Last year, Volkswagen made 910,926 units of the Tiguan, making it the best-selling Volkswagen in 2019. In Malaysia though, competition is tough to say the least. We have the Proton X70 offering tremendous value for money, the Honda CR-V proving itself as an all-rounder, and the Mazda CX-5 appealing to the keen drivers.
