Volkswagen Tiguan FAQs
The VW Tiguan is in its second generation, with the current iteration having been on sale since 2016. It’s always been a roomy SUV, sitting between the smaller VW T-Roc and the luxurious VW Touareg. All regular Tiguans have five seats and a big boot, or there’s the Tiguan Allspace that adds a pair of extra seats behind the second row. The Allspace is best thought of as a 5+2 seater, with the rearmost seats being useful for occasional journeys or small children.
When the Tiguan was facelifted in 2020, the lineup broadened with two new engine choices. A plug-in hybrid joined the range, along with a fast Tiguan R performance model.
Measuring roughly 4.5m in length, the Tiguan finds itself between a VW Golf and a Golf estate. At nearly 1.7m tall, it’s noticeably higher than a Golf, giving you more headroom and a higher driving position. It’s a family favourite because that extra height makes it easier to get young kids in and out. There’s more than enough room for five adults, and sliding, reclining rear seats ensure everyone can get comfortable.
The 520-litre boot is a good size. If you need to haul a lot of family clobber and don’t need all that rear seat space, sliding the seats forward unlocks another 95 litres of luggage space. In this configuration, few five-seat SUVs offer more boot space… but rear legroom is seriously compromised when you do so.
Most Tiguans come with either a petrol or diesel engine, the majority of which are economical. There are also a couple of powerful petrol choices if you regularly run late on the school run, and in recent years the range has been broadened to include a clever plug-in hybrid engine that has the potential to slash your fuel costs.
Both the Tiguan and Volkswagen as a brand have earned middling scores for reliability across a selection of surveys. Owners tend to praise overall build and material quality, but occasional mechanical and electrical gremlins can sour the experience.
The engines and many additional parts used in the Tiguan are also widely shared with other Volkswagen and VW-Group cars. That means you shouldn't struggle too much to find replacements if something goes wrong.
Add an extended warranty when you buy your Tiguan to protect yourself against unexpected repair bills.
Residual values for the Tiguan should be fairly good. It's a popular model from a brand with a reputable image. Plus, it's a family SUV, which remains one of the most in-demand vehicle segments.
Volkswagen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as part of the Tiguan's App-Connect package. When this generation of Tiguan launched in 2016, App-Connect was initially an option but, later that same year, became standard on all trims except entry-level S models.
When the facelifted Tiguan arrived in late 2020, Volkswagen made App-Connect – and thus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – standard equipment on all Tiguan models.
