Volkswagen Tiguan
After having encountered a lot of success with its Touareg SUV, Volkswagen is about to market an all-new compact SUV called Tiguan. The interior is well suited to accommodate five passengers, on top of being very versatile. For the North-American market, it is powered by a well-known 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, which is extensively used by the VW/Audi Group. It produces 200 horsepower and 207 pounds/foot of torque.
