You’ll feel solid road feedback from behind the wheel, with available all-wheel drive offering extra confidence in wet or slippery conditions. While the Encore GX offers decent fuel efficiency and available AWD, its engine options lack the refined power delivery and road presence the Tiguan consistently provides.
