Europe’s toughest jury has made its decision: this year’s coveted Auto1 Trophy in the “Off-Roaders and SUVs” category goes to the Volkswagen Tiguan. More than 40 million readers of the 26 editions of Auto Bild voted for their favourites in six vehicle categories. The top three in each category then had to prove themselves at a test facility near Rome, where an expert jury made up of racing drivers, technicians and senior editors determined the category winners. The result: a convincing victory for the Tiguan.
