Why it stands out

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan stands out as a compact SUV that leans more towards a premium, car-like feel than a rugged utility-first approach. 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. Power came from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual on the entry model and a six-speed Tiptronic automatic on the rest of the range. That combination helped give the Tiguan a punchy character, even if fuel economy was not one of its strengths.

For 2016, the Tiguan also benefited from the updates introduced for the 2012 model year, which brought sleeker styling and equipment upgrades. It had the kind of interior quality that made it feel like a well-finished product, and owners often praise its driving experience, interior quality, and value for the price. The cabin was not especially flashy, but it was a convincing place to spend time, especially for buyers who wanted a small SUV that felt more polished than many rivals.

There are trade-offs, though. The Tiguan’s reliability reputation is not especially strong, with engine, cooling system, and electrical problems noted in the model’s history, and owners have also raised concerns about the panoramic sunroof. It was also relatively expensive when new and did not deliver great fuel economy, so the 2016 Tiguan is best suited to shoppers who value its driving manners and upscale feel more than outright efficiency or low running costs.
