Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan borrows styling elements from the larger Touareg2, the subcompact Rabbit, and even the sporty GTI -- but it still looks like nothing else in its class.

  • "The overall shape of the Tiguan was much more subdued than we expected, with the likes of the bawdy GTI in its bloodlines. There is no standout feature that visually grabs at you, and the gray rocker cladding upsets the vehicle's proportions." -- MSN
  • "The large panoramic sunroof has a 13 square foot opening (about three times the size of an average sunroof), and includes a power retractable shade to let the air in but keep the sun out." -- New Car Test Drive
  • "The Tiguan's exterior styling is an interesting blend of the Touareg and GTI." -- Road and Track
