Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan is a well-rounded crossover SUV, just don’t expect to use its third row for anyone bigger than the family dog.

Pros
Spacious digs
Classy, conservative design
Good standard tech
Lots of crash-avoidance gear

Cons
Comical third row
So-so fuel economy
Can get expensive with options
R-Line’s just a tease

By:

The current-generation Tiguan launched for the 2018 model year, and it's received only superficial changes since. For 2020, the Tiguan adds a Wi-Fi hotspot, which is now standard, as is additional safety content including forward-collision alert with automatic braking and a blind-spot warning system. There's a new SE R-Line Black trim that packages 20-inch dark wheels, sunroof, fog lights, and parking-alert sensors. Volkswagen is also shortening its warranty on all of its 2020 models from a standout 6 years/72,000 miles down to a more typical 4 years/50,000 miles. But two years of complimentary maintenance is now included.

Pros
Refined driving experience, available third row, excellent fuel economy.

Cons
Not as quick as its rivals, ride gets firm with large optional wheels.

By:

Ample space for passengers and cargo

Subpar acceleration and responsiveness

Optional larger wheels make for a bumpy ride

PROS
Comfortable, practical interior
Very competitive list prices
Good roadholding and smooth ride

CONS
Entry-level model is lacking desirable extras
Petrol models feel underwhelming
Interior is functional rather than special

By: 
parkers.co.uk

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling in 2021 as it was when it was launched in late-2016.

PROS
Versatile cabin,
aggressive pricing,
quality cockpit and tech

CONS
No electrified version yet
