Volkswagen Tiguan 2 (AD)

Mid-Size Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Volkswagen Tiguan 2 (chassis code AD) is a compact crossover in production from 2016 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.

Now sharing its design with the mid-size Touareg and large Atlas, the Tiguan Mk2 is decidedly more handsome than the original. Unfortunately, its engine lineup is downsized and somewhat pathetic.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Volkswagen Tiguan II comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan feels like a definite step up in performance and comfort. In many economy crossovers, the rear suspension feels like an afterthought. VW has one of the best warranties on the market, covering the 2019 Tiguan from bumper to bumper for six years or 72,000 miles.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent fuel economy
Comfortable ride quality

Cons

Lack of advanced safety tech
