Volkswagen Tiguan
A popular choice among those in the DC area, it has the right size with the right performance to give you the right blend of a daily driver and one that can cater to your lifestyle needs outside your commute, too. You'll find it's a standout with individuals and families, as it seats five, and has a spacious rear cargo area, with the ability to fold down the rear seats to add more space. You'll find a recent redesign offers sleek new lighting, a more aerodynamic body, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that now delivers 201 horsepower, while the SUV is also lighter by 170 pounds thanks to aluminum suspension components and high-strength steel. Inside, enjoy plenty of technology with a 12.9- or 15-inch touchscreen, depending on the trim level, plus upscale amenities like walnut accents and a relocated gear shifter to the steering column for added space. The VW Tiguan can tow up to 1,800 pounds, making it a flexible option for those who are looking to bring something small along with them.
