The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a towing capacity of 2,200 pounds and a tongue weight of 220 pounds. Its 3.6L V6 engine boasts 266 pound-feet of torque. With a payload capacity of up to 1,402 pounds, including passengers in the cabin, the Tiguan is a competent compact SUV. However, it may struggle with heavier towing tasks beyond carrying a motorcycle or quad on a trailer due to its towing limit. If a more robust towing capability is required, exploring larger SUVs and trucks currently available in the market is advised.

Hey Alex, I've got a 2016 Tiguan SE 4Motion. Just wanted to clarify that the VW Tiguans imported to the US are equipped with a gas 2.0 Turbocharged engine only. The V6 isn't available as an option here - maybe you're thinking of the Touareg instead?
