Performance
With a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine, the Tiguan generates up to 200 horsepower. Drivers can expect a powerful engine that makes no compromises with comfort while cruising. The transmission shifts gears quite smoothly and helps the Tiguan to accelerate at an impressive rate. Test drivers with Edmunds rave about how smooth the handling is and how quiet the engine is, especially going around corners. The Tiguan handles similar to a car than a SUV. Engineers aptly applied their expertise to optimize the performance and mechanics.
Interior
Since it has leather and soft upholstery with adjustable seats, enthusiasts are quite impressed with the philosophy of comfort that seems to be put into practice in the Tiguan. All five passengers (including the driver) will find that there is quite a bit of headroom so that they do not feel tight or cramped. The front seats are heated so that the driver and passenger will remain comfortable despite difficult weather conditions.
Features
With a 5 Star side crash rating, the Tiguan comes with five airbags to mitigate any damage in the event of a crash. It also comes with several features meant to prevent a crash. It has traction control, brake assist (so that if you do not brake in time, the car will brake for you), and electronic stability control.
