2017 Volkswagen Tiguan

Combining a 200-horsepower turbocharged engine with precision engineering, the Tiguan ups the bar for driving enjoyment in the compact SUV segment.

New for 2017, the Tiguan adds new trim lines and features. The trim order is now S, Wolfsburg, Sport, and SEL, with more standard content added across the line-up. The base S trim is now fitted with Volkswagen's Composition Media infotainment system, which has a 6.3-inch screen and USB, Bluetooth and VW Car-Net App-Connect technologies for compatible devices. The Composition Media system also includes HD radio, two SD card slots, plus the ability to sync two phones simultaneously.

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan combines the style and sophistication of a sporty, urban compact SUV that caters to an active lifestyle. In profile, the 2017 Tiguan is distinguished by its raked-back windscreen, rising waistline, large side windows, and an unmistakable, trademark C-pillar at the rear. The Wolfsburg model features unique 17-inch "Novara" wheels, a full power driver's seat, and unique badging.

Engineered to accommodate available 4Motion all-wheel drive, the Tiguan's design reflects its ability to conquer a variety of terrain and weather conditions. Always ready for action, the 2017 Tiguan is designed to be a carry-all for fun gear. The robust roof rails, standard on all trims, can accommodate an array of accessories such as bike racks, or kayak and surfboard carriers. The available towing hitch accepts an attachment to carry up to four bikes, or can be used to pull up to 2,200 pounds.

The 2017 Tiguan comes with Volkswagen's 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque from just 1700 rpm (on premium fuel). The Tiguan's 2.0T engine comes standard with a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with Sport mode, and Dynamic Shift Program.
