Some SUVs have all the fun.
The Tiguan isn’t like most other compact
SUVs. It’s got style. And versatility. And
the premium quality you’ve come to expect
in a Volkswagen. But most importantly,
it’s fun to drive. It’s the only Germanengineered SUV in its class,* after all. Look
under the hood and you’ll find a standard
200-hp turbocharged engine — the same
one found in our legendary GTI. Want

PERFORMANCE
The soul of a sports car. Just with a better view. This isn’t your
typical SUV. In fact, we took the turbocharged heart and soul
of our iconic, sporty GTI and put it in the Tiguan. So it doesn’t
just get you from point A to point B, it also gets your blood
pumping from your head to your feet. Combine that with an
available sport-tuned suspension, available 4MOTION allwheel drive, and a commanding seating position, and you’ll
get to experience performance you won’t find in most SUVs.
Or cars, for that matter.
