Performance

The Tiguan also has one setup across all trim levels, so no matter which edition you choose, the standard 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder powertrain will inject 201 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque into your adventures.

Testimonials
Pohanka Volkswagon was amazing!
Thank you Jason, you made our day!
“ Midway on our 3 hour trip to Ocean City our Tiguan began shaking when accelerating. We called Pohanka Volkswagen and spoke with Jason. He told us to come right in. Driving slowly, we arrived and Jason thought he might know the problem. He got us right in and after diagnostics they fixed the problem. It took some time but the even better news was that it was under warranty so there was no charge. I can't express my gratitude to Jason for his help, I've never experienced this kind of prompt service at any other dealership. Jason was the best!! Thank you Jason, you made our day! ”

Thank you Sherrie Haynes for making this experience worthwhile!

Pohanka VW did an excellent job getting my husband and I into a new vehicle with a lower payment
“ Pohanka VW did an excellent job getting my husband and I into a new vehicle with a lower payment, and even helped us get the best deal for our trade. We are so pleased. We have bought 6 vehicles from Pohanka over the last 10 years and he was the most efficient salesperson thus far! Aside from his talent, Kingdom just exudes good vibes and a positive, professional attitude. We will definitely see him again soon! ”
The process was super easy from beginning to end.
“ Elizabeth and Hunter were fantastic in arranging a great price for our wonderful car. The process was super easy from beginning to end. Buy with absolute confidence from this dealership. I know you will not be disappointed in the honesty of all involved in buying a great car at a fair price. I live in North Carolina and I saw the used Mustang for sale on the Internet. I called and spoke to Elizabeth who without hesitation took video of the car and addressed its condition and features without any exaggerations. I decided to initiate a contact on-line to hold the vehicle for my arrival. They picked us up at the local airport and after a test drive we completed the purchase. The Finance Manager got us a great interest rate and warranty. This was the easiest and best out of state purchase we have ever accomplished. Thanks to all at this great dealership ”

This is a great place to do business with. Thanks again! ”

I absolutely love this dealership
“ I absolutely love this dealership. They are super clean, state of the art materials, and usually very quick for things like oil changes! I got there today at 7:00 AM and I left around 9:30. My only issue with this place today was that the mechanic did not communicate to my service writer that my update was taking longer than expected due to a system malfunction. However, Stephen did exactly what he said he would do, he was very polite, very professional, and very understanding of my plight. He accommodated me and gave me a few dollars off for my inconvenience so I am very happy. I drive from Baltimore Maryland to go to this dealership because I have never been to a more professional Volkswagen dealer. I’m closest to the Volkswagen on Baltimore national pike in Catonsville, but I do not like how they operate therefore, I drive to Salisbury for the BEST service. ❤️ thanks again Steven ”
