The VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN (2007-11) 5DR SUV 4WD 2.0 TSI 170 SE is a compact family SUV offering a higher driving position and four-wheel drive in a useful package. It sits alongside rivals including the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V for buyers wanting extra space and confidence over a conventional hatchback. It suits families and commuters who value a roomy cabin, flexible everyday use and added grip in poor weather, though the petrol engine may cost more to run than a smaller hatchback. Mycarcheck has recorded 92 checks across 26 distinct VINs; average mileage is 107,000, with 5,000 miles driven yearly. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol gives Tiguan brisk performance, while SE offers a comfortable, well-equipped feel. Its four-wheel drive is a distinction from many hatchbacks, though fuel and maintenance costs deserve attention. Mycarcheck data puts average private-sale value at £3,200, with roughly three previous keepers, so check car’s history and condition.
