Over the years, Volkswagen has made a reputation for itself by designing tremendously sleek and sporty vehicles. However, the versatile 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan brings something new to the table with its superior handling and off-road capability.

Between Greenville, New Bern, and Wilson, you may often switch from highway to suburban to off-road driving. The Tiguan is the perfect fit for this lifestyle. To show you, our team at Pecheles Volkswagen has put together this detailed vehicle review.

Safety: The Top Priority

Above all else, Volkswagen cares about the safety of its passengers. That's why they've gone to such great lengths to make the Tiguan such a rigid, protective vehicle. This initiative begins in the very framework of the SUV.The steel-stamped unitary body in the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan includes two solid mounted sub-frames and bolt-on front fenders. Anti-intrusion side door beams and a crash optimized front end are then added to ensure that in the event of a collision, everyone in the passenger cabin will be safe from impacts.

The brake system in the Tiguan is more advanced than ever before with a brake disc drying feature and override system. With these enhancements, your vehicle will have precise, instantaneous stopping power whenever you need it.

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Interior

When a driver gets behind the wheel of a Volkswagen vehicle, they're expecting a certain level of comfort and class. The Tiguan exceeds these expectations with its V-Tex leatherette trim and heated front seats.

Passengers will have a little extra room to move with 95.4 cubic feet of space, including 39.1 inches of headroom and 40.1 inches of legroom for the driver. Cargo space is also at a high with 23.8 cubic feet. You should never have to share space with your luggage!As you'd expect, the entertainment system in the Tiguan is acoustically robust. Eight speakers provide a full-bodied sound that you can easily control using the touchscreen. Connect music with USB, Bluetooth®, or by using the SD card reader. You'll have access to thousands of songs.

Performance Specs

High safety and interior comfort are great, but to complete the package, a car needs some impressive performance specs. And of course, the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan rises to the challenge.

The 2.0L inline 4-cylinder under the hood has been turbocharged, which allows it to generate ample amounts of power without compromising fuel efficiency. Drivers can maintain 24 highway MPG and 20 city MPG,¹ all while generating up to 200 horsepower.

Of course, the Tiguan has the handling to match this power. The available 4MOTION all-wheel drive system delivers precise control, so you can maintain control even when driving on loose or slippery roads.
