    First Take

    The compact Tiguan is the brand’s top-selling vehicle in the United States. In our tests of the outgoing model, we measured sluggish acceleration but praised its user-friendly controls and very roomy rear seats. We’re glad to see that the Tiguan gains 17 horsepower and loses 170 pounds—a potent combination that should help with highway merges and passing maneuvers. Unfortunately, the optional third row and straightforward controls will be gone as part of the 2025 redesign.
