The Volkswagen Tiguan ({{IPA|de|ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡn̩ ˈtiːɡu̯aːn}}) is a sport utility vehicle produced by German manufacturer Volkswagen since 2007, sitting between the smaller T-Roc and the larger Touareg in the company's crossover SUV range. The first generation was based on the PQ46 platform, while the second generation, released in 2016, utilizes the Volkswagen Group MQB A2 platform.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/volkswagen/tiguan/2009/2009-volkswagen-tiguan/|title=2009 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN FIRST DRIVE|last=Kiino|first=Ron|date=6 June 2007|website=Motor Trend|access-date=14 September 2018}} It is generally considered to be a medium-sized SUV in Europe,{{Cite news|url= https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/volkswagen/tiguan |title= Volkswagen Tiguan review |work= Top Gear magazine |publisher= BBC Worldwide |date= 12 November 2021 |access-date= 27 June 2021}}{{Cite web|url= https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/car-reviews/volkswagen/tiguan/tiguan/ |last= Crouch |first= Jonathan |date= 19 February 2021 |access-date= 27 June 2021 |title= Volkswagen Tiguan review |website= rac.co.uk |publisher= RAC Limited}} while in North America it is considered to be a compact crossover SUV.{{Cite news|url= https://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-vw-factory-mexico-crossover-tiguan-20150310-story.html |title= VW plans $1-billion factory upgrade in Mexico for new Tiguan |date= 10 March 2015 |access-date= 27 June 2022 |work= Los Angeles Times |last= Undercoffler |first= David}}{{Cite news|url= https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33010930/2022-volkswagen-tiguan-refresh-revealed/ |title= 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Has a More Appealing New Front End |work= Car and Driver |last= Hoffman |first= Connor |date= 30 June 2020 |access-date= 27 June 2022}}
The name Tiguan is a portmanteau of the German words Tiger ("tiger") and Leguan ("iguana") and won a naming contest by German car magazine publisher Auto Bild—from a field of names that also included Namib, Rockton, Samun and Nanuk.{{cite web | title = Deep Drive: 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan | publisher = Consumer Guide Auto, Don Sikora II | date = 2008-05-28 | url = http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/deep-drive-2009-volkswagen-tiguan.htm | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100325080100/http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/deep-drive-2009-volkswagen-tiguan.htm | archive-date = 2010-03-25 }}
As of the spring of 2020, six million units had been sold worldwide, with 910,926 units being manufactured in 2019 alone, making the Tiguan the best-selling car overall in the Volkswagen Group. It was also the best-selling SUV in Europe.{{cite press release |date=2020-04-17|title=Volkswagen Tiguan is the brand's current bestseller, breaking six million sales since model's debut |url=https://media.vw.com/en-us/releases/1294 |access-date=2020-04-21 |publisher=VW}}

The first generation Tiguan is based on the PQ46 platform, which is shared with the four corporate siblings, Volkswagen Passat (B6), Volkswagen Sharan (7N), Škoda Superb (3T) and SEAT Alhambra (7N). A common misconception is that the Tiguan is built on the PQ35 chassis that underpins the Mk5 and Mk6 generation Volkswagen Golf. While the PQ46 chassis is based upon the PQ35 platform, there are several differences between the more entry level PQ35 and the mid range PQ46. It shares the same dashboard design with the Golf Plus.{{Cite web|title=VW Tiguan TDI 140 SE|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-reviews/39145/vw-tiguan-tdi-140-se|access-date=2022-01-07|website=Auto Express|language=en}}

The import version of Tiguan appeared on the Chinese market in 2009, with a locally built version (aka Shanghai-Volkswagen Tiguan) debuting at 2009 Guangzhou Motor Show. The Chinese built Tiguan is LWB(2684mm)uses 1.8-litre TSI {{convert|160|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}} and 2.0-litre TSI {{convert|200|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}}, and has a revised front fascia. At the same time, the import Tiguan is still sold in China, which has 2.0 TSI and R-Line kit as highlights.
The basic design of the import model is the same as the international one. Due to the regulations, Shanghai-VW Tiguan is given a Chinese name, known as 途观 (tiguan), and the import one keeps the original letter name to differ locally built and import models.
Since the launch of the second generation Tiguan, the first generation Tiguan continued to be sold in China as the Tiguan Silk Road until it was discontinued in 2020.{{Cite web|title=Volkswagen Group China|url=https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com:443/en/volkswagen-group-china-5897|access-date=2020-09-07|website=Volkswagen Newsroom|language=en}}

At the November 2007 Michelin Challenge Bibendum, in Shanghai, China, Volkswagen showed the Tiguan HyMotion study powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.{{Cite web|title=Volkswagen debuts zero-emission Tiguan HyMotion in the U.S.|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/13/volkswagen-debuts-zero-emission-tiguan-hymotion-in-the-u-s/|access-date=2021-06-06|website=Autoblog|date=13 June 2008 |language=en}}
The fuel cell produces {{convert|107|HP|kW|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} which, when combined with energy stored in the battery, allows the electric motor to output a total of {{convert|134|HP|kW|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}.
