Tiguan & ID.4 EV Named to Cars.com 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card

This month, Cars.com released the results of their 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card – giving top marks to the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 EV and Tiguan. This marks the second year in a row that both compact SUVs have appeared on the list, while only seven vehicles receive the “honor roll” status.

The 2023 Car Seat Fit Report Card is created by car seat installations throughout the year in 56 different vehicles. Since this program debuted in 2010, more than 700 vehicles have been evaluated for their ability to safely install a car seat. Certified safety technicians installed an infant car seat, a convertible car seat and a booster seat into every vehicle tested.

Technicians closely examine the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system while installing them within the vehicles’ second row and third-row, with forward-facing car seats installed in the third row to test ease of accessibility. Cars.com tests vehicles as they are made available by automakers.

“For parents looking to purchase an SUV that fits the whole family, be sure to consider Volkswagen’s Tiguan and all-electric ID.4. They not only each sport a sizable backseat without compromising on passenger legroom, installing car seats is painless—with both easily acing our Car Seat Check. Exposed Latch anchors make for convenient access, and their seat belt buckles are incredibly user-friendly—even for children in booster seats,” says Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com News Editor and Certified Child-Passenger Safety Technician.
