Find your perfect Tiguan

Cars available now

The new VW Tiguan offers generous space for occupants, a big boot and fine driving manners, but its higher costs count against it. A Skoda Karoq is better value, while the Volvo XC40 can be had for the same cost as a mid-rung Tiguan. For private buyers, the 1.5 TSI 150 Life is the one to go for, while company car drivers will be better off with the eHybrid.

Life trim adds larger 18in alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, wireless phone-charging and adaptive cruise control.

This higher powered version of the eTSI engine produces 148bhp and trims the 0-62mph time to 9.1 seconds. Top speed remains 130mph.
