I test drove the CRV and the RAV4. Tiguan definitely has a better smoother ride and quieter cabin than both. I ended up getting a 2019 Tiguan which comes with the long warranty, the 2020 doesn’t.
Robby M if you had to chose between the rav4 and the crv which one would you choose
Daleon Gayle probably the Honda because the interior is nice and the engine is more quiet/refined than the Toyota
Robby M But Toyota is better than Honda
A CZcams Channel with no name how? That always depends on the model, your needs and so on and so forth. Honda better suited my needs and toyota is better for others. Reliability is about the same.
How is the reliability?
In the cargo area VW gives you a light, a 12 volt power source and a little fold out hook great for holding your grocery bags. And that model has a cargo cover that’s stored under the floor and removable to install to cover your cargo.
Honestly they most helpful video so far thank you for comparing to the base models and when you would and would not get with certain models!
Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching! 😁
Awesome job! Love your reviews!
Awesome!
We have a 2019 SEL Premium R-Line w/4motion and a 2018 Audi Premium Plus A4.
We find ourselves choosing the Tiguan for our weekend driving. Excellent riding vehicle.
Thanks for the review, nice job!!😊
Thank you!
I had a Honda CRV 5 speed auto diesel for 5 years and it was a brilliant car and other than normal servicing it never went wrong, it had 115,000 miles on it and still drove like new. I have just bought a 190bhp Tiguan diesel auto with a 7 speed DSG gearbox and it is far quicker than the Honda, but I don't get the feel of the quality that the Honda had and wonder if it will still be as good after 100,000 miles.
Great Review!!! Here are my gripes: cheap looking headlamps, sunroof cover doesn’t fully block sun when closed, rear end does not have separate amber turn signals...JMHO
I love my 2019 R line Black. I am glad you guys got to review a Tig, maybe next time review the AWD and try Sport mode. I will give you a real good kick in the ........
Great review!
Thanks! 😁
I love the simple looks of the Tiguan, but darn I sure wish it had ventilated seats available. I live in AZ, and that nearly makes it a deal-breaker. Very nice review, guys, thank you!
Thank you for the info about the warranty change! I had no idea. I am seriously considering buying a Tiguan. Great review as always!
That's what we're here for! Glad to help!
Tiguan is very nice, my friend said it drives just like his $50,000 Mercedes SUV
Awesome video as always! This is a decent car! No rush, but can I request a Golf please! Y’all are awesome!😸😻😸
Thanks! We'd love to review a Golf soon!
Informative. Worth watching
Thank you!
I traded a KIA Soul which was a decent run about for a 2020 VW Tiguan. The difference was drastic. Having a vehicle that doesn’t whine or doesn’t feel unsafe at speeds of 45 was refreshing. The handling on road trips from Pensacola Fl to San Diego Ca were smooth and comfortable. Winter driving from Seattle to eastern Pennsylvania in snow and ice across I-80 felt confident and sure footed the entire time even when “driving by braille” when the snow was falling heavier and faster than it could be cleared (just to get to a safe sit-out-the-weather spot). For what my Tiguan’s price I’m impressed with the handling and versatility.
I know that I do not have a European performance tourer. I do have braking that has proven more that adequate when in a variety of near hard braking events. Out of conditioning as a commercial driver I still avoid passing unless it can be done with economy in mind, partly due to having an insurance linked driving recorder, how I drive the acceleration is again adequate for my needs. As far as reliability my Tiguan has not given me one problem during my road trips in the lower 48 states (there’s 4 that I haven’t explored yet) from +110f desert no pavement driving to really bad idea -25f blizzard driving I haven’t found an environment that “he” couldn’t best while seemingly eager for more.
I have changed my oil and oil filter every 6,500km, breather filter every month and use mid-grade fuel from fuel chains that I trust and I’ve had tires replaced 5 times now. So far no crazy unexpected costs.
I would recommend the Tiguan for people who like to feel safe and also might get a wild hair and take a road trip or just around town where cargo and passengers are handily swallowed up. Those seeking spirited sport driving or the need for flashy will find the Tiguan woefully disappointing though.
I have the 2018 vw sel premium love it. 33 on the highway 27 city and the most I've gotten out of it is 38mpg
The 3rd seat is vest reserved for children but I’d like to add that the second seat slides forward 8” and that helps tremendously. I use mine a lot on my 2019. I like that the second row has a 40/20/40 split on all models.
Please let us have more if you can GOOD JOB
Yay finally!!!! I am enjoying your new reviews
Awesome!
@@CarConfections best review but Kia is an endless money pit
I enjoy my 2019 Tiguan SEL
@@masternobody1896they catch fire.
I love mine , just wish it had more pick up- just like all 4 cylinder
Best part about these videos is that I recognize all the roads and areas!
And in addition, Mason, I’m glad you’re adding some honesty to your review about the rear seat comfort. Is that a CD player or the mapping for the navigation in the glove box?
It's a CD player. The nav is on a SD card.
2010Supertube
It's a CD player
After owning an older model of that car and got in a deer collision it's a nice car. I miss my vw tiguan.
Well done. I’m in the post-purchase CZcams binge. You covered everything great. 👍 Coming from a gti it’s a little underpowered for the weight but sufficient. Keep it in sport for sure and turn off the auto start/stop.
Thanks! And congrats on your new Tiguan! What color did you get?
@@CarConfections White with R-line. The R-line was a must!
And to get in the 3rd row, you can slide the 2nd row forward and not by just folding the seat down.
I love mine. I wish it had more pick up but like all4 cylinders it doesn’t move. Great in snow. Great ride a little noisy in cabin.
Just get it tuned
German are better than korean or japanese when it comes to comfort
My 2019 atlas seats are horrible. This plus fuel economy are the reasons I’m going to rate it in. Prevented me from buying the Tiguan as well because of the horrible seats.
Great review! Those head lights do not look good on that design.
As this car ages, simple maintenance becomes quite expensive. You'd think you're nurturing an uber luxury car. I love the conservative design, ride and performance but future maintenance scares me.
The new Tiguan is much more reliable than older models, we have MK2 Tiguan since 2016 in Europe and they are doing well. VW fixed most of their older issues.
Wireless charging is not standard in Canada. I won’t ever use it anyways but it would cost more for that and I got the 2020 high line which is the highest trim line
The fact that they lowered their warranty mileage sounds like they think their car is not reliable and they want to cash in on repairs.
And cash in on the separate warranty they sell
I have the 2018 4 motions se with cloth seats. I would only recommend buying this vehicle if you get the premium interior. The cloth seats stain easily and the interior feels cheap and plain. Definitely consider other competitors at the price point.
Pretty sure cloth staining is 100% due to user error
are the homelink buttons an option. My 2020 Tiguan doesn't have them.
I love the 2020 VW Tiguan it’s very nice and a great price!!!
Wait 3 years!
@@TheFoxwiz ok
It is a fantastic vehicle, even going 80 there’s barely any noise and hitting potholes is like nothing. Smooth ride.
6:07 Saw my dream BMW! That X7 in blue
My problem with the Tiguan is that they updated the trim levels with 2020 and that removed the sel premium without the r line package. Now you can get the sel for about the same price that the sel premium was hovering around with dealer incentives with less features. I was going to get this but after they did that and lowered the value for the price, it took this car out the running. (correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, I just noticed that when I went to look at the 2020 models on the VW website)
Their marketing is pathetic, but I promise you that the R-line is well-worth the price, especially in pure white paint. Only if you care about the exterior, of course.
Before you diehard RAV4 and CRV fans come up and say “I want reliability🤓” this car is reliable when you maintain it so be quiet.
I would be very surprised if the Rav 4 or Cr-v have anywhere near the family room of this VW.
I owned a 2019 Tiguan for 3 months and the space inside doesn’t compare to a CR-V. The Tiguan feels cramped in the middle row. It should have never had a 3rd row as its useless and takes up valuable cargo space. I replaced it with a 19 CR-V and haven’t looked back at the VW
I know you review Volkswagen cars now, but you never compare them to others in its class. I like your videos, though.
I like the wheels, otherwise pretty bland. Good job guys! :D
It looks way better than the Honda and Toyota. Honda and Toyota's Vehicle design their vehicles from Gotham city's batmobile.
Great option for a CUV
VW Makes the best cars on the Planet.
Absolutely agreed!
No Rev 4 is more reliable
Not sure if these brothers mentioned that VW is including 5 years of no cost VW Car Net which has some really useful benefits. I believe remote start is one of them.
Thank you for mentioning that
Those headlights look so cheap. Great video as always!
Same as crv and rav 4. Always uses cheap halogen bulbs that you can barely see at night.
Lucien L not true at all. The new RAV4 comes standard with LEDs and the CRV at least comes standard with projector halogens. This is absolutely pathetic looking.
I own one and the headlights aren’t an issue for every long. They melt the snow fast! Work great! And the Tiguan is excellent! No regrets on my 2019!! I highly recommend
Lucien L wrong wrong wrong. You must be 16 years old. What kind of light do you thing vehicles have used for the last 30 years? LED is really new because most cars haven’t adopted them yet unless they are luxury cars. Halogen where all there was in mainstream cars. The Xenons and others were on higher end but the fact that halogens are still used by most manufacturers in 2020 tells you the lights are proven and worked for longer than you’ve been alive. We have better technology now but it’s taking years for LED to be ubiquitous in automobiles.
Dylan F you sound like a spoiled teenager.
Is the Tiguan better than the cx5
The RAV4 is better than All of them.
Mason u are a big kid for the third row The third row is only for kids ten years old or less 4WD? Off-road capabilities?
First! Awesome!
Nice!!
awesome! my family is looking forward to purchase an acura mdx or a toyota camry! please reply!
@Daniel Hernandez wdym?
@Daniel Hernandez okay?
Mauricio Calero lmao, you asked for people to reply and he did
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 Facts. This man giving a lot of attitude for someone who asked for opinions
593rd view, 37th comment,66th like with 2 dislikes!
I’m not a German car guy per say. I respect some things they do, but I believe they are in my opinion anti-consumer in many ways.
Is it model has as option fold flat front seat? European model has it...
The north american models don't have this feature, it's only available in some other markets.
@@wocaomade thanks! Very stupid decision...
point4894 you are welcome, there are also many other price-cutting in North American model, such as:
- No adjustable center armrest
- No DCC option
- No 9.2 inch infotainment screen
Being built to ever tighter budgets huh? The 2019 R looks much better. The Golf R wagon is the go these says. If only the DSG had better software and they had a proper high performance variant.
Do vw arteon
@Daniel Hernandez The 2019 model is the same🤷♂️
That 3rd row is a big disappointment. Doesn’t look like much room for infants car seat. Overall everything look good.
Fuel economy sucks! Does not compare to CRV or RAV4
This will Never come close to a Toyota RAV4 HYBRID or petrol. never even for tech and safety
R u going to reply
Less reliable than RAV4 but maybe the same or more than CR-V.
Honda The Power Of Dreams
Tiguan has an automatic transmission manufactured by Toyota. Compared to the CRV which has CVT, it's reliable enough.
@@DecemberMoon RAV-4 has an automatic. CR-V has a CVT.
Honda The Power Of Dreams
In the US rav4 has automatic, but in other countries it also has CVT 🙂
Finally
I have bought Volkswagen before and from my past experience, I will never buy another one again. A piece of junk.
why? what happened/
And I purchased two GTI's over the last decade. The first, the last of the MK6 generation was flawless for 80,000 miles, 40K of which were after a stage I tune. The second, a MK7.5 model I've owned for two years and 25k miles without a single issue. Not one. The fact is that the vast majority of new car buyers of any brand can expect to experience few issues of any kind and no major issues over a 100K miles or more.
Everyone has their own good and bad experiences with cars, I’ve never met anyone with a bad experience with vw. I’m on my 2nd now because I trust they make good cars, not like Toyota but I like everything else about German cars way more. Tested out the rav4 and besides the hybrid being good on gas I did not like the car nearly as much
Yesssssss
Oh hell noooo ooh oh ho 😂😂🎶🎶
Really though, absolutely NOT.
Yuck. Pass.
The electrics will let you down, my stop start dose not work, the infotainment screen goes blank in cold wether, and the adaptive cruise radar has become unreliable my golf isn’t three tears old yet,
Boring looking car. Too expensive, too unreliable.
I will answer that...NO. Toyotas are reliable.
Sir Sweetness
This video is about Tiguan, not Toyota.

Read the title before you comment.
@@sirsweetness8332 I had toyota Rav4 and got rid of it. If you wanna drive boring cars so many years for realibility go head. But if you wanna feel handling the road, smooth drive, amazing sound system, better interior and exterior design go for this car, telluride hyundai any car but not toyota. Sorry but I am not gonna drive for reability ugly car like 2020 highlander.
To dated for me I’ll pass
Give me A Kia Seltos
Seltos has to compete with Skoda Karoq
Interior looks cheap af
Andre N the r line is actually good quality
Stay away from Volkswagen. Many breakdowns, engine issues, powertrain issues, electrical issues, and cheap parts. You will be sorry with a VW. A RAV4 or Honda is the way to go. Don't believe me? Google it.
That might’ve been your VW. I have 5 friends still driving VW’s from 10 years ago. So spread facts not just about YOUR car.
I have a 2018 Tiguan and it has never left me on the side of the road. So far one of the best vehicles I have owned.
Gus Morales it’s a nice looking vehicle, but it is painfully slow. I rented a 2020 Tiguan for a work trip here in Canada, and while it was very comfortable and had a nice interior for the class, it had severe trouble merging and passing on one lane highways. Even a new CRV or RAV4 is miles faster than the Tiguan.
@@caidenn_mb owned many different model year VW's and I can say that they are fudging junk when compared to the Japanese cars. Now, I only drive Toyota cars.
ASMR Fox - I am guessing you didn’t google the issues with VW. Not a problem
