Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan is Volkswagen's compact crossover SUV, launched in 2007 as Volkswagen's first car-based SUV (predating the smaller T-Roc and T-Cross). The original Tiguan was based on the Golf Mk5 platform and was positioned below the Touareg in the lineup.

The Tiguan has been a perennial top-five-selling Volkswagen globally and has been the company's highest-volume SUV in most markets. The Tiguan grew substantially with the second generation (AD1, 2016), and Volkswagen began offering a stretched three-row Tiguan Allspace / Tiguan Long-wheelbase specifically for North America and China — making the North-American Tiguan distinct from the European model. The third-generation Tiguan launched in 2024 with both standard and long-wheelbase variants. North-American Tiguans are built at Volkswagen de México in Puebla.
