Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent small SUV with a spacious cabin and plenty of high-tech features that’s dead easy to drive and impressively comfortable.

Pros
Comfortable to drive
Very roomy back seats
Plenty of standard equipment

Cons
Alternatives have bigger boots…
…And are more exciting to drive
Desirable infotainment costs extra

By:

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting.

Pros
Vast space,
very comfortable if you avoid the needless ‘
sports’ chassis

Cons
It’s just so derivative,
in a way the old Skoda Yeti wasn't

The Skoda Kamiq is everything good about Skoda wrapped up in a desirable small SUV package.

Pros
Spacious
Huge boot
Plenty of tech

Cons
Lacks individuality
Not as desirable as a Volkswagen
Powerful petrol engine not yet available

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan's #8 ranking is based on its score within the Compact SUVs category. Currently the Volkswagen Tiguan has a score of 7.9 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 25 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

PROS
Comfortable ride
Generous cargo space

CONS
Engine feels underpowered at times
Less engaging handling compared to some rivals
Below-average fuel economy ratings

By:

In advance of a more thorough update for the 2022 model year, VW makes a few changes to the Tiguan for 2021. The base S and mid-range SE models receive new 17-inch wheel designs and the latter of the two receives standard adaptive cruise control. Likewise, the top-spec SEL Premium R-Line model gains a power-adjustable front passenger's seat.

PROS
Agile driving behavior,
optional third row of seats,
fuel-efficient powertrain.

CONS
Poky acceleration,
firm ride,
dowdy interior design.

By:

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan compact crossover is spacious and comfortable, and also the league-leader in modesty.

PROS
Big interior
Smooth ride
Automatic emergency braking standard
Big cargo area
Straight shooter

CONS
…and a little boring
Not very fuel-efficient
Small third row
New one on the way
