The VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN (2007-11) 5DR SUV 4WD 1.4 TSI 150 S is a compact, five-door family SUV, offering a higher driving position and four-wheel drive in a size suited to everyday UK roads. It sits among practical alternatives such as the Ford Kuga and Toyota RAV4, with Volkswagen’s neat, understated styling and familiar cabin appeal. The 1.4-litre petrol engine gives this Tiguan a more responsive feel than many family SUVs of its age, while the S trim keeps the emphasis on straightforward everyday use. It can suit small families, couples and commuters wanting extra space and confidence in poor weather, though running costs and condition deserve attention in an older four-wheel-drive vehicle. mycarcheck.com recorded 156 look-ups covering 58 different VINs, a useful but not huge snapshot.
