VW Tiguan Inventory


The Volkswagen Tiguan has a plethora of exterior features that give it a leading edge when compared with other top compact SUVs. Its roof rails come as part of the standard trim, unlike the Honda CR-V or the Mazda CX-5, which don't have the option of having them at all. 

Its 20-inch alloy wheels give it a large lift off the ground, making it higher than all of its competitor compact SUVs! Unlike the Ford Escape, the Volkswagen Tiguan comes equipped with a panoramic sunroof, so you can enjoy the view on the long car rides to come.
