I often drive the Tiguan L and Tiguan X around the city, with the main differences being space and practicality. The Tiguan L is more like a family minivan, with a super-large trunk that easily fits strollers and suitcases, and even a seven-seat version for taking the whole family on trips—especially comfortable for long drives. The Tiguan X has a sleeker, sportier design, but the rear headroom is a bit tighter, and fitting bulky items can be tricky. The powertrains are similar, both using Volkswagen's 2.0T engine, with comparable fuel consumption at around 6-7 L/100km in the city. However, the X version feels lower and sportier when you sit inside. If I had to recommend, go for the L version for family needs, or the X version for singles or couples who prioritize a cooler look—after all, both are easy to park and suitable for city commutes. Just don’t forget to test-drive to see which fits your actual needs.
