Why it stands out

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan stands out as a compact SUV that leans more towards a premium, driver-focused feel than a purely practical one. It was conceived with a smooth and responsive drive in mind, and its front-wheel drive layout was standard on the base Trendline trim, with 4Motion all-wheel drive available on that trim and standard on the Comfortline and Highline trims. Power came from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, which gave it punchy performance, even if fuel economy was not one of its strengths.

Inside, the Tiguan felt like a quality product, and its updated styling for the 2012 model year gave it a sleeker front end along with equipment upgrades. The 2013 model year also brought an R-Line package with a sportier appearance, thanks to side skirts, a rear spoiler, and extended wheel arches. Buyers looking at a used 2016 model may also appreciate that the Tiguan’s cabin was generally well regarded for its quality and that owners often praise its driving experience and value for the price.

The main trade-off is reliability. The model has a weaker reputation in this area, with engine, cooling system, and electrical problems noted, and the source also points to issues such as turbo failure, intake manifold failure, slipping timing chains, and infotainment glitches across the first generation. That means the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan can be appealing if you want a compact SUV with a more polished feel and strong road manners, but it is best approached with careful inspection and a thorough test drive.
