The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV that can seat up to seven passengers when equipped with its optional third row, a rarity in this class. The Tiguan has generous space for both cargo and passengers, a premium-feeling interior, and easy-to-use technology. It also has an impressive level of standard equipment across all trim levels, including a mobile app that allows you to lock the doors, start the vehicle remotely, and help locate where you parked.
