Really we don't need to talk about the interior, but exterior wise I prefer the old one. The old front looked beefier and in general the old one looks sharper. This one, especially the front, looks like "yet another modern ford".

Just because it is not out yet does not mean it cannot be current compared to other modern vehicles. This does not feel fresh.

The Tiguan is crap. The 2.0 diesel is a ticking time bomb, they eat wheel bearings and front end bushings like there is no tomorrow, the Haldex system is notorious for breaking on all VAG-products and the rear LED clusters are terrible, they don't usually even last until the end of the warranty and cost an arm and a leg to replace.

@A real bisexual petrol-head I can agree! Certainly, the VW Group have fantastically well laid out interiors. They're very logical, clean and well built nowadays however, deeply dull in design. I've got a 2006 Accord Tourer and, I find that it's a very much attractive interior that's quite timeless and even today, modern. Besides the dated infotainment which still works wonders, minus the touchscreen controlled climate control.

I have the 2016 Kuga TiT X and its a superb car. Great handling, great suspension, good use of space, great comfort, great to drive, tons of torque. Got a spacesaver spare, 4WD, sunroof, 370NM at approx 1700rpm. IF I wanted sportier I would buy a BMW. IF I wanted more space I would probably buy a Skoda Kodiaq or similar size car.. at a push maybe a Ford Escape. The Mk2 has best pretty much best rear seat/ boot space in its class and best headroom. I would be VERY surprised if the MK3 or any rival to MK2 has better suspension or comfort! Good advice to mid SUV buyers though. AVOID QASHQAIS for VERY POOR rear seat legroom and POOR boot space.. go for at least an XTRAIL or a Kuga sized car.. you wont regret it!

[@user-zk2zl5bs1m]

One important advantage over forthcoming X1 and Volvo XC40 PHEV's. This has an over 2.0L (2.5L) engine, those other don't. Why does that matter? If its a company car and your getting approved fuel rates (AFR) paid for your business mileage, the X1 and XC40 you will only get 14p per mile. The Kuga (like the Outlander) you get 21p per mile. Enough to run it on petrol even on long trips and still make a small profit!
