Turbocharged Engine

The excitement that comes with driving the Volkswagen Tiguan starts with its 2.0-liter TSI® (turbocharged stratified injection) engine. It delivers an enticing 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque without compromising your gas mileage. This powerplant pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission for a ride that’s both powerful and responsive, or you can activate Tiptronic® mode to enable manual shifting for a more active experience.

Fine-Tuned Suspension

The Volkswagen Tiguan already features a nimble shape and responsive steering, which help to enhance your driving experience. The compact SUV is also equipped with a four-wheel independent suspension system, which includes a strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It helps to deliver a smooth ride every time, with impressive handling on any type of terrain.

4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive

You’ll also experience better handling and stability thanks to the SUV’s available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system. It can intuitively distribute power between the front and rear wheels as necessary to ensure you always have the traction you need. With 4MOTION® with Active Control, you can proactively adjust your performance with the simple turn of a dial. It includes four available all-wheel drive modes: Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom modes.
