VW Tiguan - is it a four-wheel drive?

Are all Tiguans four-wheel drive?

Is a 140 ps TDi Bluemotion Oct 2010 Mk1 two or four-wheel drive?

Advertised as 4x4 by dealer, but buyer not sure.

No. But all you have to do is look underneath and see if it has a rear diff and driveshafts. If not, it isn't 4WD.
