As you know, the second-generation Tiguan stands out from other compact SUVs with a family-friendly third-row option. Meanwhile, the standard five-passenger model can pack up to 2081 litres of cargo—more than many rivals—and a power liftgate is available. All three trim levels include a 184-horsepower turbocharged engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission; only the base Trendline doesn't come standard with 4MOTION all-wheel drive. A Snow mode is incorporated into the system.
