Great video - but I have an allspice and the review of the third row doesn't reflect my experience. You can easily move the 2nd row forward (and nudge the front seats forward a little too) to find a balance of legroom. Often an adult in the third row would be behind a kid or vice versa. So it works well as a 5 plus 2. It's a stretch to call the Kodiaq a "proper" 7 seater by comparison.
They don't hold on to their value. I had an R-Line 190 DSG with a load of extras. Car was £41k new. I did 28k miles in 18 months and the best offer on trade-in was £22k. My advice is don't buy a new one. There are loads of ex-demonstrators about with 3k miles and 4 to 6 months old. Easily save yourself £10k on new price. As far as reliability is concerned, it was completely faultless. Absolutely brilliant car.
yep that was before covid pandemic... Now the prices have risen in the secondary market
Awesome video. I'm interested in purchasing this car & I live in NZ so I'm grateful for having the opportunity to learn more about this vehicle. Thankyou!
Superb Review.
I own Volkswagen Tiguan Highline Model purchased yesterday only.
I am loving the car.
I bought it last month; drove London to Cornwall (A road's route) without any tiredness all the way - just loving it!
Do you know or the Match spec comes with Wireless charging for mobile phones please?
Also, does it have voice activated mobile phone calling (when not connected to apple car play)? Thanks
Thank you sooo much for this video!! Now I know I want regular Tiguan. It looks so good with r line. Apsolutely beautiful.
It do believe that it is not a cool video to place a Tiguan R-Line besides a Tiguan Allspace (Trendline)...
The Allspace would look the same in front of it would have R-Line too, except some very hard to see little differences...
And that little difference in length produces a huge difference in the inside of you order it as 5 seater. I do have the AS as 5 seater and the Tiguan boot is way smaller than the one from the AS then. THAT is when it comes to the AS 👍
It is not true that the Kodiak is way cheaper. Configure both with the same engine, gearbox and 2/4wd level and nearly same trim/extras level, then the difference is not really big.
For the next it is nonsense to compare it with the X1 in the inside because the BMW is way more expensive then the VW. You can compare the Q3 with the X1 because they are in the same premium segment but not the Tiguan!
PS: sorry that "key hide thing" is ridiculous and I hope that should have been a joke 😉
I see a difference between the rear seats of these two cars.
Tiguan has a very small storage tray which you showed us at 06:47 near both edges of the seats to put some keys or similar small things. But tiguan allspace doesn’t, am i right ?
If i’m right it means total width of the rear seats of tiguan allspace is more than normal tiguan. It means families can put 2 child seats on rear seats and their mother or a nanny can have a space to sit between two child seats. In normal tiguan it’s impossible because there is just 20-25 cms of space between two child seats.
Can you correct me ?
They look different at the front because they’re different specs. The RLine spec AllSpace has the same front end as the RLine Tiguan in this video. 👍👍
Really liked the video. Interesting and informative
Awesome content as always!
Thank you for your expertise. Very helpful.
I like this guy. He’s a natural.
I like this care, I need buy one 2020, how about the all options you cane offer, and the price please thanks dear
thanks very comprehensive and useful report
Oh man! That R-Line is sweet! Here in the US we cannot get the smaller Tiguan nor can we get the diesel. Dual clutch transmissions aren’t on the Tiguans here. I like the steering wheel as well. It looks like it’s from the GTI and GLI over here. Shift paddles for the DSG is nice. Americans seem to hate diesels, dual clutch transmissions, and sporty suspensions. Not me though. Maybe I’m a secret European.
Same. Secret European 🙋🏼♀️
Ah Doug you've shown all the criminals the secret hide e hols.great review.
The LR discovery has also sliding and reclining seats, already since the 2016 model... so it's not something special as mentioned
That was good I like the presenter too. The ability to fold the front seat is a great feature for me.
Very helpful 👌
Why do VW make such a nice spec like the SEL and not put a reverse camera on them. But they put a camera in the match version and no led lights. VW need to sort you the spec issues.
How you close down front seats completely?
I have Tiguan from 2017 and it not possible.
I have a Tiguan too. You have to have that feature included in your trim or to select it as an option, of course before buying the.car. For instance, I have the first trim but I paid 900euros for comfort seats. Therefore the textile is better than the one for the first trim, both driver and passanger seats have back support, the kids have that table they can use. Be aware only the passanger seat can be closed down and seats adjustments need to be manual but not electrical. But it worths every penny.
Thx, v good vid and nice sum up. Got the tig 2 190 tdi diesel and fully agree with your test 👍🏾😎
edit: heart the short version is made in Wolfsburg/ Germany and the long version in Mexico. But maybe they already changed it. Personally would prefer German build cars...
Got the same as tested here, the R-Line Tech 230 PS. Absolutely love it, bit of power with plenty of toys thrown in. MPG is a bit crap but then I had an S4 Avant before that average 16.4MPG over 2 years so it's much better than that! No mention in the video of the looks of the car which to me is important, I think the R-Line spec with the 20" wheels looks fantastic, even more improved by adding running boards. Space wise for 2 adults, 2 growing children and 2 German Shepherds there's plenty of room, no where near as cramped as my old car.
but sadly, X1 doesnt have virtual cockpit!
The space under the seat is made for a first aid kit, I believe
Diesels - I have owned 2 Tiguans in the past 150 DSG’s With an av of 43mpg- Uk budget looming - I wonder what the hit on the motorist will be. Mercedes GlC 4 matic a very worthy contender and opponent I think !
I want to Tiguan with a V6 diesel in America
Toddlers catching up on their emails 😂
We just had allspace match trim 69 reg yes bj69 to lol oh well pulls very well will be pulling a 27 foot twin axle caravan to
Good informative review.
Spare tyre?
Good review. But how did you avoid saying ''for kids'' when talking about the two extra seats? Ha!
Got same one white R line ...lovely car...only seats in R leather its what is very uncomfort after long way ...
How you mean uncomfort? I like my black leather seats i also have a full r-line black style also white but special white not metallic white i love my car
Looks different in the front because of the allspace is a se/sel and the normal one is a r-line
Correct! As optical compare this is ridiculous to show in such a video...
I prefer vw but you get a lot more with Vauxhall for the money depends what badge you want
Great video he did sound a bit like Matt sometimes lol
Hon Channel looks like a mix of Matt and Doug DeMuro to me
I've got a 3008 to change this year, so do I stick with the 3008 or seriously consider the tiguan? Usual professional and personable review.
Peugeot 3008 1.6 turbo petrol EAT8 GT-line would be my pick. I wasn't keen on the manual boxes in them - but the 8 speed auto is great.
@@jgreen8339 cheers cj, happy new year.
john evans Hi mate. If your gonna consider a Tiguan I would only look at the r line model as it looks great and has lots of options/ kit on it. Also, you might want a change for a while. Have you got a certain budget in mind?
@@elliotsw8 I have to disagree. There is no such thing as a badly specced Tiguan and even the Match (second trim level up) comes with things like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Reversing Camera and self parking as standard. Tiguans may also not work out a great deal more than the 3008 on a PCP due to stronger residuals. I'd definitely consider the Tiguan.
@@johnevans6399 you're most welcome. Happy New year to you too. Hope you find a car that you like and works for you
how much longer us the allspace
What about Peugeot 5008 vs tiguan allspace compare it
Yup. Pretty sure toddlers are gonna have tons of emails to check while sitting int he back 😂
Quelle est la différence entre eux en longueur et en espace intérieur ??
21,5cm en longueur et 11cm entre les axes. Le coffre du Tiguan Allspace est gigantesque si on choisi seulment 5 chaises au lieu de 7. Le Tiguan regulier a pas mal d'espace dans le coffre aussi que dans l'interieur. Par consequent 4 adultes ou bien une famille avec 2 enfants peuvent voyager dans des conditions excellentes.
3rd row seating is a waste. I am glad I didn’t get that option. If you want the 3rd row seating? Look at an Atlas. I have the new 2020 R-line and loving it. Now if they come out with a stronger high performance engine in 2021. I will have to trade it in for it😬. Great car just wish it had a little more power on take off or passing a vehicle on the highway.
Does the Tiguan equate to the Skoda Karoq and the All Space to the Kodiak?
Tiguan is longer than Karoq/Ateca, and should be closer to the Karoq/Tarraco, but not identical.
Size comparison should go like this: 1. T-Cross/Kamiq/Arona, 2. T-Roc, 3. Karoq/Ateca, 4. Tiguan, 5. Allspace/Kodiaq/Tarraco.
@@madant7777 The Tiguan Allspace has identical interior dimensions to the Tarraco.
and due to sloping boot line, both are slightly smaller at the back than Kodiaq.
@@-monteforte5095 And a little narrower.
@@-monteforte5095 Yes, should've been 5. Allspace/Kodiaq/Tarraco. Fixed.
Please can you move the subscribe logo as it blocked the view of the price of the cars - Many thanks Clay.
Should of got both in the R line
remember third row isnt meant for people over 150cm according to vw
Love this presenter !! He is cute & entertaining and just full of great energy & charisma and has good taste in Vans!
Nice car but the suspension is so hard . We have the Tiguan 2021,1.5 ltr petrol., Sorry won't be getting another. The entertainment system is not brilliant either.
Those look like older model maybe watered down tiguans compared to the ones in the US...
Torn between this and the Peugeot 3008/5008
Why does he keep comparing it to the x1? The x1 is in a smaller class segment, so more comparable to the t-roc. The x3 is in the same size segment as this
Not fully true and you have to differ: the Tiguan sure can be compared with the X1. Three Allspace with the X3 and Q5.
But both can not be compared regarding prices and class: BMW and Audi is premium and VW a little bit below that...
190 bhp diesel is the Best Choice! Superior in terms of fuel consumption and it offers 400 Nm torque!
That's the one I have and it is a fantastic drive everyday.
05:30 so it can listen to tunes whilst stuck there
Allspace 3rd row seats are for kids only.
Small kids at that. I have a slim 5’ 6” 12yr old grandson - he found it uncomfortable and ‘tight’. OK for short distances, but anything over 50 miles without a break - forget it. The boot is also minuscule with row 3 up. Why no Touareg 3 row?
Well thieves could be watching this video
Now they now all the secret storage spaces
Thankfully due to your spelling the thieves won't know where the secret cubby holes are.
I see you edited this once already but you still left another mistake brains trust.
3 year warranty is piss poor compared to standard 5 year warranty other manufacturers give (even skoda in my country gives you 5 year warranty) - with some even giving you 7 years (kia)..
And?
For about 350,- EUR I upgraded my now 9 month old Allspace to 5 years warranty too. And those 350,- weren't really to "feel" because of the final discount...
So that argument is to forget. Sorry
5 year warranty standard in Australia
It’s like 30 cm longer
I love diesels but the way the world is i they will probably ban them soon from all citys,so petrol is my next car
I have the regular tiguan but will replace it with the allspace once my lease-period is over. And thats for the reason of having 4 kids. But when it comes to all review videos, i found it strange that grown ups arent meant to be in the third row. I mean, its like the Iso fix, a solution made especially for the kids seats, so when thinking of the third row, i mean its made for families with more than 3 kids. And yet we have always grown ups reviewing the third row as semi bad for its small space. Try make a new video having a 12 eyar old sits there and from that point of view judge the situation.
I have a regular Tiguan too. I would compare with a 7 seater Tarraco or Kodiaq as they are cousins and it seems Kodiaq has better space. Others say that Kia Sorento has better space, it is very reliable but I'm not a fan of, even if the new Sorento has a nice design. By the way, Skoda has a tone of accesories simply clever, compatible with VW such as door bin support, removable holders ...and they are cheaper than VW accesories. I had a Skoda and I bought all possible accesories or life style items so I know what they do. By the way, Skoda has rubber covers for the central tunel which are perfect to keep the carpet on the tunel clean. For exampke, Skoda Superb 3 cover is compatible with regular Tiguan. Allspace... I don't know.
Hard to really find value in this, save a little money and get the excellent Seat Ateca or spend a little more and get the BMW X1.
dsldude1152 X1????? 😂 yeah let’s get a family of 6 in a X1
@@whyme4476 Was making reference to just the regular Tiquan.
Seat Ateca especially the facelift looks very well, it drives excellent and let's not forget that the quality is similar as you have the same engines and even a lot of buttons are identical (cousins in VAG familly), but Tiguan is more practical and the boot is bigger. Of course, there is about 14 cm between them. Tiguan is 4,48m and Ateca 4.34m. Therefore it's easier to park an Ateca in not so big parking lots. I did a drive test with an Ateca when it was released 2017 and I was pleased. However, I've chosen in 2019 the fat German lady as I call my Tiguan sometimes and I have no regret. If you choose Ateca, be aware that FR version has a harder suspension which is good for a sporty driving, but not for comfort.
Why do presenters always bag the 3rd row seats??? Ffsakes it’s a family car. Children are meant to be in the 3rd row and it’s plenty space for them. Before they are even adults they will be driving around in their own cars. What we need is for them to seat a child in the back so we can see the proper use of the car. Ofcourse it’s not designed to seat 7 adults.
Aww...humour 😄
I'd take the new X3, thanks
Same. Its so nice, especially the M40i version. And they’re good value of you get a nearly new car.
Not the same price
Are they 7 seaters
Buy the Skoda karok instead if you only want five seats.
The Tiguan is still a bit bigger than the Karoq and has more powerful engines and better quality and more equipment.
@ross: Bullshit! You can compare the Tiguan with the Karoq but not the Allspace. You can get the Allspace as 5 seater too (like the Kodiak too) and that car is way bigger in the boot and inside!
What kind of gigantic car is it 🚘
And only diesel cars like bmw, a big no to SUV and 4x2 and 4x4 u might as well drive petrol.BMW on top that is for the family.Since you are going for fuel lets do Chev Camaro V8 and Mustang is not bad because GM dont import the Camaro to SA
Diesel Diesel and diesel
Go and get one. Where is the problem?
I do own a 9 month old full equipped Tiguan Allspace 5 seater R-Line with the 190PS TDI and it is simple to say great 😎👍
I had an R-Line as a courtesy car and couldn’t believe how poor the ride quality was and I drive an R32
the dislikes are the other companys.
doug demuro : th........i.......s
why do all dougs always say the word 'this' in the very beginning of a car review
Reliable Car ?
Shame that the problematic and unrefined DSG is fitted!
VW should fit the same Aisin 8 speed auto to European Tiguan as in the USA!
The dsg is fantastic. I don't know where your information comes from but the dsg is the gearbox for most german car manufacturers as its fast smooth and proven to be working without a problem.
Palla Hammer Aisin auto is used in. NAS Tiguan.
DSG is a very unreliable gearbox, don’t take my word for it just google the subject!🙄
The Tiguan competes with the Rav4,CRV,CX5.
The X1 competes with the Q3,GLA,XC40....people who want Luxury crossovers sneer on VW the same way people who want a Tiguan sneer on Qashqai,Ateca,Sportage because they are smaller,more plastic, and weaker engines.
Not fully true, you have to differ between class AND size!
And therefore the X1/Q3 fits to the Tiguan in size and X3/Q5 to the Allspace.
But in prize both Tiguans are a little bit below class means premium.
Regarding the engines: all engines of the Tiguans can be bought in the Q3 either. So that's not correct...
@@MN-ch7pc Size of the vehicle is different than segment, the Tiguan is not Luxury it is upscale, people don't cross shop a Volkswagen with a Mercedes.
@@jpch8814 sure not luxury, but gimme an Audi Q3 with the same space of an Tiguan Allspace? You won't get one. So you have to compete with the Q5 or X3 in terms of size.
The Passat Combi for example has the size of the A6 Avant, so in terms of size you can to compare them .
You know what I mean?
I needed an new car early 2019 and compared A4 Avant, Q5 and Tiguan Allspace. But I had 3x A4 Avant now and with same outer sizes it is smaller than the Tiguan Allspace, besides the Q5 too. So I have chosen the Tiguan Allspace 5 seater. Plus with nearly same setup the Q5 was about 18.000 EUR more in prize which is ridiculous...
Gen 1 was a horrible yoke. Bouncey, wobbly, unrefined.
SKINCARE ROUTINE PLZ
The problem with this VW is the engine in the USA you get a very sluggish 185hp engine. And dont attempt to get on the highway with this!
Right, but it still makes 140 mph and 0-60 in 8 seconds...
Writing as European: what is the max on your highways? I thought about 85mph? 😂
In Germany I can full throttle that car and am familiar with this. I am sure you do not even know how this feels like and what this is like 😉 So don't be ridiculous...
I have the 2019 Tiguan you speak of and I have no issue ever getting onto the highway or passing anyone. You fail to mention the torque numbers. My Tiguan moves. Not super fast off the line but once you are going that turbo is no slouch. It’s a proven engine and it works for this vehicle. It’s not a racer anyway and isn’t meant to be. It’s competitive with everything in the segment. I drove them all. And it’s comfortable refined and built like a tank!! I love mine.
@@2004cyrus coming off a 2017 macan s lease my wife liked the tiguan so i test drove it and its a pig with no power. Were waiting on the new 2020 alfa or new atlas cross sport. Many youtube test of the tiguan will say the same as i did. Its under powered. But enjoy yours.
Monza 991 well for the low $20’s price I feel it’s more than adequate. I never said it was fast and nobody else does of course; I’m not under an illusion. It performs with the class. Obviously the Porsche should be faster for another $50k. Funny thing is, I also have a 2016 Infiniti Q50 with the V6. It is fast. But my point is going to be that Mercedes and Infiniti and many other manufacturers are all going to a 2.0T. So the Tiguan is looking more & more like it’s more expensive competitors. I’ve told everyone it’s not fast off the line but it pours on non-stop torque once you get going. I truly never have a problem merging or passing or with keeping up in any situation. Other cars shoot out fast then I catch up and pass them and they are out of torque. I will also be looking at the Atlas Cross Sport too when it comes out; but it won’t be a rocket either. And it will cost $41-$55k

EU cars are too expressive.
Better to get a Toyota.
Why the shit they call it all space when even dog cannot sit in 3rd row ? Knees up \suffocated
BMW X1 is still a better buy
Nope.....
Tiguan in R line trim > X1
But X3 > Tiguan R line
@@elliotsw8 NOT... !
1. VOLKSWAGEN
2. Mercedes-Benz
3. Bmw
4. Audi
and it is clear !
X1 competes with Audi Q3 not Tiguan.
Just dull inside
Man, you are a small one, you have plenty of space in every car...
“Toddlers in the back, catching up on their emails”....... is he aware that he is still talking?
Someone has never heard of humour... 🤪
doesn't matter which appeals, VW warranties are worthless
Nah I just wait and get a Tesla Model Y.
BMW X1 is utter shit.. Tiguan is far better
Not a very good review really and a Tiguan is better than an X1 in every way that’s a fact.
heman691 Tiguan DSG is poor, seats and interior quality is no match for X1. X1 engines are also superior.
Tiguan’s only plus is it’s slightly larger cabin.
@@666DW How is the DSG poor? I think it's an absolutely fantastic gearbox.
EasyPCUK DSG gearboxes are known for their low speed jerkiness when driving around town. Other than that, they’re fine.
@@rajjy1976 About that you're not wrong, but only if you drive it like you would any other automatic. If you tap the accelerator quickly before setting off it completely solves that issue and they're smooth as anything.
EasyPCUK I had a DSG Tiguan a bunch of years ago as a hire car. Drove it around town a lot. Can’t say I noticed any jerkiness worth mentioning. People just like to latch on to what motoring journalists say and repeat it. If it was THAT bad I’m sure VW engineers would’ve made the appropriate adjustments.
Reliability = Poor. Which is why you wouldn't buy one
Reliability for the new Tiguan is actually above average, it is not like a Rav4 but it is far better than the older Gen.
Michael Simpkins I own a new Tiguan I hope it’s reliable but I did get the 6 year / 72k warranty. If it’s unreliable I’ll trade it in and cut my losses. I came out of a Mazda. Prior to that I owned 3 Volkswagens and they were reliable up to 110k but then I traded them for newer cars. So far I’m very pleased as I have 7200 miles. It’s built like a tank and very smooth quiet refined with comfortable seats. I drove the CR-V & Rav-4 and Mazda CX-5. The Tiguan felt the best in every way hands down and I bought it right after the test drive. I had spent months driving the models I just mentioned multiple times and didn’t feel excited or assured about any of them. Then spontaneously drove to VW dealer and that test drive sold me fast: I felt great as soon as I got in and turned on the engine. I didn’t show my emotion to the salesman but I knew in my head I was going to get numbers and buy it. It felt that good to me. And they didn’t play games on price, they came off $5000 on the first offer: I know VW is struggling due to DieselGate but that didn’t deter me at all. That long warranty gave me additional peace of mind. I do recommend Tiguan and everyone else I know that has one really likes theirs.
