Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a sport utility vehicle produced by Volkswagen since 2007, sitting between the smaller T-Roc and the larger Touareg in the range. The first generation used the PQ46 platform and the second generation, released in 2016, uses the MQB A2 platform. It is considered a medium-sized SUV in Europe and a compact crossover in North America. The name combines the German words for tiger and iguana and won a naming contest run by the magazine Auto Bild. The first generation was shown as a concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2006 and launched at the Frankfurt show in September 2007. By spring 2020 six million had been sold worldwide, and 910,926 built in 2019 made it the best-selling car in the Volkswagen Group.
