Since 2009, Volkswagen has been making its version of the compact SUV, the Volkswagen Tiguan. The vehicle comes with many exciting features, somewhat in between the standard SUV and a luxury version of one. Priced in the range of $24,585 to $34, 775, it is an appealing vehicle for any new car buyer to consider. For an affordable compact SUV, the Volkswagen Tiguan has always done well for itself despite its higher price point. For 2011, the Tiguan returns with some modifications to the front fascia as well as changes to the engine in order to comply with the new Euro V emissions laws. Expect to see the Tiguan in dealerships starting in late 2010.
