Prices start from $30,305.

Situated just below the Atlas in Volkswagen's US lineup, this vehicle prioritizes holistic balance over stylistic gimmicks or exceptional acceleration performance. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission serve as the sole powertrains; What it lacks in performance, it makes up for with frugal fuel economy and satisfactory operation. The cabin follows the blueprint, offering ample room for people and cargo, while styling is restrained and purposeful, and the seats remain firm but comfortable. A third row of seats is also available as an option, but it is narrow and only for small children or occasional use.

Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE driver assistance system is now standard on the base S trim and includes adaptive cruise control with lane centering. For 2024, the base S trim also adds automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, a faux leather steering wheel, an upgraded infotainment system and wireless charging. SE R-Line and SEL R-Line Black trims have minor cosmetic upgrades.

The price of the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan starts at $30,305 and goes up to $40,305 depending on equipment and options.

Lift the hood of the 2024 Tiguan and you'll find VW's nearly ubiquitous turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine tuned for 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. Output is sent to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission; Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system is optional. Whether front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the Tiguan delivers athletic, if not breathtaking, performance; This performance is partly helped by the low torque peak at 1900 rpm and smooth gear shifts.

The 2024 Tiguan is quite efficient for the segment, delivering up to 24 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, according to EPA estimates.

The Tiguan's interior is a classic give-and-take situation. It's one of the only models in its segment with an optional third row, and legroom in the front and second rows is increasingly tighter than most rivals. Notably, Tiguans equipped with 4Motion all-wheel drive do not have a third row, and second-row passengers gain about two inches of additional legroom. Other than that, the interior layout is simple, functional but not very stylish. The base Tiguan comes standard with six-way manually adjustable heated front seats with cloth upholstery. The SE adds a power-adjustable driver's seat and faux leather upholstery, among other upgrades; Opting for more expensive versions can net you full power passenger seats, leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof. Cargo space behind the third row is limited to just 12 cubic feet; that's about half a cubic foot less than the Corvette C8's trunk space.
