Used Volkswagen Tiguan Crossover 2007 - 2016 review

The Tiguan's engine range is designed with economy in mind, and we prefer the refined and efficient 138bhp Bluemotion version of the 2.0-litre diesel.

Despite its 4x4 looks, the Tiguan isn't really built for off-road use, but VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive system is available across the range. It is an advantage in slippery conditions, but pushes up running costs.

All trims are well equipped, but we would bypass entry-level S and pick SE, if you can find one, because the extra kit it offers is worth the surplus you might have to pay.

Our favourite VW Tiguan: 2.0 TDI 140 SE
