This month, Volkswagen introduced the Tiguan GTE Active Concept at the North American International Auto Show.

Perhaps the top innovation in the Volkswagen Tiguan GTE Active Concept is its plug-in hybrid system. The system uses two electric motors, as well as a gasoline engine. These engines power all four wheels of the vehicle at the push of a button, or automatically.

The Volkswagen Tiguan GTE Active Concept embarks on every adventure in its all-electric E-mode. When in this mode, it is a zero emissions vehicle. The vehicle has up to a 20 mile range in all-electric mode, and the combined electric and gas range is 580 miles.

The next-generation infotainment system in the Volkswagen Tiguan GTE Active Concept is cutting edge. It features a 9.20-inch high-resolution touchscreen, which is clear as glass. Drivers are able to view a variety of media on the screen such as Car-Net App-Connect, Mirror Link, Apple CarPlay and more.
