While the Volkswagen Tiguan may not be as ubiquitous as some of its Japanese competitors like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4, the Tiguan brings with it a level of refinement and driving dynamics that are hard to match at this price point.
If you’re on the hunt for a used SUV with the Teutonic feel, you’ll be glad to know that the Tiguan can now be found for as low as RM 54k on our Cars for Sale page. Let’s dive into what makes the Tiguan worth considering.
Overview
The second-generation Volkswagen Tiguan (internally known as the AD1) was introduced in Malaysia in 2017, marking a significant leap from its predecessor in terms of design, technology, and overall driving experience.
Built on Volkswagen’s MQB platform, the same one used in models like the Golf and Passat, the Tiguan is offered in two main variants locally: the Comfortline and the Highline, both powered by a 1.4-litre TSI engine.
This 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder produces 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed DSG transmission.
Standard features in the Comfortline include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, three-zone climate control, and an 8-inch infotainment system. Opting for the Highline adds more luxury touches such as full LED headlights, leather upholstery, keyless entry with push-start, and a powered tailgate.
Safety wise, all variants feature six airbags, ESC, hill-hold control, and ISOFIX mounts. The Highline ups the ante with driver assistance features like Lane Assist, Park Assist, and a 360-degree camera.
In 2019, Volkswagen Malaysia introduced the Tiguan Allspace, which offered a seven-seater layout and a 2.0 TSI engine with 220 PS, catering to those needing more power and space. However, it comes at a higher price point and might not be as common in the used car market.
