The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is a handsome, practical compact SUV that serves well as a commuter. It’s fairly spacious, and an optional third row (though small) makes it a rarity in its class. However, touch-sensitive controls can make the user experience frustrating. The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is a competent commuter and daily driver, but its engine is unlikely to excite and can feel labored on the highway. The ride is smooth under most circumstances, and the steering is sharp.
Engine Options, Horsepower and Acceleration
- Engine: turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque
- Drivetrain: standard front-wheel drive; available all-wheel drive
- Transmission: eight-speed automatic
The Tiguan’s turbo-four has decent power for city driving, but the VW occasionally trips itself up during low-speed inputs. Pedal-down acceleration is mediocre, though the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly.
MPG Estimates
The 2024 Tiguan’s fuel economy estimates are about average for a compact SUV. Front-wheel-drive models get 23 to 24 mpg in the city and 30 to 31 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel-drive models get 22/29 mpg city/highway.
Handling and Braking
The Tiguan has a supple and refined ride. Mixed with well-weighted steering and good handling, this makes the Tiguan a pleasure to drive. Also, the brakes are easy to modulate. Volkswagen covers the 2024 Tiguan with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.
