The Volkswagen Tiguan Named Best Compact SUV of 2017 by Cars.com

Volkswagen has recently made an extraordinary commitment to their line of Sport Utility Vehicles. This year, the Volkswagen Atlas was launched, adding a family SUV with a third row of seating to the line-up. But, we also revamped the Tiguan over the last two years to make sure that our name was among the best when it came to compact SUVs. Well, it appears that our efforts have been noticed as the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan has been named Cars.com’s “Best Compact SUV of 2017.”

The Cars.com Compact SUV Challenge tested vehicles with a maximum price of $35,000 including all options and destination charges. Testing took place in the Chicago suburbs, where judges drove each car on the same loop for back-to-back impressions. Vehicles were judged on value, spaciousness, as-equipped driver assistance technologies, such as forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, lane departure steering and lane-centering steering. Ease of child-safety seat installation was also evaluated and scored in each SUV.

Cars.com noted the Tiguan’s exceptional value, laudable roominess, and high level of standard driver assist features as reasons. Editor in Chief of Cars.com, Jennifer Newman said, “The cargo capability is top of the class, making this small SUV a huge advantage for shoppers concerned about getting the most room for the money. The Tiguan is also a great option for families, earning the highest possible marks in Cars.com’s Car Seat Check.”

Volkswagen of America couldn’t be happier with the announcement and recognition of the hard work to improve the Tiguan. “We are delighted that the 2018 Tiguan has been recognized by Cars.com as one of the best compact SUVs on the market,” said Derrick Hatami, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Volkswagen of America, Inc. “Every aspect of the Tiguan is designed to cater to the needs of American drivers and their families—from standard driver assist technologies to an optional third row—and this award validates the All-New Tiguan is a serious competitor in the segment.”

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan outlasted some formidable competitors in the challenge, as it bested the Honda CR-V, the Mazda CX-5, the Ford Escape, the Chevrolet Equinox, the Nissan Rogue, and the Jeep Compass.
