    Volkswagen Tiguan


    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 3 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    Volkswagen's first small SUV is luxurious, well finished and impressively quiet. It straddles the small and upscale compact SUV classes. Seating is roomy and comfortable, but the cargo area is modest. Handling is agile, and the smooth engine provides good acceleration, but fuel economy could be better.
