- The newly refreshed Tiguan is a premium option to those who need cavernous size but don't want to drain themselves of fifty grand. Starting below 30 grand, the tiguan makes for an attractive option on paper when compared to the Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4, Subaru Forester and Mazda CX-5. Find out how the Tiguan stacks up to the competition and who this is for in my full review.

**The wheels on the SEL are 20s**
Finally an honest VW review,the Tiguan is very underrated I have no regrets 💯
I’ve test-driven the Tiguan a few times. Not the most powerful drivetrain (but perfectly adequate). But its handling is really sharp for a family SUV.
I actually preferred driving it compared to all the other non-luxury compact SUVs. It even felt better than the CX-5, though that might be because I felt the CX-5 had large blind spots.
Not gonna lie, I think VW styling is one of the best no matter what segment they're in.
It's really a shame... in the price segment there is not a better looking suv than the tiguan.. however the reliability and repair costs in America will keep the masses away
@@tylerhansen99870 ? We've had good luck with Volkswagen in our family. We've even had some 40 year old rabbits keep hopping
These need the 2.0T from the GTI!
At the SEL price point, it really needs it!
So many options to choose from I don't know if I would buy the Tiguan I would prefer other options. u look good today big biceps
Had an ‘18 Tiguan SEL 4motion. Great vehicle and no problems at all. It is slower than most but I’d take it over competitors.
Picked up the 23 High line Rline, it’s a heavy beast.
Only a gym enthusiast can recognize another. Looking sharp! Keep it up man!
Thanks!

Good review. Got my attention.
Thanks
I did a draggy run on my 2024 Tiguan SEL R-Line and it did 8.06s to 60mph, it’s still not quick but it feels ok, I would like a 7-7.5s
Pls help me my 2022 r line does not open with feet anymore it did one or two times and also wireless changing does not working on my one
Nice Review……I have a ‘2021 Tiguan SE
I really like the looks of the R-Line Black. Would you prefer the top trim SEL over it though?
Me personally, no, I think the se r line black has every feature I'd want like the pano roof, ambient lighting, bsm and leather, so I'd save the extra couple of grand. But if you really want the upgraded stereo and ventilated seats, then an SEL might be worth the jump (which isn't too big if you were already getting awd)
@@Realistick Great insight! Thank you! The digital cockpit is the same with both trims right?
@@---ll9qe he explains it in the video but the SEL R Line has the larger 10.25” screen
@@kevs2good133 thx. I ordered my R-Line Black with Cinnamon in May. Got it early August.
Is the Tiguan better than the Kodiak in your opinion in terms of stability and reliability, or what do you think?
We actually do not have the kodiaq so I can't add anything to that conversation unfortunately, but thank you for watching!
That bar is to move forward the seats! The 2020 Tiguan also has it.
Yes, but on the five passenger model, the seats don't move (hence the joke).
@@Realistick Hmm, my 5 seat model has back seats that move.... only in Canada?
Drive the SE w 18”
Shorts and no socks. Professional car reviewer.
You clicked on a car review and instead of commenting on the car, you tell me you don’t know what no-show socks are😂
The rims on the SEL R line are actually 20 inches not 19 but enjoyed the video... just bought one last week pearl white
pure white or onyx white?
6:13 I disagree. I’ve compared a 2021 Audi A6 with the B&O and a 2018 beetle with the fender audio and I think the beetle has way more bass.
Interesting observation, the fender system in the beetle and the tiguan are going to feel different because of their size difference (and the hardware differs usually, impreza Harmon Kardon is different from Outback Harmon Kardon) so I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Can't say I have tried a beetle's system, but the A6's was great when I tuned it to my preferences!
Price is high. The updates on the front are a nice improvement in my opinion. Would like some other color choice other than black, gray, or beige inside, though. I, too, think the real buttons on the steering wheel are better than the touch. Same the HVAC controls. The Arteon has the same setup. Personally, it feel its a step backwards when the other 3 dial setup works so well. The should have just jazzed up the dials. Give the dials a new finish (maybe a polished outer ring and textured center and knurling on the knob) ? Too much shiny black inside and not enough variation. I would love to save the $1000 or so on the moonroof and have a delete option. I never use the things, but I can use the $1000! You'd think VW would smack in a 200+ hp engine and give some excitement behind the wheel for those who want it. They've got the motors and tunes!
I agree with all of that too, if they could make a tuned version that makes closer to gti numbers, that would make it more worth it in the upper 37-40k range, then it would be an awesome package. Those dials are ugly and id like some upgraded physical ones over that touch stuff too. Audi kills it with the A5 and A4 hvac controls, I wish vw could take some queues from them. The features you have at the base level are pretty good, and an SE or SE R line comes with all of the features that a limited Forester or CRV EX-L so I would say that it's right where it needs to be outside of the top SEL in terms of price but it just depends what your priorities are to justify that price.
@@Realistick Good observation. Priorities definitely have a role in justifying the price. VW acquired Audi. They've got access to the parts. Look under the hood of the VW's and you'll find the Audi logo cast in to many of the parts.
@@ksorsomeplace You definitely will find that, they use a tuned version of this engine in a lot of Audis too, they just cost cut a bit too much. I'm curious what the actual cost difference would be if they borrowed from the Audi parts bin.
@@Realistick My guess, not much. It is likely only minor mechanical differences and different ECU programming. The engine is part of an engine family (all sharing the same basic parts as I understand it).
Here in Israel a similar trim is around 70000 $, which is actually a good price for Israel. Now the ridiculous thing is that they ask 3000 $ more for the moonroof! Thanks god it's optional, but people mostly take it - I call it "take it to bake it"! 🤣
Which do you think is the better buy between the SE and the R-Line Black
For me, I like the touches of the r line black, the parking sensors, ambient lighting and I was probably going to add the pano roof anyway so it wouldn't be a big price bump over a panoramic roof SE model. So I would go r line for me personally. If you can live without the pano roof and/or don't care about the style as much, I'd go SE!
@@Realistick that makes a lot of sense especially the pano roof comment, i do like the pano roof and adding that to the SE pretty much puts it in R Line price range. So I think I’m leaning more towards the R Line now
@@MrCoachab which did you go with?
@@southrichmondtofl I went with the R-Line and we don’t have any regrets
VW out here adding a self destruct lever just in case
That was cool! Nice touch, VW!
That's the latch to move the back seat back and forth.
@@jjslrusa did you not watch the video? /s
Is it anything available on the market right now to make this engine a little bit quicker I’m talking about at least five seconds
No, these are never going to be remotely that fast. Buy a used SQ5 with a warranty if that's what you want!
You can get an APR Plus engine control chip upgrade (i.e. software) that will add more horsepower and torque (total HP 284, torque 270 lb/ft) and still keep it compliant with emissions laws. There are lots of Golf/GTI engine mods out there that would work on this engine too. APR cost is about $500.

Go down a hill! 🤣
Is like driving a big golf but just so slow. 8.9 sec vwoa really missed their chance and didn't bring the R Tiguan here
i love you... volkswagen
Needs more HP!

As I've said a million times the cup holders need a cover. The seat selection is just adequate and could be a lot better (especially for 6'4 drivers like myself). I hope they add dual zone climate control, and for heaven sake another USB port in the rear. Nowadays, everybody in the car carries a cell phone, so 4 ports should be the standard from now forward.
Too bad the center console doesn't extend or ratchet anymore (a traditional VW feature). Note to all car makers, stop treating rear seat passengers as if they're in steerage.
BTW, what they don't tell you about the CR-V or the RAV4 is that overall the VW is more refine and the ride of the car is far superior to the other two (dynamic chassis control)
In the US, these don't have dcc, and they do have dual automatic climate control.
There’s a 12V in the back where you can plug in a 3 USB adapter.
Agree. The driving experience is good on Tiguan, except I don't know when Tiguan will have issues on the highway.
@@lomoyang3034 VW aren't top on the reliability list I know (no German car is), but you could say that about any car you drive to be fair.

20 inches
Those are 20" wheels, not 19.

@@Realistick better send big flowers to the parents of the kids you killed.
Humility when in error goes a long way.
@@whatthe6532 That is hilariously dramatic but I am sorry if this caused actual concern. I get this comment occasionally so I've stopped taking it seriously because usually people that mention it are just trying to shit on the video for any reason they can. This is an abandoned parking lot used by a dealership for employee parking, we go slow and exercise caution.
@@Realistick fair call.
@Лоредан my psychiatrist assures me that is not the case.
I did a test drive yesterday. I have a CX5, and here is my thought.
1. Tiguan has 10-20% more cabin noise than CX5. With 60m/h speed, CX5 is between 60-65db, Tiguan is between 65-74db.
2. Tiguan seat is the most uncomfortable seat no matter the leatherent or leather seat.
3. Anyone who says Tiguan is quiet on youtube is either a liar or numb.
After finding a long re-call history of Tiguan, I ordered a new Subaru outback ... I wouldn't buy any VW or Audi. I mean, if someone wants to try German model, then there is Benz and BMW .. right?
If someone wants to lease a VW, then it's fine. Quote: "It's expensive to be poor."
That's because the CX5 comes with 19 wheels and fatter tires. while the VW comes with 20 & 21 thus more road noise. I personally prefer a fatter tire which is usually quieter but the shorter sidewall on the Tiguan = better corner performance. Most quiet car is the new Lexus RX350
@@coreyfreeman6226 Not exactly. 2022 Tiguan comes with 18-20 depend on trim level, there is no 21inch for 2022. You can verify my conclusion on VW website.
I didn't check the wheel of my CX5. But I think you are correct about the tires. But when comes to the wind noise, Tiguan has lourder wind noise than CX5, probably due to it's boxy design.
And you shouldn't compare these two with RX350...RX350's competitor should be GLC, GLE, X5 etc.
You are correct about the performance part. The handling, body-roll is better on Tiguan. Personally, I don't really care about performance for any model at non-luxury level.
I purchased a mazda cx5 and returned three days later, my wife purchased a cx5 and she hated and returned a week later. The center counsel in cx5 widens at front and hits the right leg. It is good car but claustrophic for me. Im 6. 2 and needed better leg room. My wife and I both bought vw taos and they are much better then the maxda cx5. And it is cheaper then even the tiguan, it replaces the older vw jetta wagon. I think Tiguan is a nice upgrade to taos.
It doesnt matter if it slow, get a motorcycle
Probably the most unreliable brand out there
Guess you haven’t heard of Kia or Hyundai. Their quality is so shit. I’ll buy Toyota before I buy Kia.
No you are wrong, VW is no less reliable than other brands. They are actually really reliable, the power trains are well tested and reliable along with all other components.
@@MrRyuken555 exactly VW owns several premium brands and is the first of many automotive innovations yes VW has had its ups and downs in the reliability department but most of the critics are going off the past, I guess kia and Hyundais engines blowing up on the side of the road is the way to go in 2023 😂
