Volkswagen Tiguan
With a rich cabin that is quintessentially German in its seriousness, the Volkswagen Tiguan falls under the compact SUV category. Its basic engine is a turbocharged 2.0-litre that produces 200 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque. Front-wheel drive comes factory standard, but you can equip the vehicle with all-wheel drive if you prefer. The Tiguan's sporty handling is also typically German. The 2016 year is also bringing new colours (Scotch brown and Titanium beige) and an optional Fender sound system.
