The gas and electric-using SUV will have two electric motors for each of the axles. The VW Tiguan GTE Active starts in rear wheel drive and then transitions to use its all-
electric mode, which has a range of 20 miles per charge. When the terrain changes or if the driver selects the 4Motion Active Control, the car will activate four wheel drive to make sure that the vehicle has extra traction.

produce 221 horsepower in off-roading conditions. The SUV can go 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and can reach speeds of 120 mph.

spotlights, recovery hooks, roof rails and resculpted front and rear fascias. The interior is equipped with a 9.2-inch gesture-controlled touchscreen that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Specifically designed for hybrid use, the Tuguan Concept will use a 6-speed dual-clutch (DSG) automatic transmission.
