Volkswagen has positioned the Tiguan as a sportier alternative to other vehicles its size, calling it the "GTI of sport-utility vehicles". Its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine produces more power than the base engines in other compact utility vehicles while being more fuel-efficient than V6-powered engines in its class. The Tiguan's tall body allows a much more spacious interior than a compact car. Volkswagen includes complimentary scheduled service for three years or 36,000 miles.
