Who benefits from buying a Volkswagen Tiguan: why it is a popular crossover

The Volkswagen Tiguan has long held a place in the top three most sought-after crossovers in Ukraine. And that is no accident. This is a car that feels equally at home in dense city traffic, on the motorway and on a broken dirt road to a country house. Buyers value it for its predictable behaviour, quality cabin and wide choice of trim levels. The Volkswagen Tiguan's price on the used market holds steady. That is an indicator of the model's good liquidity. People decide to buy a Tiguan for a number of reasons: 1. Versatility – one car covers the needs of daily city driving, family use and travel. 2. Comfort in the city – adaptive suspension, a quiet cabin, a comfortable seating position. 3. Comfort on the motorway – stability at speed, ergonomics, cruise control. 4. Ground clearance of 190-200 mm – copes with poor roads without drama. 5. Safety – consistently high Euro NCAP scores, many active systems. 6. Liquidity – a used Tiguan sells well and holds its value. 7. Many trim levels — from Trendline to R-Line, there is something for every budget. The Tiguan may not suit those who need a 7-seat crossover. In that case it is better to look at the Tiguan Allspace or the Skoda Kodiaq. Those looking for minimal running costs should also look at other options. Repairing DSG and 4Motion requires a budget.

How to choose a Tiguan for your needs: city, family, motorway, winter

Before opening the filters and browsing listings, it is worth answering a few questions honestly: where do you drive most often, how many people do you carry, does winter driving on rough ground matter. The Tiguan's price is not the only criterion. The choice of generation, engine, gearbox and drivetrain depends on the specifics of use. Used Tiguans come in different configurations. The option for a city dweller differs radically from what a family with children or a lover of active leisure needs. So before buying a Volkswagen Tiguan, it is worth taking the conditions of use into account.

For the city – what matters

In the city the Tiguan shows its practical side. The crossover's dimensions allow stress-free parking in most courtyards and car parks (especially compared with full-size SUVs). The high seating position gives good visibility in traffic, and a rear-view camera or parking sensors (present in most trims from 2017) simplify manoeuvres. If you want to buy a Tiguan for city driving, choose a version with the DSG 7 gearbox or an automatic. In the city a manual is tiring, and DSG 6 on the diesels is more dependable in traffic. The petrol Tiguan is better (1.4 TSI or 2.0 TSI); it provides enough pull and acceptable fuel consumption. For the city front-wheel drive will be sufficient.
