Volkswagen Tiguan
The third generation of the Tiguan compact SUV debuted last year. Slightly smaller than its predecessor, which was sold from 2018-2024, it tries to recapture some of the driving pleasure that characterized the original Tiguan. The third row of seats is no longer available. For 2026, Volkswagen is adding a 268-horsepower turbocharged engine to the Highline trim. Other Tiguan models produce 201 horsepower. All of them come with all-wheel drive.
