If you're weighing a 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for nimble handling for a crossover vehicle, and capable all-wheel-drive system included standard. The honest trade-off: fuel economy modest for this class. This example sold for $10,995, showed 166,008 km and is rated an official 10.7 L/100km combined.

What to check before you buy

When shopping this trim, verify the service history—regular oil changes keep the turbocharged engine healthy and efficient. Check the all-wheel-drive system's performance in damp conditions; 4Motion provides genuine traction without excessive fuel penalty. Confirm that modern conveniences like Bluetooth and the backup camera function smoothly. Test the panoramic sunroof for any wind noise at highway speeds. This trim balances features and practicality, making it a smart choice for buyers who value both capability and comfort.
