VW Tiguan<\/p><\/div>\n

No more diesel options for VW\u2019s Tiguan, however the two petrol engines deliver nice, smooth power and decent response.\u00a0 One of the 2.0-litre petrol Turbo units puts out 132 kW and 320 Nm, while the other jumps to 162 kW and 350 Nm.\u00a0 Allspace models add a third row of seats to make it possible to carry seven occupants including the driver.<\/p>\n

Handy 4×4 systems make the 2020 VW Tiguan pretty good for going off-road.\u00a0 5-star safety and decent fuel consumption rates all add up to making the pleasant Tiguan easy to live with and very handy to have when you want to escape for the weekend.\u00a0 The Tiguan interiors are smart and well put together.<\/p>\n
