VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4Motion DSG Highline

The VW Tiguan’s 2,0-litre engine delivers a typically responsive turbodiesel drive, with decent bottom-end torque. But matched to the seven-speed DSG gearbox and all-wheel drive, it endows the Tiguan with a surprising measure of on-road ability and enjoyment. It’s a superb package, with great styling, a comfortable interior and genuine driving talent both on tar and off the beaten track. The only downside are those 20-inch wheels, which can be noisy and aren’t the best all-terrain option.

I think Tiguan better then any others suv in the market.

[@walter777smith6]

An the most UNRILIABLE brand on the market plus cost too much to fixed .

I have this Tiguan in SEL trim with biturbo diesel, dsg and 4 motion. It is a very complete package. Powerful yet economical and surprisingly fun to drive. Great Review. I would add it worked well in the snow on the standard 1o inch rims with Scorpion tyres.

When does this episode air?

[@rajat867]

I always like reviews from rpm tv but I don’t know why there are so low Views and likes on every video. In India worst reviewers get more likes than rpm tv

I have a 2018 model and I am disappointed that you did not mention the wind tubublance which comes standard. The wind noise on the driver's side A pillar is very annoying. I sent it over to vw and was told that it is normal. That was a sad response as I owned the previous model and did not experience such. Hell I also own a 2015 vw polo which does not have such loud wind noise while driving. As I said I am disappointed that you did not mention wind tubublance to your audience.

Thank you for this information, many are paid reviews so they are not allowed to tell you everything :D

[@solly7929]

Please bring back the channel 😕

[@bantusodaba8753]

Whatever happened to this channel?

[@stainMK2]

I think the Mazda CX 5 is better, More torque, lower fuel consumption, with a bigger engine.

[@IrfanBheenick]

Bigger engine? Bro this engine is more efficient than 1400cc making 148hp compared to x1 1500cc making 136hp

[@5hah129]

Consider the handling and build quality aswell.

[@branislavhavlik570]

CX5 is nice to drive but in off road terain is not very good. CX5 missing virtual cockpit, kicking open 5 th door (easy open). touch screen if u driving .... etc.
