The Volkswagen Tiguan is an attractive and stylish compact crossover that can, unusually for an SUV in this class, seat either five or seven. And while the model has been a strong seller since it was launched in 2007, for the new model year the lineup has been given a major refresh to improve it even further. The new 2022 VW Tiguan is coming to Kanata soon, and here's why you should be first in line to reserve a test drive.
Smooth Power Under the Hood
Every trim in the 2022 Tiguan range is fitted with a powerful 2.0L turbo engine making 184 horsepower and 221lb-ft of torque. Considering this VW's relatively small dimensions, the output is ample for a sporty and responsive drive. The engine is paired with a smooth but spritely eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive standard in the Canadian market.
Attractive Fuel Economy
But even considering the amount of power available, the Tiguan boasts some impressive fuel economy figures. Official ratings put the 2022 model at 10.2L / 100km in the city and just 7.8L on the highway, an impressive achievement for an all-wheel drive SUV with a large turbo engine.
Interior and Infotainment
The Tiguan's interior follows the traditional VW blueprint of being uncluttered, unfussy, and carefully designed for convenience and comfort. Power seating with cloth upholstery is standard, while higher trims can upgrade to faux leather for an extra upscale feel.
Infotainment is handled by a large glass touchscreen display, 6.5" at the entry level but 8" across the rest of the the range, with standard features including a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Unusually at this price point, a fully configurable digital instrument display is standard across the range, measuring either 8" or 10.3" depending on the trim.
Driver Assist and Active Safety
The 2022 Tiguan is available with a wide range of safety and driver assist features, which you can configure to offer as little or as much as you need. Key available options include forward collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode.
