Test Drive 2017 VW Tiguan by Concord NC

The interior is one of the things that differentiates the VW Tiguan from the other cars in the very crowded compact SUV field. Everything is very exact and well-fitted and upscale materials such as soft touch plastics dominate the interior. The standard upholstery is a very comfortable and easy to clean V-Tex synthetic leather, with real leather being the standard on the high-end SEL model and available on all others as an option. The dashboard is very clean and easy to navigate, with both intuitive buttons and a large 6.3-inch LCD screen for the infotainment features. And speaking of features, the Tiguan can be fitted out with many features that could be considered luxury category, such as in-dash navigation, panoramic sunroof, keyless ignition and rain-sensing windshield wipers. We welcome you in to check it out yourself and play with all of the toys!

The Tiguan?s exterior boldly bucks the current trend towards swooping curves and rounded shapes, instead being built around a more conventional design language that has been popular with Volkswagen over the past decade. The front of the crossover is especially emblematic of VW?s current design trends with its three-line grille and straight lines matching the seams of the car?s hood. However, look at it next to other Volkswagen vehicles at our VW dealership serving Concord Charlotte Huntersville North Carolina, and the Tiguan rapidly takes on a life of its own. Unlike the smaller Volkswagens, the front bumper continues further down at a rakish angle, where it is flanked by large fog light bays, giving the car a rugged and sporty appearance. It?s roof, on the other hand, is curved slightly sharper than on the larger Touareg, giving it a more compact look. In the end, the Tiguan is a tastefully designed vehicle that still gets its point across - it is a car for going where you want and when you want.

Though there is only one engine and transmission choice in the Tiguan, it is still a fast and nicely handling car, injecting a bit of sporty feeling into a vehicle class where that is usually an afterthought. The Tiguan is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission and putting out 200 horsepower, and available in both a front-wheel and all-wheel drive configuration. Both handle very well in terms of both steering a suspension. The former is weighted and precise, easily directing the tall car around turns, while the latter strikes a great balance between passenger comfort and minimizing body roll. It is a car that is fun to drive and almost makes you forget you are driving an SUV rather than a sedan.
