Why it stands out

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan stands out as a compact SUV that leans more towards comfort and practicality than flash. It offers a spacious interior, easy-to-use controls, and plenty of safety technology, which helps explain why it appeals to family buyers. It is also a good deal if you can find a well-looked-after example at the right price, and the second-generation Tiguan in particular is described as a decent value with the flexibility of a seven-seat layout.

What makes this generation distinctive is its size and packaging. The North American Tiguan introduced for 2018 was more than 26 centimetres longer than the first-generation model, and that extra length allowed for a seven-seat configuration as the default layout. It also came with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive as standard, while 4Motion all-wheel drive was standard on all other trims. Inside, it was more modern than before, with a sharp-edged design and either a 6.5-inch or eight-inch touchscreen depending on trim level.

There are some trade-offs, though. The second-generation Tiguan had a less responsive driving experience than the first, even if it still felt solid and reassuring from behind the wheel. Reliability is another concern, with reports of engine and electric troubles as well as infotainment system glitches. For buyers who value space, comfort, and everyday usefulness over outright performance, the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan remains an appealing choice.
