I have finally driven the new 2024 VW Tiguan. I drove over 600 miles in my week with the new VW Tiguan and really got a good feel for the car. The infotainment system is a huge step forward for VW but I was most surprised by the 1.5L petrol engine.

Cars are getting bigger and bigger - and I wonder where and how the hell people park in multi-storey car parks. Well, the answer seems to be that they take 1.5 spaces (i.e TWO spaces) - and there is no penalty for doing so ! Many new cars seem fine for North AMerican roads and parking - but too big for European ones, IMO.

Enjoyable Review this (am new to the channel) - and the Schnauzers were a bonus (owning one myself !). This new version is now the size it needs to be - the previous one wasn't that roomy in the back at all - though I am 6'4". I am considering one of these later this year.....but I think I'm right to say that the overly large Screen doesn't HAVE to be 15" - you can choose a 12" one - and that's what I'd do. Sun Roof a must by the looks of it.

Had the 150PS Tiguan Match a few weeks now. Getting 42 and a bit MPG and it's inching up still. Smooth ride on comfort with the Adaptive Suspension option. Very expensive with a few options added. The rotary dial between the seats is good for Volume control is good. Fan speed behind a couple of screen clicks is unhelpful ( trying to hit the buttons whilst going over undulating road often results in a mis-hit. Just had to go out and twice tried to start it, got out locked car, got in again with no success. Used my wife's car instead and when I got back ten minutes later all was well. Will need to see what happens !!

It went into the garage recently and I got a call from my wife saying we'd been given a Golf R as a courtesy car. I couldn't believe my luck. Turned out it was a 1.5 hybrid and the R was just the trim level. Ruined my whole day! 😂

Totally with you on the ‘up badging’ of cars. Properly annoyed me after I specced my JCW when I realised you could make any of the other models look like it. And one of the dealers said the red roof and mirrors were JCW only, but soon appeared on all sorts of models (if that restriction was even true).

Another terrific video review Ped! I totally agree with you about the sticking badges on which then mean nothing about cars performance like you it drives me nuts. I can only see it getting worse as we move into the world of common platforms and EV technology. The only thing left to differentiate between them will be their styling packs! As for all these large informant screens I’m waiting for the EU to ban them as being a distraction to the driver, if you can’t use a mobile or tablet in a vehicle in UK how can these screens even be considered legal or safe

I’m planning on replacing my 2019 Golf for something bigger and with a higher ride height. I tried to like the newer VW options but I prefer buttons and dials to touch sensitive screens, and they only offer plug-in hybrids which doesn’t really suit my needs. I suppose at least you can now change the drive mode more easily, on my Golf there’s a button, but that just brings up the options on the infotainment screen, then you’ve got to try and select the one you want without taking your eyes off the road. It’s why my Golf spends 95% of its time in eco mode. 😂

I had the Seat version of the last model, it was excellent, l shouldn’t have sold it. The new one looks nice but tippy tappie controls don’t do it for me. I had a 2020 Audi TT and that’s as much technology as I want, all I need a screen to do show me pictures, reverse camera, sat nav, etc. Controls need buttons and switches. Driving down roads with your left arm stretched out swaying around with a finger flying solo trying to tap a button whilst looking where you are going at 60 mph is dangerous. Nice video though, I was looking forward to seeing your test. Good job.

They're not alone. The entire automobile industry has that fever. Audi has it bad. Toyota and Hyundai are notable holdouts to tradition, and their buyer are happier for it. Some people don't mind haptic (Tesla owners). These are trend setting people which is why they purchased an electric car to begin with. But VW buyers are not like Tesla people. They far more traditional and conservative. They're the opposite. They don't mind tech, as long as its packaged logically. VW learned that the hard way. But they should have known better from the beginning.

The trim level winds me up as well, especially without "Line" being on the badge There are plenty of other designations any of them can use. The everything on one stalk doesn't work either, but using a stalk for the gears works well, Renault do it and I liked it when I've driven them. The lack of buttons winds me up.. Its nice, just another VAG SUV....

Also, how did you find the new light system at nights and was the adaptive chassis control any good. I have not heard anyone talk about the sound system within - is it the upgraded Harman Kardon sound system or the standard sound system - if standard is it worth the upgrade to the HK system do you think?

Re the R-Line comment, back in the 1980s I bought a new Golf Mk2 1300 that the dealer had totally upgraded inside and out to mimic the appearance of a GTi 16-valve. Problem was, the engine had all of about 55 bhp and wouldn't pull the skin of a rice putting which created a problem as everyone wanted to race me!

I really hope you get to drive a PHEV, because it seems to me that VW are doing something very interested in the PHEV space. They have announced a *load* of PHEV models in the last few months, all of which have an impressive 50kW DC charging and 100km of claimed range. For instance the battery to take a Skoda Kodiaq 100km is going to be a fair bit bigger than the battery to do the same in a Cupra Leon, but they always claim the same EV range figure. Off the top of my head, the VW group PHEVs announced so far, all with this spec, are models of: Tiguan, Golf, Passat, Superb, Leon, Formentor, Kodiaq. And probably some others which I've missed. So VW do seem to be committing quite hard to PHEVs which I think is really interesting.
@davidy7004 Ай бұрын
Although I do wish they wouldn't quote single overall MPG and range figures for PHEVs, because they're pointless. Claiming a PHEV can do 200MPG or whatever is only useful if you happen to drive on that exact WLTP test cycle - which no ordinary driver is going to do. Much more useful would be for WLTP or whoever to specify 2 figures - one for MPG on a flat battery, and one for pure EV range (to be fair I think they do quote the second figure). If you know a car has, for example, 40 miles of realistic EV range and then will do 45 MPG on a flat battery, you can make a much better estimate of how much you will use on your own day to day journeys. For instance if you have a regular journey of 80 miles, that's going to look like 90 MPG overall. But if you drive 100 miles, it's 75MPG overall. And you could work it out for your own journey lengths- admittedly I have Excel fired up to help me out at this point! I know cars may vary from that slightly using different modes or using Battery Hold or whatever, but it isn't going to be far out ... but we need WLTP or someone to produce those 2 figures.

Hello Pete - completely agree about the use of the R badge when a car isn’t actually a R performance car. Why is VW producing such hideous looking wheels - those black ones just don’t suit the car. Mixed feelings about the size of the touchscreen but functionality certainly seems to have improved. Is there no diesel option or 4motion available? Why don’t you test the new Passat with the same engine or a plug-in version to see how it compares to the Tiguan - SUV vs estate. Keep up the good work.

I have had the last model of this tiguan for 3 month and i am very impressed with it especially with the mpg as stated in the video. I'm not keen on the red colour though and would like to see it in white as mine is.

As a big AMG fan and owner, AMG line irritates me too....as do after market stick on AMG decals. But I'm a bit of a hypocrite as my daily is currently an MSport BMW i4, bad in every way I guess🙄

Why have VW lost there way so much. I had 6 Passat, 2 Golfs, 1 Polo it when I was looking for a new car in November 23 and was selling my from new 12 year old Jaguar xf there was not a single VW I would of bought. The massive one yes but the £80k price was no. I ended up getting a Mazda CX60 and that surprised me but I have to say a lot of car and so far I am impressed the PHEV is quite amazing. James

The "R" on the R-Line is has highlighted edges. The "R" performance, has a solid R. Makes sense now? Yeah, its a ridiculous system. For dislikes, that would be the sport seats. The ergo active seats are great, but I hate these seats with integrated headrest with zero ability to adjust. They make no sense in a family car. Speaking of adjustments, I wish the tight extender worked on the rear seat too. Considering I have a family of six-footers. I know cars at this tier don't offer any adjustments on the rear seat. Maybe in the future. For now, at least the driver and front seat passenger will arrive after a road trip in comforts. On the positive side, does it still offer that neat USB-C port at the rear view mirror for easy install of a dash cam? It makes the dash cam install a simple plug & play. The only thing better would be one at the rear. One more thing, never tell us what you're NOT going to tell us. Just tell us what you want us to know. What we don't know, we won't miss.

Mmm…. I take back my original comment about it looking a bit dull and like Everything else, though I do still think it looks Toyota ish, maybe not a bad thing. To be fair, it seems quite a big improvement on its predecessor. Good review. 👍

It looks nothing like a Toyota which are far more angular. Mazda maybe. Subaru possibly.

The speed warning is single handidly the most autocratic rules the EU has introduced. I would say 50% of the time the speed limit display by the car is incorrect! If everyone is also turning it off then that tells you everything you need to know!

Why vw didn't use a 2.0L tsi instead of the 1.5tsi is anyones guess, I drove a new passat and the only thing that ruined the car was that 1.5 tsi it sounded so strained and felt underpowered. The tiguan weighs more so I can imagine it be worse. It will be the same problem with the plug in hybrid, once the battery is depleted you are left with that 1.5tsi it will be even worse as you will have the extra weight of the hybrid battery to carry around. I have ended up order the New skoda Superb estate as that is offered with a 2.0L diesel which is far better suited and will last longer then a strained 1.5.

As someone else said down-thread I also had the SEAT Ateca version of this car with the same 1.5 engine and the earlier infotainment system. I liked it so much that after 4 years I moved to the Cupra Formentor V2 with the same configuration. I get around 42mpg (I live in a rural area) and the performance is as you point out.

Nope, I shan't be changing my Mk2 Tiguan for the Mk3. I dislike the indicators and wipers on the left-hand stalk and why put the gear selector on the steering wheel? It might have freed up space in the centre for a jog-wheel but that doesn't exactly do very much. By the way, the basic version or Hybrid Life has a starting price of £42,525 and that means another £2,000 or so in 'luxury tax' for the next five years with it being over £40k. (And I can get more than 44mpg in my 150PS TSI).

the hesitation when setting off is a common fault on the 1.5 tsi engines, thought you might of mentioned the deactivation of two cylinders when cruising to save on fuel. the biggest bug bear for me and for most new cars are the touch screens, lane assist and haptic buttons, we the car buying public in general do not want them. grrrr
