The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan competes in one of the most crowded & sought-after segments in the automotive industry: the compact sport utility vehicle. As such, it faces some pretty tough competition from its rivals. That said, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan's bold styling and industry-leading creature comforts help it stand out from the pack. Here are five unique features and characteristics of the Tiguan that make it a worthy addition to any family in need of a safe, fun-to-drive & versatile compact SUV.

It’s a turbocharged engine

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 184 horsepower and over 220 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for impressive efficiency and linear power delivery. The new Tiguan is one of the most powerful compact SUVs overall with more torque out of the gate than any of its rivals. The 2019 Tiguan is also extremely fuel efficient, sipping just 8.3L/100km. That'll get you from Kelowna to Calgary on a single tank- nice!

It’s interior space

There is over 1,000 litres of cargo space behind the Tiguan’s rear seats. That puts Volkswagen’s compact SUV among the top 5 in versatility in its segment. It also means that the new Tiguan is among the few models to offer an optional third row in this class: perfect for a growing family.

It’s safety

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan can be equipped with some of the most advanced driver assistance technologies offered on the market today. Examples include adaptive cruise control, automatic braking and forward collision warning, and lane departure warning and prevention.

It’s refinement

It's balanced on the road

The Tiguan was designed in Germany and features many of the characteristics we typically expect to find on high-performance luxury German vehicles, namely the overall feeling of stability and solidity it provides.

It has ample power when you need it, and its comfort stands out both in the city and on the highway.
