Mini SUV or maxi hatchback, the 2014 VW Tiguan 4motion fits both descriptions.
I found this spirited, four-door utility vehicle a fun and easy car to drive, particularly to park. The quick and tight turning radius and squared-off front and rear make this a great choice as a city crossover. The smallish dimensions belie a roomy rear seat, comfortable for two, but cargo space runs smaller than competitors, even with the back seats down. The ride is quiet and compliant even on rough roads.
Jump into the driver's seat and you're snug behind the familiar and well-made VW cockpit. All the controls are intuitive and well placed. The updated touch screen radio makes working your way around the dial a lot easier than clunky earlier models. The leatherette seating material was comfortable, very supportive and attractive, but I still find the VW cloth options a little more to my liking.
The SE is well equipped with many of the upgraded features demanded by consumers including Bluetooth, a back up camera, keyless entry and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The hands-free phone has better audio quality than many I've tested in a while, although the setup through the small dashboard display took a few more steps than some models.
The 2.0 liter 200 horsepower turbocharged engine is a feisty motor offering plenty of pop for this car and highway mileage was about 26 miles per gallon — around town you'll only get about 20 mpg. You have to run high octane to get the best performance out of this engine, but I thought it provided some fun exhaust notes. The all-wheel drive mated to a six-speed automatic really helps keep this tall vehicle on its pins and actually makes for decent handling. It's still a working truck that will get the kids to practice and then let you hit the home goods store for building supplies and yet still be a good commuter.
While many VW's have the striking elan of German styling, the Tiguan is content with its conservative features. There's some gentle body curves that help lead your eye along the car's waist and a small spoiler on the rear that completes the tailgate.
It's tall, giving you plenty of headroom, and it doesn't feel crowded while the squared nose and tail make for nifty maneuvering in tight spots.
In a very crowded field that includes cars such as the Kia Sportage, Mazda 5, Ford Escape and Nissan Rogue, the MSRP of $32,440 delivered pushes toward the high side of the competition.
