Volkswagen Tiguan

View all Volkswagen Vehicles
Current Model
The Tiguan is one of the largest models in the small-SUV segment. That growth allows for an optional third-row seat and an enormous second-row seat.
Though the 184-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine feels responsive in daily driving, acceleration is ultimately rather slow: It takes more than 10-seconds to reach 60-mph from a stop. Fuel economy of 25-mpg on regular gas is good for the class. The transmission is mostly smooth. Handling is capable and secure, and the ride is comfortable. The cabin is among the quietest in the segment, with just a bit of engine noise when revved. Updates for 2022 include a new infotainment system with available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and rear cross traffic warning are standard.

The second-generation Tiguan is one of the largest models in the small-SUV segment. That growth allows for an optional third-row seat (standard on FWD versions) and an enormous second-row seat.
While the 184-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine feels responsive in daily driving, acceleration is rather slow: It takes more than 10 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop. Fuel economy of 25 mpg on regular gas is good for the class. The transmission is mostly smooth. Handling is capable and secure, and the ride is comfortable. The cabin is among the quietest in the segment, with just a bit of engine noise when revved. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot warning are standard starting in 2020. Updates included with the 2022 refresh include a new infotainment system with available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

2009 Redesign Year
The Tiguan did well in our tests. Based upon the VW Golf and Passat, we like its quiet cabin, roomy rear seat, and excellent fit and finish.
Handling is agile and secure, and the ride is comfortable. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers smooth and punchy performance and yielded 20 mpg overall in our tests. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available. For 2012, Tiguan's mild freshening improved fuel economy. Model year 2015 brought some equipment shuffling, including a standard rear camera.
