The five-seat Tiguan is Volkswagen’s answer to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 compact SUVs. It’s powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and is available with front- or all-wheel drive. A performance-oriented R-Line version of the Tiguan debuts for 2014.
SE trim level adds heated seats, simulated leather upholstery and iPod connectivity while the new SE with Appearance version gets keyless access with push-button start and a backup camera. SEL models gain Fender premium audio system.
Volkswagen’s Car-Net communication system is also available for the Tiguan. It includes services like roadside assistance, crash notification and stolen vehicle location assistance as well as boundary and speed alerts, a vehicle health report and an enhanced point-of-interest service for vehicles with navigation. All Car-Net features can also be administered by a smartphone app.
