The VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN (2007-11) 5DR SUV 4WD 2.0 TSI 200 SPORT is a compact, five-door family SUV, combining a raised driving position and four-wheel drive with a lively petrol engine. It sits among practical alternatives to the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga, with a more premium-feeling take on the everyday small SUV. It suits families wanting easier access, useful cabin space and confidence on slippery roads, as well as commuters who value a comfortable, commanding view. The 200 Sport’s strong performance makes joining traffic and overtaking feel relaxed, though its petrol engine is less likely to appeal to drivers prioritising low fuel bills. Compared with many rivals, it brings Volkswagen’s restrained styling and a more engaging, brisk feel. mycarcheck.com recorded 38 checks across 23 VINs, with an average private-sale valuation of £3,400.
