The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV with seating for five. With a quiet, upscale interior and comfortable ride, the Tiguan looks and feels like a more premium vehicle. Thanks to its punchy turbocharged engine and agreeable handling, you'll find the Tiguan is fun to drive too. But that extra performance can hurt fuel economy, and the Tiguan doesn't offer quite as much cargo capacity as some compact SUVs.
