The Volkswagen Tiguan indeed has imported models. Initially, it entered the Chinese market through imports before being localized by domestic manufacturers like Shanghai Volkswagen. Imported Tiguans are typically manufactured in Germany, featuring more powerful engines, refined interiors, and higher-end configurations such as full-time four-wheel drive systems and adaptive cruise control. The downside is their significantly higher price compared to the domestic versions, along with potentially harder-to-find or more expensive maintenance and repair parts. Having researched numerous vehicles, I've found that while imported cars excel in quality, economic costs must be considered. If you prioritize authentic German driving dynamics and rich features, the imported version is worth choosing. However, the domestic version offers better value for money and is perfectly adequate for daily use.
When it comes to the Volkswagen Tiguan, it definitely had an imported version, mainly in the early 2010s. I've looked into the market situation—the price of a new imported Tiguan was tens of thousands higher than the domestic version due to additional tariffs and transportation costs. The imported version had significant configuration advantages, such as often featuring larger engines and all-terrain systems, but the long-term maintenance costs were higher, with imported parts taking longer to arrive. If your wallet is thick enough, going for the imported version is great; but for most people who prioritize practicality and cost savings, the domestic Tiguan offers easier maintenance and decent resale value. The car market changes rapidly these days, and with the trend toward new energy vehicles, imported gasoline cars are decreasing, but you can still find used imported versions—just make sure to thoroughly check the vehicle condition before buying.
