Inside the Tiguan

Car and Driver

The team at Car and Driver scored the 2024 Tiguan a 9 out of 10, ranking it #3 among other compact SUVs.

“…the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan strives to escape the genericism of the compact-crossover segment with reserved but tasteful sheet metal, sharp handling, and European spirit,” writes Car and Driver Associate Editor Andrew Wendler. “… it prioritizes a holistic balance over stylistic gimmickry or extraordinary acceleration performance.”

Wendler remarks that the vehicle’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission has economical fuel economy and is satisfying to handle. He also speaks about the ample cargo and seating space.

“The cabin follows the blueprint, offering decent space for people and cargo while the styling remains reserved and purposeful and the seats firm but comfortable,” said Wendler. “While the Tiguan’s feature content is class-competitive, its crisp handling and overall well-rounded personality make for an appealing and enjoyable driving experience,” said Wendler

The team at Kelley Blue Book also gave the Tiguan a favorable 4 out of 5 stars, placing it #10 in the Best Compact SUVs of 2024 and 2025. The KBB’s review writer Colin Ryan notes that it’s rare to see a compact SUV offer three-row seating.

“Offering accommodation for seven is one way of hooking attention while competing in a class bristling with excellent rivals,” said Ray. “… Volkswagen has set up the Tiguan for smoothness instead of sportiness. That’s logical; it pleases more people more of the time.”

Ray notes that though this compact SUV is heavier than some of its rivals, it is satisfying to drive.

“Not much effort is required for steering or braking, and comfort is baked into the suspension settings,” said Ray. “A traditional shift lever is most welcome in an era when many manufacturers are migrating to buttons.”

Ray also lists the team’s favorite features and technology from the Tiguan. These include:

  • Digital Cockpit
  • VW Car-Net
  • Emergency Assist
  • Ambient LED lighting
  • All-wheel drive
  • Park Assist
