Volkswagen Tiguan

Price $34,895 – $46,295
Fuel consumption 8.0 – 10.9 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 58%(view ratings)
The second generation of the Tiguan might be longer, wider and heavier than the original, but it’s also less powerful (184 horsepower vs. 200 horsepower). The eight-speed automatic transmission has two more gears than past units, however, improving fuel economy. The Tiguan boasts a spacious interior with available third-row seats. The next generation is a year or two away, and electrification will likely be part of the mix at last.
