Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The 2.0 TDI 138bhp Tiguan is the most popular version for good reason - it’s affordable to run, good to drive and the most competitively priced model in the range. The 168bhp version of this engine isn’t worth the extra it’ll cost, but if you must have high-ish performance, the 2.0 TSI 200 is a worthy flagship for this range of road-biased SUVs.

The 1.4 TSI is short of the low-down urge most owners will want, but (like several models in the range) it comes with two- as well as four-wheel drive. We prefer the 2WD cars because they’re cheaper to buy and run, and better to drive.

You shouldn’t have to haggle too hard to get a decent saving on any Tiguan. That's a good thing, because there are plenty of equally accomplished rivals available for less, and the VW's high list prices could easily put buyers off. However, resale values are among the best in class.
