Put a few miles on the all-new Tiguan, and listen to the passengers spew more than a few accolades. The five-seat SUV has ample head and legroom for front and rear seat passengers. Following a 45-minute ride, back seat riders praised the high-profile seat, and the driver appreciated being able to see faces in the rearview mirror rather than hairlines. The middle seatback can pull-down to provide rear occupants with two molded-in-place cupholders (a compliment to the two adjustable cupholders on the back side of the center console) and an armrest. The three-headrest, 60/40-split fold rear seat can move six inches fore and aft. Pull straps can be used to adjust the rear seat backs’ recline positions. With rear seat in upright position, the cargo volume exceeds 23 cubic feet (more than 56 cubic feet with rear seat folded). Tiguan isn’t bashful when pedal-pushed to provide some hustle. The gasoline-turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine pumps out 200 horsepower (between 5100 and 6000 rpm) and 207 pounds-feet of torque (between 1700 and 5000 rpm). Engine can be mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The crossover SUV, sold in front wheel drive or 4Motion all-wheel drive, provides six standard airbags and offers rear side airbags as an option. The interior appointments include an optional DVD navigation system with a camera view of the back-of-vehicle shown on a 6.5-inch display screen. Tiguan is available in three trims (S, SE, and SEL) with the base trim priced at $23,200. The test-driven Tiguan SEL 4Motion with automatic transmission collected estimated mpg of 18 city and 24 highway and carried a MSRP of $32,940.
