The position of the VW Tiguan in Vietnam
Previously, the VW Tiguan had only one version in Vietnam, with a listed price of 1.999 billion VND. However, this SUV often had to undergo significant price cuts to sell. In October 2023, the car's price dropped by up to 500 million VND, down to 1.499 billion VND, comparable to popular 7-seater SUVs like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Ford Everest.
Currently, many dealerships are offering the VW Tiguan with a discount of 300 million VND, bringing the price down to 1.699 billion VND, which is still higher than the newly launched Tiguan Platinum version.
According to Volkswagen Vietnam, since its launch, the Tiguan has sold over 3,000 units in the Vietnamese market.
