In many European markets, there is a more powerful diesel with 193PS and more importantly with 4Motion. That same drivetrain is sold here in the new Škoda Superb and Kodiaq. I hope Volkswagen UK brings the 4Motion Tiguan MK3 models to our market.

I also hope the UK will get Tiguan/Passat and Kodiaq/Superb with 2.0 TSI.

@@stewartmungin5166 It should arrive later. I know Turkey now has the Passat B9 Variant available with both the 2.0 TDI 4Motion and 2.0 TSI 4Motion, I guess the latter is more likely for the UK.

Was looking to buy a 2024 Tiguan here in Canada. Test drive but found the infotainment screen fiddly & not really intuitive. Asked the dealership when the series 3 would come to Canada, she denied there WAS a series 3! So reluctant to spend C$56,000 on a vehicle that is soon to be an old model. This new model really looks like it may have answered some of my negatives. Great review. Thank You!

[@slicklace]

Great informative review.

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

The gear selector behind the driving wheel (Mercedes style) is a good idea ... because ... with a not-so-complicated-adjustment ... the central console can be eliminated ... and this way the right foot (the left one in the UK) won't feel crowded anymore. The driving position will be "aired" ... like in a VW MultiVan ...😉

[@sarahhdoubleh0]

just ordered one in green for delivery in March 25, looks awesome!

[@TerranceH-o9v]

Aside from the gear shifter the interior is amazing!! Gonna get my wife one when it hits my area

[@TammyWells-iy5pp]

Just took delivery of my new Tiguan Allspace Elegance with 147TDI Turbo Diesel 2.0ltr. Drove it 430kms yesterday back to Geraldton from Perth. Pretty impressive car. Drives really well, nimble around the city and great little highway cruiser. On one occasion overtook two semi trailers at once coming out the front of them at 145km/hr with no fuss. Plenty of grunt. 6.3ltrs/100 kms makes it really economical too and cheaper to run considering the petrol version requires Premium 95 fuel. A lot of well built car with electric sunroof, AWD auto, premium sound system, heated leather seats and wheel, electric tailgate and Bluetooth package for well under $60,000AUD.

[@svezanovac2]

I always feel bad for all the people outside of germany, but just to let you know the same model goes 210kmh quite well also :)

[@tvc.dadalorian3846]

Best review I have seen on this car great job

[@johnlynch6778]

Great review as always. Just changed from 2 tiguans in last 6 yrs ( last 1.5 tsi elegance) to an ID5 pro performance. Tiguans were great cars. Super reliable and comfortable. Never a squeak or rattle. Omg… contract with ID5 is night and day. ID5 ride is harsh and just plain uncomfortable even on 19 inch alloys. But it’s the build that’s the big difference. Straight from delivery the dash, front seat and boot rattle constantly on all but the smoothest roads. I would have gone for the new Tiguan but Vw were wanting too much money on lease. ID 5 have some attractive offers ….. that’s because the car really isn’t great.

[@sealegs446]

To spec a new R line the same as my 22 model costs 10k more 😮

[@AutoSocialUK]

I do agree that it’s madness! I think there is a lot of models, going to be sold with no extras, or Premium paint colours!

[@alxdava2004]

That TV inside ruins everything

[@krane15]

Its the trend nowadays, but I agree. Even the standard 12.9" is more than big enough. Since you mention it, why not dedicate more of the screen area to the rear view camera view and use the extra real estate for something useful?

[@chryschrysostomou5392]

Fabulous video. With the prices of EVs being so high, a Tiguan PHEV makes a lot of sense. Food for thought! ID4 or Tiguan?

[@143580BUD]

I don’t think it looks aggressive at all. I currently have a 23 reg r line but I won’t be buying the new model. That strip light on the front and the black across the middle of the dash with like bits of white in it I hate. I don’t like how everything is controlled by a screen rather than buttons but that’s the whole vag group in general. Takes far to long to turn things off and if you’re driving you don’t want to take your eyes off the road for longer than you need to! Seats look like the ones out of a Škoda now but they’ll be comfy enough.

[@LordStaind]

I love my 2023 Golf R with haptic touch buttons. I've only hit the heating steering wheel button once since owning it May of 2023. To me, it looks way better than the regular buttons.

[@paulscott1759]

Clearly, Volkswagen have realised that many customers are going over to the likes of Kia because of the amount of equipment you get as standard! I’m glad they started doing something about it.

I just took delivery of the out going model R-Line edition. I hadto pay £300 for the electric tailgate and the same for the adjustable boot floor which i was told you only got if you ordered the spare wheel. Pretty annoying that some of those are now standard. As for looks i prefer mine to be honest specially the wheel rims.

[@AutoSocialUK]

It seems like lots of things like that are no standard like the electric boot, park assist ect. What specification of outgoing model did you go for? I bet like for like they end up the same. I thought an adjustable floor was standard on all VW products.

[@pauloshea5069]

I tish I heard you talk about the 40000 pounds luxury car tax. Not many people are talking about that. Due to coming in, especially for electric cars next year. What do you think about it Paul from se London

[@arranpullen3668]

I've ordered a 1.5etsi R in urano grey (the only standard colour) it's £39,950, If I wanted any other colour it was an extra £720 which would've put me over the 40k threshold which would then incur a £420 a year luxury vehicle tax for the next 5yrs

Superb review!

[@kickstand801]

When you say "this is how to do a new car" I thought you were referring to the new Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. Got excited for a moment😂😂😂 right off the bat: the dimensions. I'm loving the compact appearance of the Tiguan, and it still has that tradition VW style. Loving the new technology, lighting is impressive. Overall HP isn't the best in its class but it doesn't have to be. Now, the compact SUV category is competitive. Aside from the Tiguan, you got 2 Japanese best sellers to contend with; the Rav4 and the CR-V. So it will be interesting to see if the Tiguan can outperform its rivals and be the gold standard of compact SUVs. Great review. Thumbs up!

[@timogronroos4642]

Tiguan PHEV with FWD, 7 gears, 3 clutches and 2 years warranty. Toyota RAV4 PHEV with AWD, zero gears, zero clutches and 10 years warranty (Relax)

[@kickstand801]

@timogronroos4642 but where's the rest of the Rav4 Prime stats? Lemme help ya out. 302hp, 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.1 seconds, weighs around 1,983 KG, 105 MPGe on the highway, 84 MPGe in the city, and it can go 42 miles on pure EV. (Now I'm "relaxed)😂

[@krane15]

@@kickstand801 You forgot to include the 50K price tag. Although I agree you do have valid points. The RAV4 is due to be updated for 2025.

[@krane15]

Actually, the VW does need to have more HP, or something that distinguished itself from the Japanese. Sure, DCC is great, but that "suspension feature" is not going to bring in any new customers. The majority of buyers look for interior features, cabin comfort, finish and materials. That's the route Mazda chose with its new line of cars. In addition, the CX50 offers a max of 256 hp. The Tiguan is a great starter family SUV. But in North America there's also that segment that can only afford one can and want to add fun to their utility. That's where VW used to shine when they popularized the hot hatch which proved utility didn't need to be boring. I'm just wondering when Hyundai surpassed VW with its own invention. Right now they all have a loyal following with their superior reliability. Equally them is not going to be enough to bring in any new buyers.

Hi! Thanks for that movie. I have a question. I will be very happy if you can reply. What do you think about the DCC suspension noise (especially on the Comfort mode)?

Could you please help me with decision go/no go with DCC? Thanks!

In a crowed parking lot, that could have advantages. Especially when you return after dark and everything is all tuned around.

I don't think its a good idea they moved the gear shifter from it's previous place. It is a important part of the car and moving it on the place where there were wipers it just wrong to me.
