BY KEITH GRIFFIN

After a week with the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, I’m left won- dering, “What’s the point?” Does the world really need another crossover utility vehicle like the Tiguan (which is called a com- pact sport utility vehicle by VW)? Apparently, Germans think so because it’s become a top seller among off-road vehicles in VW’s home country since its introduc- tion six months ago. That per- plexes me, though, because the Tiguan features all-wheel drive, an $1850 option. All-wheel drive is really only suitable for light off- road duty. Maybe Germans are like Americans and buys vehicles for off-road use – and then never take them offroad. It’s a likeable enough vehicle with lots of space for five and their assorted belongings. Fuel economy is OK and it drives well. The problem, though, is I think only VW owners who might want a compact sport utility vehicle will buy the Tiguan. I can’t envi- The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is VW’s entry into the compact sport utility vehicle market, but go ahead and call it a crossover utility vehicle. sion it capturing buyers from six airbags, with rear side One aspect of the Tiguan that tem ($1950).

The numbers are about right for an SUV weighing 3,433 lbs. What’s wrong is the turbo engine requires premium fuel. That puts the Tiguan at a disadvantage over its competitors.

Tiguan is available in three trim levels, S, SE, and SEL. It is base priced at $23,200. VW loaned me the top of the line model, the SEL 4xMotion, which jumps the price up 42 per- cent to $32,940. I’m not going to argue against the four-wheel drive for those who feel they need it (99 percent of people don’t), but you can save a lot of money by The inside of the VW Tiguan has an upscale finish to it. Volkswagen continues to do outstanding work foregoing the sunroof ($1300) and with its interiors. Photos © Volkswagen the DVD satellite navigation sys-
