The Volkswagen Tiguan has established itself as a desirable choice in the family SUV class. Over 15 years, it has cemented its place as an upmarket rival to the top-selling Nissan Qashqai.
Despite its upmarket badge and image, the Volkswagen Tiguan still faces intense competition. Its many rivals include the popular Ford Kuga, the similar Skoda Karoq and the impressive Hyundai Tucson.
The strength of the Volkswagen brand also makes the VW Tiguan a worthy competitor for the premium Audi Q3, the BMW X1 and even the new Mercedes-Benz GLB.
Packed with technology and a wide range of engine options, the Volkswagen Tiguan has a broad appeal. If you’re thinking of buying or leasing one, here is what you need to know. Do check out the selection of Volkswagen Tiguans in stock at heycar, too. If you're after a seven seat version, you'll want the bigger Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
More than 445,000 Volkswagen Tiguans were sold around the world during 2021, demonstrating how universally popular this SUV is. It offers dependability and comfort, mixed with a pleasing amount of affordable luxury.
Although it has many rivals, the Volkswagen Tiguan stands out from the crowd with its smartt interior. It looks and feels high-quality inside, with soft-touch plastics, hard-wearing fabrics and tactile switchgear. It means that whether you buy or lease a VW Tiguan, you will feel that you are getting good value for money.
Compared to its mechanically-similar sister models, the SEAT Ateca and Skoda Karoq, the Volkswagen Tiguan comes out top for practicality. A standard-fit sliding rear bench seat can move to increase boot space, offering much more luggage capacity than an equivalent Volkswagen Golf hatchback. The rest of the interior is packed with clever cubbies and storage spaces, too.
A large range of engine options means there is a Volkswagen Tiguan to suit you. Whether that is a diesel for drivers covering longer distances, or the impressive petrol/electric eHybrid model, there is no shortage of choice. Many engines can be combined with Volkswagen’s smooth DSG automatic gearbox, while 4Motion all-wheel drive is available for those who need extra traction.
Whichever Volkswagen Tiguan you pick, the driving experience should be comfortable and relaxing. Well, other than the high-performance VW Tiguan R, but even that is capable of dealing with broken-up British roads.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a popular SUV that appeals to a wide array of buyers. Both new and used examples attract plenty of attention, thanks to the VW Tiguan’s ease of use and comfortable driving experience.
The Volkswagen Tiguan has few weak spots, other than appearing slightly expensive alongside rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga. However, the VW Tiguan counters this with a spacious interior – and it feels very well-made and refined. Quality is good enough to make it be a genuine alternative to premium-badged mid-size SUVs such as the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, in fact. For a dependable, practical and refined family SUV, the Volkswagen Tiguan is hard to beat.

We know the world’s gone a bit anti-diesel lately, but a Tiguan 2.0 TDI really is an excellent all-rounder. Most buyers won’t need any more power than the standard 150PS model, although we’d recommend the DSG automatic gearbox (even if it is slightly pricier). Go on, treat yourself. Of course, if you rarely drive your Tiguan further than the school run, you’d be better with a petrol model. The 2.0-litres are thirsty and a bit pointless, so go for a 1.4 or 1.5 TSI.
All trim levels are well-equipped and the Tiguan Match will have most things that most buyers desire, without an expensive price tag. Fork out more for one of the top-spec R-Line Tech models and the Tiguan becomes a little more difficult to justify, as it suddenly starts squaring up against some very good premium alternatives.
The Tiguan's model line up was overhauled in 2020, and models made after this come in the following trims:
The Volkswagen Tiguan’s exterior dimensions are:
The Volkswagen Tiguan’s boot size is:
You’ll pay a flat rate of £180 a year to tax any Tiguan registered since 1 April 2017, with the exception of the hybrid model which is £10 cheaper. Watch out for Tiguans with a list price of more than £40,000 (i.e. the retail price when new). These are subject to an additional premium tax of an extra £390 a year. You’ll have to pay this rate for five years (from the second time the vehicle is taxed), even if you’ve paid significantly less than list price for the car.
For a family SUV with a desirable badge, insuring a Volkswagen Tiguan isn’t as expensive as you might think. The entry-level VW Tiguan Life starts from insurance group 15 for the 1.5 TSI 130 petrol version, with the more powerful 150PS model taking this to group 17. Moving up to Elegance and R-Line trim levels increases the insurance group only slightly. Even the high-performance Volkswagen Tiguan R manages a respectable group 36 (out of 50) car insurance rating.
