The VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN (2007-11) 5DR SUV 2WD 1.4 TSI 150 S 6SPD is a compact, five-door family SUV, offering a higher driving position and more cabin flexibility than a conventional hatchback. In the UK, it sits among practical, mainstream crossovers, appealing to buyers wanting Volkswagen familiarity without the size of a large off-roader. The 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine gives this front-wheel-drive Tiguan a useful blend of everyday response and family practicality. It suits commuting, school runs and weekend trips, especially for small families or couples who value a roomy, easy-to-drive vehicle. The S trim keeps things straightforward, while the Tiguan’s solid, restrained design and comfortable feel helped it compete with popular rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga.
