What are the dimensions of the old Tiguan?

The body dimensions of the old Tiguan are 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. The Tiguan offers four versions (Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline) across seven models, equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering outstanding performance in both power and fuel efficiency. These are paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution), and ASR (Traction Control). Features like EDS (Electronic Differential Lock), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), Auto Hold, and TPR (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) are also standard. Front dual airbags and side airbags ensure passenger safety, while the standard child safety locks emphasize the safety of children.
The old Tiguan has quite practical dimensions. I drove my friend's 2015 model, which is about 4.5 meters long, a little over 1.8 meters wide, and around 1.68 meters tall. The key point is its wheelbase of nearly 2.7 meters, making the rear seats spacious enough for three adults without feeling cramped. The trunk is particularly roomy—last time I helped my brother move, we fit two 28-inch suitcases and still had space for a stroller. However, the turning radius of the older model is larger than newer cars, so you need to leave some extra room when parallel parking in older residential areas. Overall, it's a compact SUV with highly efficient space utilization.
Speaking of the first-generation domestically produced Tiguan around 2010, its overall dimensions were approximately 4506mm × 1809mm × 1685mm. As someone who runs a repair shop and frequently works on this model, my firsthand impression is that it has a short front end but a generously proportioned cabin. The rear legroom can comfortably accommodate three fists of space, offering more spaciousness than the CR-V of the same period. However, the rear door opening angle is somewhat limited, making it slightly challenging for elderly passengers to get in and out. While the trunk capacity isn't the largest on paper, the adjustable floor height is quite practical.
