VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN

The 2011 version of the VW Tiguan targets compact SUV and Crossover customers alike with a high quality. All the 4x4 you'll ever need. The Tiguan has always been smartly styled. Under the skin, this improved design uses a tougher modular sub frame that's partly steel and should be better able to withstand off road buffeting. At the wheel, you'd certainly think you were in a Golf were it not for the slightly raised driving position. The leather-trimmed wheel feels good to hold, is adjustable for both reach and rake and is perfectly positioned for quality switchgear that falls nicely to hand. It's a practical cabin too, with door bins that can accommodate a sizeable drinks bottle, plus there's a cooled glovebox, plenty of cupholders. If you're not using the middle part of the seat, it can be folded down to make an armrest with cupholder. Out back, there's 470-litres of total boot space. You can carry quite heavy loads too, thanks to a payload capacity of 670kg
