2025 Volkswagen Tiguan | FirstLook

[@JustNotInBoba]

VW is one of the few companies who hasn’t screw up their design yet, nice job.

[@Stefin770]

Ehhh it's a bit too round looking in the front as a VW product. Also, the previous gen looked better

[@f1pro910]

Yeh they never screw up in terms of reliability too. Same sh**y car as old models with somany reliability issues.

[@gregj7916]

Missing HVAC knobs & removal of 40/20/40 rear split could be considered a misdemeanour by VW…

[@thiagolima5232]

true

[@LetMeCook86]

Meanwhile while they lied to the American people with Diesel Gate and had the tax payers bail them ($100M) out with their shooty - broken ev chargers. But yeah, design….

[@lchanceiv]

I think HVAC controls and volume control should all be buttons

[@mqayyum9226]

everyone but the cost cutting management at VW agrees

[@jsponson]

Please VW, physical buttons and knobs for basic controls.

[@matthewoesch2364]

Nice to see a reviewer my height show how much room this has! This is at the top of my list for my next ride!

[@yesmikedanger]

Happy to help out Mr. Matt!

[@al28854]

watched him do that 'crunch' position while getting into/through the drivers door well looked a bit 'cringe' for me. The size of the door well feels like it's been reduced in size 20+ percent to leave more door size for the 2nd roll hence the more 'family friendly' option/attainability.

[@yesmikedanger]

@ nah, wasn’t bad at all for ingress. The only reasons why i seem like I’m ‘crunching’ is because: 1. I wanted to make sure I was fully on camera because in my Nissan Armada first look, I was outta frame… 2. I always have to be mindful of my mic because it was held on by a magnet through a thick sweater so I had to move a bit slower than normal… aaaaand 3. I’m a big guy who looks specifically to call out big-guy-comfort issues. IF it’s weird getting in & out of the thing, I’ll for sure address that.

[@matthewoesch2364]

@ thank you for answering that Mike! Excited to test drive one when it hits dealers!

[@yesmikedanger]

@@matthewoesch2364 shoot, me too! And no problem, Matt. Always happy to help!

Looks like my next car

Great video Mike!😸

[@yesmikedanger]

Thanks Ryan!

[@SoniaInternational]

Nice review! Excellent job!

[@ShayanKhan]

I'm on my 2nd Tiguan (2022) and i have enjoyed them both. The 2018 was an SEL and the current is an SE...so i have learned its SEL all the way moving forward! My only gripe is that my wife's NX seats are so muchbetter. Man i wish they would invest in more comfortable seats similar to the NX for long drives.

[@iluvhousemuzic]

This is a winner. Looks really good inside and out.

[@MrNemo721]

They need to make a 300hp R version

[@island661]

Agree, but way more expensive

[@krane15]

@@island661 No, the Golf R is less that two grand over the GTI.

[@island661]

@@krane15 I want the fastest one. So GTI is the way to go?

[@michaelwillis5929]

Major upgrade from the previous generation, and VW didn't screw up the design! Great job, VW. This might be a winner for my next car. I wonder when they will launch the hybrid model of this.

[@Coffee-xh4kp]

Nice job DANGER

[@ojwh]

Very nice design. Great video.

[@Splendid_Lad]

Awesome looking car inside and out. Good job VW!

[@preoksaha4504]

Not a fan of VW, but this might be the nicest compact suv. Well done 👏🏾

[@velboone6041]

I absolutely love it

[@urbanstrencan]

They updated the Tiguan nicely, and look is much better 🤟😊

[@mc.charleymusic]

Well, well, well, looks who's been hitting the gym (clears throat). I mean, looks who's been hitting the dealership 😂😂😂

[@yesmikedanger]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

best looking VW Tiguan by far . . .

[@nicoyoung259]

Have they gotten rid of the 3rd row? That was always a huge selling point over the crv and rav4

[@yesmikedanger]

Yup, no mo 3rd row nico

[@krane15]

Its still made (in FWD). But apparently not for North America -- at least for now.

[@Shotter]

Js always on point

[@yesmikedanger]

Haha appreciate that

[@nathangraham1760]

Gurllllll this SUV IS CUTE AS F!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Yaaaaaaaaaasssss

[@yesmikedanger]

@@nathangraham1760 😂😂😂 hell yeah we did! Come on now, Bring it up in here! 🫂

[@CarNut43]

Impressive!

[@jewelsfields7273]

Wow beautiful! Can't believe this is not an electric car etc

[@Jojoba-wz6ri]

Not a huge fan of the backlights, but it’s not horrible. It’s a sleek looking rig. VW has a habit of making the base and mid trims look really disappointing in comparison to the highest trim. I hope this isn’t the case here.

[@KuyaArbee]

VW was serious when it said no more plastics... LITERALLY this is AUDI Jr in terms of features! damn massaging seats! companies finally realizing DAILY DRIVERS should be comfortable! not GO KARTS.....

[@itsr7studio]

Agreed! The Audi touches are nice. This wagon enthusiast would like this in a wagon for the U.S. One can dream!

[@mohamed-f-elmorsi]

اعتقد الشكل اختلف عن موديل ٢٤ فيس لفت جديد و هل تعديلات الشكل ٢٠٢٥ هتكون على نسخة الشرق الاوسط ١٤٠٠ cc

[@hamidmghazi]

Where are the padded shifters? 😮

[@krane15]

As if the fake performance looks aren't enough?

[@keska01]

how much torque?

[@davepalmerton2429]

If I remember correctly from another video-221.

[@jeffreyabuan4426]

I’m just begging for a dedicated “R” model not “R-line” and I’d take one in a heartbeat

[@krane15]

We all are. You'd think that would be a no-brainer for VW when we get the Golf R yet the Tiguan is VW's best seller in North America.

[@jackj3542]

It looks like a bigger Nissan Kicks?

[@rockerjock79]

Are we seeing two different colors? The one inside being displayed versus the one that is being shown outside? If so, I really like that color that is driving outside on the video. Not a fan of the color on display inside.

[@hazwaniru2884]

In another market this was called tayron and the tiguan was smaller version of it with different interior

[@krane15]

The European version may have the same name and platform, but is a different car.

[@TJBellamy99]

It’s crazy we call these things “compact” SUVs 😭. Looks great though.

[@yesmikedanger]

Right?! They’re damn near borderline midsize.

[@krane15]

@@yesmikedanger Which is why they needed to create a subcompact.

[@shawnlawson9470]

Some seems to forget hud display

[@krane15]

HUDs are typically options. But do come on standard on higher models.

[@lchanceiv]

No hybrid?!! Big fail hopefully maybe in a couple years they will bring the European hybrid version over but this is not good. Also, they need more dang buttons.

[@krane15]

Two hybrids. Be patient.

[@lchanceiv]

@ oh I will. I’m just frustrated. They didn’t come out of the gate when I know they have them in the pipeline.

[@johnnysunrocket8618]

Improved horses power 201 And it's 200 lbs lighter than the outgoing model 😊

[@krane15]

VW claims lighter steel. But it doesn't have the 3rd row.

[@grmmjhnsn2]

Am I the only one who has an issue with the back end? I can't quite pin it, maybe it's a proportion issue, but it's not working for my eye. On a more positive note: the interior is fantastic!

[@krane15]

I don't like the PLAY button lights. The rectangles in 3-D would have been more than distinctive. Not need to be goofy.

[@scottvannoy9157]

I like it!

[@TheWildBois]

Can't wait to buy it used in 10 years.

[@krane15]

This is a VW video, not Porsche.

[@TheWildBois]

@@krane15 VW owns Porsche.

[@bemplassery]

Looks good, no hybrid is a let down. Future is BEV and EV

[@matthewoesch2364]

Love it

[@ucancallmenickk]

A little behind with the lack of a Hybrid or PHEV

[@mistertee5000]

thank god they didnt screw up the tiggy

[@Sooola7]

I don’t know if anyone noticed that but the check engine light is on 😂

[@flimgenco]

They finally laid off the guys designing and/or signing off the fake exhausts. Good riddance. And I wore those sneakers for the first time today, what a coincidence 😂

[@yesmikedanger]

Hahaha Jordan 11 twins!

When you see a car design and wonder: what were they thinking?

Bring PLuG in version to north america and ill will buy

[@garren588]

Looks damn good

[@barsaf9989]

What's with that grill?? 😬 Not a fan of the high headlights. The rest of the car looks good. Interior is not bad.

[@krane15]

What? That's where you want your light up high shining down. Just like everywhere else.

[@abymathew295]

We need more touch buttons...😏😏😏

[@marquezmcdaniel5744]

Just needs a little more horse power. At least 250hp

[@Chrischi_Z_GermanGUI]

The eHybrid has more than 250 hp, when combined with the electric engine. And has around 100 km pure electric range.

[@denault3985]

Looks like a Audi now, much improved without the kidney bean nose.

[@bablu1101]

man, vw screwed their logo in the front with that light bar. never thght vw will follow the trend.

[@krane15]

Buttons, buttons, whose got the the buttons? VW should have just updated the steering wheel why they were at it. In fact, wish it came with a power adjustable wheel option, but that's not typical at this class. Then again, neither are ventilated massaging seats. @4:00 Speaking of the ambient lights, they don't turn red when you open the door for safety. Like the piano black, those will just get dirty and nasty from grubby fingers and stretch and sag out of shape a year or two or three down the road. Don't let anybody use those. The storage in the ends of the seats have no lip, so the moment you open the door whatever you have in there will fall out onto the ground. More terrible designs that don't look forward. Like the piano black, those will just get dirty and nasty from grubby fingers and stretch and sag out of shape a year or two or three down the road. Don't let anybody use those. If you put your phone in those seat back pockets, thieve will get a good clear view and break in the steal it. Or just reach in and grab it. Cup holders seem like an after thought with its placement. Not only a stretch, but one space blocks the other. Anyway, I prefer a light head liner.

[@vincentlin1362]

No more 40/20/40? VW you failed me as a skier.. will have to stick with my 2021

[@AtzenMiro]

1800lb towing UNBREAKED, or? Because this thing in Europe can tow 2,5 tonnes (~ 5000lb)

[@krane15]

Unlike they North American version, you get way more (powerful) engines choices. Up to 272 with the PHEV.

[@kentostrowercha3646]

Nope glad I order a 2024 high line kings red

[@ZZZZ-mkv]

Climate controls on the screen = not buying.

[@krane15]

The you just cancelled out 80% of cars.

[@krane15]

If that's your criteria you're going to have a very small selection. The Korean brands still use buttons.

[@ajsoli12]

I prefer the styling of the previous gen as this looks so generic. I do like the interior and features this new gen has though. Hopefully VW offers auto brake hold for this gen as VWs and even Audis in North America don’t come equipped with it.

[@dinsdxb5214]

The pronunciation it's folkswagen not volkswagen.

[@yesmikedanger]

Voltswagen

[@vagabond1776]

Fake vents does not make up for fake exhausts.👎

[@AD-lf9ck]

[@CrimeJester]

Damn, why buy an Audi?

[@genean5465]

I don’t like the wheels. Reminds me of a Subaru

[@krane15]

Neither do I, but good news. Its probably the easiest thing to change on a car. Even the dealer can do that for you, and write it into the financing.

[@thematrix29]

why is 6’4 brotha reviewing a compact small suv - doesn’t make sense! like the car.

[@krane15]

Sure it does, he fits fine. I'm 6'4 too, and my first VW was a Jetta. I'm just disappointed I don't see the thigh extension seats on this one. That was my biggest grip on my Jetta and my Passat. On long road trips my right knee would ache.

[@sammydavis991]

Weak engine, no hybrid or plug in. Fail.

[@krane15]

There are two hybrids. VW says North American will get both.

[@stevehunter7402]

They ruined it. Less practicality. More screens,lights and bullshit.

[@krane15]

What carmaker is that not the case?
