension system with adaptive shock absorbers for an even smoother ride. Overall, the driving experience is comfortable, with minimal noise in the cabin and impressive fuel efficiency.
The Tiguan has undergone a significant upgrade compared to its predecessor, with a larger size and more interior space. The interior features a large touch screen and a multifunctional wheel for various controls, adding to its comfortability and convenience. The range of engines is richer too, with options for gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid versions available to suit different driving preferences. Despite being an SUV, it’s agile and fun to drive on Croatian roads.
Both models offer an impressive driving experience with high-quality features at competitive prices in Croatia’s market. With its balance of comfort, luxury, and modern technology, Volkswagen expects high sales for both models in Croatia in the future.
