2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Owner’s Manual

Originally the Volkswagen Tiguan was built on a platform that is shared with the Passat and Sharan but the second generation was moved to the company's universal one.

The universal platform under the second generation is shared with almost every Volkswagen and its sub-brands range of cars, including the Golf GTI and the 2021 T-Roc.

Tiguan's are classed as a crossover SUV due to having a chassis that would be more at home under a car rather than a traditional SUV.

This leads to a low-weight design that is cheaper to maintain and run - as well as being easier to drive and kinder to the planet.

2021 Tiguan's are examples of the 2016 second-generation model that brought mechanical and design changes.

It is available as a long or short-wheelbase with a range of engines including a sensible 1.4-liter through to the high-performance 2-liter turbocharged used in the R trim.

The longer wheelbase version of the car is branded as the Allspace trim and is just over 2cm longer than the standard model.

Sales of the car have been incredible and continue to grow year on year, recently pushing well above half a million Tiguan's sold per year worldwide.

The 2021 examples also benefited from a face-lift the year before adding the R trim and the eHybrid trim too.

Many new driver-aids and safety features have led drivers to require the owner's manual more frequently.
