VW’s 2019 Tiguan’s excellent steering and pedal response -- expected attributes of any VW -- contribute to an overall driving feel that’s among the best in the segment. Highway ride is firmer than that of some other small SUVs, but excellent seats, a quiet cabin and superior steering feel qualify the new Tiguan as an excellent long-haul companion. While the Tiguan’s turbocharged engine generates impressive horsepower and torque, a base Tiguan is a whopping 450 pounds heavier than a base Honda CR-V. City scooting and highway cruising are barely impacted, but the added mass is evident in highway merging and passing situations. Although the Tiguan is a bit longer than most compact SUVs, good outward visibility and a decent turning diameter combine to make it a breeze in parking lots. The Tiguan also offers a host of available technologies that make parking maneuvers even easier. Rear Traffic Alert with Braking will warn you of cars coming down the aisle you’re backing into, and can automatically stop the car if necessary. The Overhead View Camera provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings, an increasingly common feature that remains among our favorites. Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking incorporates front and rear parking sensors that warn you of close objects and can even stop the car if you’re about to back into something.
6-YEAR/72,000-MILE WARRANTY While Hyundai and Kia are famous for their long powertrain warranty, VW’s upends everyone with an amazing 6-year or 72,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty that’s fully transferable. For those who still have misgivings about VW long-term reliability, this new warranty goes a long way to alleviating those fears. APPLE CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTO Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow smartphone integration with the car’s infotainment and audio systems. Need directions? You can access Google Maps. Want to listen to your favorite music? Just use your favorite music app. You can even receive and dictate text messages without ever touching your phone.
VW has always delivered when it comes to interior design and craftsmanship, and the 2019 Tiguan SUV continues the tradition. There are loads of storage spaces, with a large bin containing the power and USB ports within easy reach of the driver and passenger. Seats are on the firm side but supportive with good bolstering. The padded center armrest is in just the right spot, but is missing the convenient ratcheting height-adjustable feature offered on other VWs. The second row both slides and reclines, with a 40/20/40 split to allow for various combinations of passengers and cargo. The available 3rd-row seat is pretty small, and probably only fit for short trips with even shorter occupants, but it’s a nice feature to have in a pinch. Five-passenger models provide an impressive 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space, a bit less than the Nissan Rogue but more than the Ford Escape or Subaru Forester. A motion-activated rear tailgate is triggered by waving your foot under the bumper and will automatically close itself after detecting the key fob has moved out of range.
The Tiguan’s distinctive and well-tailored look is sure to be among its bigger draws. Although the new Hyundai Santa Fe is nearly two inches longer, few other compact SUVs come close to the Tiguan’s size. VW’s creased design is reserved but attractive, with a set of sophisticated LED taillights that exude a premium look and feel. SEL Premium models feature LED headlights and cool daytime running lights, while the available R-Line package gives the Tiguan a sportier look that includes unique, larger wheels.
While Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are finally starting to become more common in the category, in the new Tiguan they’re included as standard equipment as part of the Car-Net App-Connect package. Also included in the Tiguan’s base price are the 3rd-row seat, a 6.5-inch touch-screen infotainment system, Bluetooth and USB smartphone connectivity, a rearview camera, and a 40/20/40-split/sliding/reclining/fold-flat 2nd-row seat.
In addition to a range of active-safety technologies and traditional upgrades like leather seats and premium audio, Tiguan option highlights include a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, a bird’s-eye parking camera, keyless entry/start, a hands-free liftgate with walk-away closing, and a 12.3-inch customizable digital instrument panel. As for VW’s Car-Net infotainment system, stepping up to the subscription-based Security & Service group adds capabilities like remote vehicle lock/unlock, automatic crash notification, and the parent-friendly Family Guardian with features including remote speed and boundary alerts. The range-topping Guide & Inform group includes built-in navigation plus the subscription-based SiriusXM Travel Link that includes traffic and weather info, plus local fuel prices, sports scores and movie information.
The front-wheel-drive (FWD) Volkswagen Tiguan for 2019 weighs in at a hefty 3,777 pounds, qualifying it as the heavyweight champion of the category. As such, its EPA fuel economy ratings are on the low side of the category average, but for most drivers it works out to just an extra gallon or two per month. The added mass also takes a toll on acceleration, even with 221 lb-ft of torque on tap from 1,600 rpm. The Tiguan’s available 4Motion all-wheel-drive (AWD) system features a mechanical center differential and electronic differential locks, allowing it to transfer power front-to-back and side-to-side. The system also includes a variety of driver-selectable modes, including On-Road, Snow, Off-Road and Custom Off-Road. Within the On-Road mode are four additional settings: Normal, Sport, Eco and Custom. Combined with 7.9 inches of ground clearance, a 4Motion-equipped Tiguan should deliver as much foul-weather and off-road capability and confidence as most anything in the segment. The sole transmission is an 8-speed automatic, and towing capacity is 1,500 pounds. 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 184 horsepower @ 4,400-6,000 rpm 221 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600-4,300 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/29 mpg (FWD), 21/29 mpg (AWD)
The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan starts at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $ 25,290 and tops out around $ 40,000 with all the bells and whistles. While the big new warranty will decrease ownership costs for some and likely increase resale values, it’s unlikely the new Tiguan’s overall cost of ownership will match those of the segment’s proven value leaders. So, generally speaking, it’s likely you’ll pay more to drive a Tiguan than you would a comparably equipped Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4, for instance. But spending a little more for the vehicle you prefer is sometimes the smart choice.

The 2018 model year Volkswagen Tiguan was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show being specially engineered to meet the needs of American customers.
Built on a new MQB platform, the second generation Volkswagen Tiguan hit the market in 2016, coming as a more sporty, meaner-looking and better performing compact crossover.
The history of the “People's Car”, Volkswagen, begins on May 28th 1937 when the “Geselschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagen mbH” company is created. A year later it is renamed into “Volkswagenwerk GmbH” has it's headquarters established in Wolfsburg, a city especially created for the workers on the Volkswagen plant that are going to mass produce Hitler's dream car for the average German, designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
But Hitler's plans weren't going to materialize because WWII started and the plant switched production to armaments and the vehicles under the VW logo went to the army of the Third Reich. After the war, the plant at Wolfsburg went under Allied control, British to be specific, and under the supervision of Major Ivan Hirst, Volkswagen began the mass production of the Type 1, or the Beetle as it would come to be known throughout the world.
Initial sales abroad were disastrous, but through clever advertising, the Beetle gained popularity with the young crowd and from 1945 to 1955 numbers reached the 1 million mark. Meanwhile, sometime at the end of the 40s, Volkswagen also introduced the Type 2, a people carrier, known as the “VW Bully”.
Even through the 60s and 70s, the Beetle manages to stay on top of sales, despite the fact that it was becoming obsolete. Reliability, easy maintenance and reduced fuel consumption made the car remain a consumer favorite. On February 17th 1972, Volkswagen celebrated selling over 15 million units of the Beetle sold, thus surpassing the Ford Model T as the most popular car in the world, a title which it still holds to this day.
Despite the success it had with the Beetle, by the beginning of the 70s, Volkswagen AG was in dire need of new models to replace the aging Beetle. The help came from Audi/Auto Union, which WV had bought back in the sixties. They brought with them the knowledge for front-wheel drive vehicles and water-cooled engines.
In 1974, the first Golf rolls out of the factory's door and becomes and instant hit. Marketed as the Rabbit in the United States and Canada, it was responsible for putting Volkswagen back on the map. That same year, a more sporty model, the Scirocco makes it's way onto the Volkswagen line up. For the smaller car market, the German car maker came up with the Polo in 1976, which was quite popular throughout Western Europe.
The next decade saw Volkswagen trying to improve their products with new generations of all the older models and expanding their influence by taking over Spanish manufacturer Seat and the Czech-based Skoda Auto.
As the 90s rolled in, VW-owned Audi became a direct competitor for BMW and Mercedes-Benz with products designed for a more pretentious market. This left a void in the general market which Volkswagen now tried to fill. The third generation vehicles now came with better quality and standards. Gradually, new luxury models were introduced, like the Touareg, a premium off-road vehicle.
In the last decade, Volkswagen has been busy trying to set records when it comes to CO2 emissions and fuel-efficient technologies. This applies to their normal engines, running on gas and diesel, but they are also developing hybrids.
2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Consumer Reviews

"2018 VW Tiguan, one year old"
I have owned my 2018 Tuguan for one year now, have driven 2700 miles. I have had one problem, the driver seat memory buttons have stopped working. Have not taken it to dealer yet. I am 86 and the Tiguan has sufficient power for me. I have only driven in the Houston city area, no highway trips. I picked it because it is small enough to fit in my limited parking at my Daughter's condo. It also has a power lift gate and room for hauling my walker.
It drives very well and the 8 speed automatic does a good job. I think I know something about handling having done SCCA club racing and autocrossing in many sport cars. I haven't owned a VW in many years, and owned a Mini Countryman and a Kia Soul before the Tiguan.
I would recommended it for my use.

"Great vehicle"
I'm a huge VW fan and have owned numerous VW's over the last 20 years. The 2019 Tiguan SEL is my 1st experience with an SUV. I bought mine in Metallic Habanero Orange with black leatherette seats and compliments abound from friends and family. I have found the vehicle to be stylish,comfortable & quiet. I've experienced higher than advertised fuel economy & regular gasoline is all that is required. The Tiguan SEL abounds with technology such as a blind spot monitor, autonomous braking, rear cross traffic, just to name a few. The cargo area is quite large and made larger with the 2nd row seats folded down. The 3rd row seating is small but will work in a pinch with my grandchildren.Read less

"2019 Tiguan SEL 4 MOTION"
I just bought a 2019 VW Tiguan SEL 4MOTION . Black exterior Black Interior. The inside is very sleek techy comfortable and the cabin is quiet when driving. The only gripe I have with this car is the very small low center console and the power of the engine , although it does have a Turbo starting from a green light the power is very minimal. Handles very well and has a quiet smooth ride. Ive never owned a VW before and this is my first and so far I absolutely love it and everyone that has seen it and the few I let drive it , love it.
