Can you still play like this? The personality "ceiling" in the Volkswagen family, Tiguan X slip back there is still a lot of space

In recent years, sneakback models have become more and more prominent in the domestic automobile market, and many cars have begun to generally adopt sneaky designs, but in addition to cars, a large number of cross-border SUVs with slipback shapes have emerged, and most of these models have appeared to meet the demands of young people for individual sports.
In our inherent impression, the public with a slightly "old-fashioned" personality has also changed the design limitations of the past and begun to break through their existing style. Tiguan X is a Volkswagen SUV with personality color, and perhaps this model can also be called a crossover SUV, although the model also has the name of Tiguan, but there are obvious structural differences with the previous Tiguan.
Judging from the front face of this model, it is still the Volkswagen style we are familiar with, but on this basis, its design will appear more delicate, especially in the shaping of personality will appear more sporty. The grille at the front of the car is still a chrome-coated horizontal line distributed in a middle net, but the bottom layer is made of a high-gloss black kit for priming, so it is more youthful.
Its headlights are still integrated with the grille, but the headlights have a small extension at the tail, which also modifies the overall shape of the light group. The headlights of the model adopt the LED light source mode, and the light group part also has a matrix structure, so it can bring a wider lighting range at night and increase the safety of travel at night.
Coming to the side of the body, its sneaky top modifies the side height of the whole vehicle, so from the side view, Tiguan X is more of a slender visual sense, because of the compression of the body height, so it will appear that it is relatively flat, but the top line is full. It is also because of the trend design of the roof that it has created a cross-border style.
Compared to other models, the R-Line version offers a large number of blackening kits, in addition to the enclosing part of the front, the blackening color scheme is also used in the rearview mirrors on the side of the body. There is also a camera under the blackened rearview mirror, as well as an atmosphere light, and when the car door is opened, the pattern will be projected below.
Tiguan X's movement at the rear of the car is no less than the front face part, but the entire rear of the car pays more attention to the hierarchical composition, so its taillights adopt a penetrating integrated layout, and the articulation part of the entire taillights uses a blackened lampshade. This design undoubtedly echoes the blackened panels below.
Because the model adopts a sneaky shape design, when opening the tailgate of this model, you can see that its tailgate opening angle is relatively large, placing some irregular shapes, or relatively large items, and will not be limited by the tailgate opening. But because it is also a slippery back design, the height space of the tail box may be limited by some limitations, but fortunately, its tail box depth is considerable, and the rear seat back can be folded, so the tail box space can be further expanded.
Many people may worry that the height space in the rear is limited because of the slippery design of the model. In fact, this model also takes this into account, so it is hollowed out in the top position of the car, so when the user rides into the second row, the head still retains sufficient space, and will not appear to be depressed by the internal height space due to the slipback structure.
summary:
Tiguan X is a model more suitable for young people to choose, and it is also an important drop for Volkswagen in the product layout. Volkswagen has its own way of marketing strategy, it can accurately find the gap in the segment, even if it is only a niche need, it can also try its best to meet. And Tiguan X is one of them, in all the products of the Tiguan series, Tiguan L is more stable, but the tonality of this model is not too attractive to young people, so the birth of Tiguan X is to fill this gap, so that more young people can have a choice that fits their personality and preferences, so cross-border is undoubtedly a good solution.
