The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, the first-generation of VW's compact crossover SUV, offered three trims: S, SE, and SEL. Under the hood, it packed a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 200 horsepower and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, with an available manual transmission for the S trim. The Tiguan featured front-wheel drive standard, with all-wheel drive optional. Interior highlights included a premium eight-speaker audio system, a trip computer, and an optional touchscreen navigation system. Though the Tiguan might not have been the roomiest vehicle in its class, it offered solid performance, upscale interior, and plenty of standard features that underscored Volkswagen’s reputation for sophistication and premium build quality.
