2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Review: All-new family SUV!

[@krane15]

@4:50 You don't have the settings right. The adaptive damper basically negate the larger wheel size. You can precisely dial in your comfort settings. That's the point of the option.

[@madisjaagura]

Yes, comfort is decent and still holds the car on the road very well. But this way the suspension noise would have been even worse - DCC pro is quietest on the hardest setting.

[@nickgiles7568]

Thank you. It makes a change to hear a really honest opinion despite the manufacturers trying to charm the reviewers with the highest spec they could find. VP proves them wrong.

[@jasonevans790]

I enjoyed watching your video. Just wandering if you tried the different drive modes. Listening to your driving experience it seems like you may have had in Sport mode during your test.

[@vp272]

Why does no one include fold out picnic tables in the rear seats no more? I get wear and tear but really useful!

[@nledimo]

Is possible to get the 13inch infotainment with the high spec’d Tiguan RLINE ?

[@jamesmccormack3229]

Love Vicki's videos. Tend to be honest and non fussy, straight to the point. Not sure if its just the video angle but looks like there is an awful lot of black shiny platics in the front and on that dash. Like its looks and actually like that colour, but sadly, VW keep cutting corners and are just being out done by competitors they used to laugh at and mock.

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video Review, more stylish than the previous Model

[@klackon1]

It just looks as if someone has glued an iPad onto the dashboard.

[@krane15]

No, a bona fide laptop.

[@Splendid_Lad]

So many car manufacturers are doing this glued tablet style. What makes VW any different? lol 😂

[@muratisik6956]

VW really has really ruined the front of the car. It used to look great, but now it looks like a KIA or something with a lot of plastic. And the glued on iPad, o my God. That screen was integrated in a great way in the older version, but this... it's just a big NO!

[@siblej1]

It’s starting to look like a ID4

[@jasminephilyaw5372]

I think Kia is trying to look like VW! I love the looks of the VW.

[@Ablx94]

Agreed 👍🏽

[@jaysen704]

Bull..

[@SimonSmith-g8u]

So true - very amusing!

[@Rm-no6jr]

Thanks a lot. Very nice review. I read comments and people were right and wrong. I have older Tiguan elegance 20inch wheels. There is no DCC on my car. It is really uncomfortable for family on not perfect road. But on German autobahn it drives like a dream. So please avoid 20inch in any combination. And there is a throttle delay which is really bad ( in sport mode it’s ok). Regarding the new Tiguan, that display is horrible the way it located there. My 2021 Tiguan is way more elegant and strong. All in all, Tiguan is a great car. I really recommend it.

[@jimbrown5552]

Just got one yesterday

[@simonjenkins9586]

Looks amazing, friend has one and the ride is fine.

[@deanjames1179]

I was set on a tuscon phev but the fact that this can do almost double the millage on EV only mode is making me lean towards it. Company lease so warranty doesn't really matter.

[@Ionutzz83]

You say you expected more comfort from a family SUV. If you want comfort you should avoid 20 inch wheels. Also, how can you say to avoid DCC Pro when you haven't driven a Tiguan 3 without? What makes you think it would be better? A Tiguan with 20 inch wheels without DCC Pro will be much worse. On 20 inch wheels the DCC Pro will not make such a difference on the dampers side. But the DCC Pro does not only control the softness or stifness of the dampers. With the DCC Pro the car will be more stable on the road for one thing. I drove a Tiguan 3 with DCC Pro, 17 inch wheels and one without. Let me tell you, it makes a big difference, specially regarding road stability. Come on, I expected more from you. If you want to do a fair review, compare both and then draw conclusion. Otherwise is just talk.

[@madisjaagura]

Agreed, DCC pro really works well BUT it is noisy on speed bumps. It also makes you lust for more power (at least with eTSI).

[@notsofast3226]

Well she said she'd driven an ID3 without it, and the Passat a few weeks ago. I don't think the VW press team offer them a choice of spec, she'll get what she's given and it looks like the VW press team dropped the ball with this press car.

[@ISuperTed]

Looks like a big upgrade. Not sure about the looks TBH. One thing I will say, leasing/company rates are good for these and compare well to EV’s like the Enyaq. May well look at a Hybrid version early next year as my next company car.

[@urbanstrencan]

Tiguan is perfect in Plug-in variant and 4motion :)

[@richardwalsh1838]

The glued on ipad laptop thing on the dash kills it for me, i would remove it by force if necessary.

[@timjenkins8538]

Imagine paying nearly 50k for a car with cloth seats 😂

[@ag8912]

Ever heard of inflation?.

[@AR-1806]

@@ag8912Not everything is because of inflation, even with inflation prices of cars are just crazy, they‘re out of their minds!

[@ag8912]

@@AR-1806 nah they're totally consistent with inflation. Wages just don't follow suit. And if the car is too expensive for you, guess what? You aren't the target audience anyway.

[@AR-1806]

@@ag8912 But I feel like generally cars have gotten more expensive but quality has gotten worse since they are cost cutting

[@ag8912]

@@AR-1806 sure, but car manufacturers aren't a charity. If you could sell cheap crap for a high price you would, wouldn't you? As long as they're meeting their sales and revenue targets, nothing will change. If anything the pandemic taught businesses that they can in fact get away with charging outrageous prices and people will still buy their stuff.

[@alg7478-g1h]

Good honest review, but the continual hand flapping is really distracting - sorry

[@Akas1001]

The truth shall set you free, great review. And a Sht car! Vw aren't the peoples car anymore. Skoda is!! ( I have had 9 vw cars in the family, not buying vw again) MY TOTALL RESPECT TO CARGURU FOR BE HONEST, other reviews have been bought. And iv watched every review that comes out.lol love cars!

[@mervinprone]

£50K for a Tiguan! The world’s gone mad

[@GrahamReid34]

I thought the same

[@davidpollard4051]

My T Roc R Line is the same - ride comfort is really disappointing on only 17" wheels. Always feels unsettled and lumpy.

[@masterwai111]

Honest review! 👍 Gonna lose VW a few millions of lost sales 😂🤣

[@rufdymond]

I test drove this car…..it’s nice but what are VW thinking with those prices, it’s far too expensive. Everything is an option on the car making it stupidly expensive……I discounted it from my choices.

[@rosswhittleton6277]

I'd go for the Passat.

[@Mrscoopspot]

I have this rline phev and a phev santa fe as a company car option.....i feel like theres more car for your money in the hyundai. The vw might be cheaper per month in company car tax, but the santa ce just looks and aeems like a better option all round

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

I think it's a decent looking car but I hate the massive touchscreen nailed onto the dash - it looks so 'unintegrated'. I guess like a lot of German cars, it has suspension tuned to be rock stable while you hurtle down the autobahn at Warp 9. However, that doesn't work very well for almost anywhere in the UK where a combination of traffic volumes and third world road surfaces mean 40mph feels like an unattainable dream. Great review though and top marks for slipping Darth Vader's helmet into the script without laughing (almost). 🤣
