About the Volkswagen Tiguan

The Tiguan is an established face on the SUV market, launching way back in 2008. For its second generation in 2021, the Tiguan got a flashy facelift that saw improvements to more than just its appearance.   

The latest Tiguan offerings are handsomely designed and look classier than other SUVs on the market. The interior is just as stylish, and gets really exciting with the high-spec trim levels.   

You also benefit from that reliable Volkswagen engineering, so you know you’re getting a quality car.  

We particularly enjoy the Tiguan R models for something with all the extras, but the Life trim at the entry level is just as impressive and usable for everyday life.   

You can also now grab a Tiguan eHybrid model, for extra efficient driving with a pop of hybrid electric power.

What features does the Volkswagen Tiguan have?

The Tiguan is a great example of a fully kitted-out and modern SUV, as it brings a whole list of extras that only gets bigger as you move up trim levels.   

You'll find all the standard equipment in the entry-level Tiguan Life. It’s a polished model that includes ‘Air Care Climatronic’ three-zone air conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, and a ‘Discover Media’ navigation system.   

The Tiguan R is the flashiest of the offerings, getting all the standard stuff and its own special touches such as sports comfort seats in the front, a rearview camera system, and 4Motion all-wheel drive.   

You’ll find a brilliant collection of trim levels in-between that all have their own unique offerings of kit.

What is the Volkswagen Tiguan like to drive?

On the road, the Tiguan is comfortable and easy to drive. Each model gets its own offering of driver aids that make the experience even more stress-free.  

Engine-wise, the Tiguan is available as a petrol, diesel, or hybrid model, and there’s a high-performance offering from the Tiguan R.  

The hybrid model offers a 1.4-litre petrol engine that’s paired with an electric engine, and is capable of up to 30 electric miles on a full charge.  

If you prefer a standard petrol or diesel, there are 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre engines to choose from. They all offer a smooth drive that’s efficient and stress-free, with some diesel models claiming to be capable of up to 55.4mpg.
