Smaller than the current Touareg (and dubbed as the 'baby brother'), the 2009 Tiguan is positioned as a competitor to the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V in the small crossover market. All models are powered by a 2.0L Turbo engine boasting 200 horsepower and 207 ft-lb of torque. The Tiguan features second-row seating that can split fold and slide/tilt. The vehicle shares a modified platform with the VW Golf and Rabbit. Volkswagen promotes the vehicle's "car-like" handling and notes that it will be offered initially with all-wheel drive.
