Volkswagen Tiguan Tires

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a crossover that sits between the larger Touareg and smaller T-Roc in the Volkswagen lineup, and is currently the best-selling vehicle in the entire Volkswagen product line. In case you ever wondered, the name “Tiguan” is a mashup of the German words for “tiger” and “iguana.” The 2020 model was the second generation for the Tiguan and featured a choice of 4-cylinder engines, a 5-door body style, and optional all-wheel-drive, redesigned for extra interior room and cargo room. Latter-day iterations of the Tiguan are available with an extended wheelbase and 3rd row seating.

There’s also a performance-oriented R version of the Tiguan, with a 316 hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and a sophisticated AWD system that can portion out torque between the axles and even between wheels on the same axle.In addition, all but base trim levels of the Tiguan now come standard with VW’s “IQ Drive” driver assistance package, which includes automatic braking, blind spot alerts, adaptive cruise control, travel assist, forward-collision alert and lane keep assist. The 2020 Tiguan was available with S, SE, SEL and SEL Premium trim levels, along with 4Motion and R-Line packages.
