The 2008 Tiguan was Volkswagen’s first foray into the compact SUV market.
As with the compact MPV, the company was rather slow off the mark in seeing its significance. Life has become a lot less formal.
People want a vehicle which not only makes the whole life-work thing succeed but “says” something about their take on it too (note avoidance of word “lifestyle”).
VW’s larger Touareg (and Porsche Cayenne twin) arrived in 2002. A highly credible 4x4 on/off-road SUV, it soon established itself among the longer standing front runners. Touareg II in 2010 sustained that – ‘Escape’ model at least – with high/low ratio transfer box and a broad range of 4x4 abiilty.
