Superb car for the money. My 2018 TDI, R line, Allspace with full suite of accessories, at only 26k continues to justify my choice of vehicle. Love it!!

Just bought a used 2020 Tiguan SE with a nice package and the panoramic sunroof. I travel a lot for the company I work for, have driven lots of Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Hyundai &Kias are all nothing but plastic and a boring drive even with all the bells and whistles, Toyota are clumsy to drive and an odd mix of technology on the interior that does not match the exterior, also a bit cheap looking interior. The Tiguan which is my first VW just looks more polished , more refined interior, elegant and also fun to drive, reminds me of a go cart, I also like that the infotainment screen does not look like a bolted on tablet like everyone else, even though the digital dash looks nice I prefer my analog dash, just looks sportier, plus I have the All space version, it is a roomy midsized suv that I really enjoy. Some of my cons: Engine sound is strange growls, a little underpowered, gas mileage could have been better, but other than that pretty impressed with this vehicle.

162TSI R-line is a better car than RAV4, although I own a RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid AWD. BUT you are actually paying for the "Better" and it should be better when the price is 10K more.

Ive got a 2019 R-line tiguan with a 2.0 tsi 230hp engine (same as the 7.5 GTI engine) and its simply a pleasure to drive. Such an improvement to my previous 2012 model Tiguans. Its fully specked out with all the extras and im not noticing anything really new feature wise with the new 2021 models in comparisson to my 2019 one except for the new touch controlls that I would rather not have. Yes the DSG can sometimes be a little clumsy in normal driving or Eco modes but when put into sport or manual mode it really unleashes the full potential of the engine and just goes like a rocket lol. Coupled with a set of 19 inch wheels it handles amazingly in any situation, even on the windy mountain roads here in Switzerland as its possible to change the dynamic steering to improve the handling of the car. All in all if your after a Tiguan and dont like the newer interiors then I say go for one of the previous models with a decent engine.

People that buy a Rav4 are different clients than the ones that buy a Tiguan. You buy a Rav4 if you only care about fuel economy and reliability while you buy a Tiguan if you value comfort, quality, and a much more dynamic refined ride. Nothing bad with either choice, I personally find the Rav4 ugly and tinny.

Worst car I’ve ever owned. The Tiguan is plagued with quality issues and VW are not on your side if you get a dud. You’ll be left high and dry if you have issues. Our Tiguan had a defective driveline and VW washed their hands of the problem by simply saying The Tiguan gearbox has a wide range of variance between vehicles and they deem the noise and vibration we had to be ‘within acceptable tolerances’ even though the head techs at two dealers said things were very unhealthy with the DSG gearbox. Never again. VW are not honourable and do not back their warranty.
