About the Tiguan
The Tiguan is a crossover SUV built by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen.
Sold onwards from 2007, the first generation was initially shown at the LA Auto Show and built upon the PQ46 Platform; a platform shared by the Skoda Superb, Volkswagen CC, VW Passat and the VW Sharan.
For the European market there were a number of different trim levels (region-specific) and for the United States customers could choose from the S, SE and SEL.
A number of premium features were installed as one would expect, such as semi-automatic climate control, electronic parking brake, child seat anchors, six airbags and a trailer stability program.

Available in two-wheelbase options, the short-wheelbase version could seat up to five passengers with the long-wheelbase capable of seating 7.
Volkswagen brought out a performance-based version called the Tiguan R which was released in conjunction with the facelift of 2020 and was powered by a 2-liter turbocharged engine producing 316 bhp (an engine that it shared with the VW Arteon R and the Mk8 Golf R.
