Super TestCar reviews - Volkswagen - Tiguan - 5-dr wagon rangeVolkswagen modelsOverviewVolkswagen introduces a sharply-priced entry-level 118TSI Tiguan variant11 Oct 2011 VOLKSWAGEN has enjoyed tremendous local market success with its Tiguan in the booming compact SUV segment as it has quickly become the brand’s second-largest-seller here, so the introduction of an even cheaper entry-level model is big news for the brand. And our first drive of the new sub-30K Tiguan shows it to be a worthwhile addition to the range, with excellent performance from the car’s brilliant twin-charged engine and enough grunt to make using the standard six-speed manual gearbox anything but a chore. And a visit to the petrol station will delight with an economy rating of just 6.9L/100km on the combined cycle, though that’s on more expensive 95-octane fuel.
