The Tiguan is the compact SUV for those who crave a refined interior and a quiet ride.

Eager handling in corners · Spacious, quiet interior
Laggy throttle response · Distracting infotainment screens

The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan is all about elevating the everyday drive with its upscale interior and a suite of standard tech features. Step inside, and you're met with a cabin that whispers luxury—quiet and spacious, with screens that dominate the dashboard. On the road, it handles with an eagerness rare for its class, thanks to its pleasant turbo-four engine. However, it does stumble when you demand quick acceleration from a stop, and the infotainment controls might have you longing for physical buttons. If you're stuck in rush hour traffic, though, the quiet cabin is a welcome sanctuary. This SUV is perfect for drivers who prioritize interior comfort and tech conveniences over raw power. We'd steer those seeking a hybrid or intense power off the line elsewhere.

Our pick: SE R-Line Black ($36,880)
vs. 2026 Nissan Murano: The Tiguan edges out the Murano with its interior refinement and tech features, but the Murano offers a more powerful engine.
