Excellent review. One of the best I have seen. Even though English is not your first language - your tone, clarity and communications style are first class. You certainly persuaded me that this new Tiguan looks like a real global winner.
I got a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 162TSI Highline with panoramic glass sunroof. In deep black pearl effect. Can't wait! Picking it up this Friday!!!! The weird thing is that the 162TSI highline has duel split chrome exhaust while the 140TDI highline and all the other variants only have the normal 2 pipe exhaust on the left. I am super excited because my model has the most powerful engine for Australia! And it's 0-100km/h is 6.5 seconds! It's the 162kw/350nm torque from the GTI!!! And it looks amazing!
I been waiting for this one. One hour long too! Very nice. Only Thomas does this, takes the time and care to do complete and detailed car reviews for us. Danke! Pressing play now… :)
+Autogefühl Ja! Danke. I liked it. The ice drifting looked fun. Thanks for asking the questions about the Mexican made long wheel base version. Exactly the question I was hoping for :) This will be the only version we get in North America. I'm glad to know that since it will also be sold in Germany too that the quality should be very similar. What remains to be seen is if the American market will also get all of the features that you showed us such as the heated steering wheel and head up display. VW America usually gives us a little less, such as a smaller NAV screen, non-electronic parking brake, no DSG and such to keep costs down. In honesty, I wish VW also sold us the short wheelbase version. I'm wondering if the long version will be a good thing or bad thing looks and driving wise? The only complaints I have with the new Tiguan is what appears to be less headroom than its predecessor.
6 months ago you wrote here: "I can tell you guys, that was exhausting. I really hope that this will be one of your most favourite reviews :)". I watched the review when it came out, though I did not comment. But now, in reply, I say, "Yes, Thomas, thank you. This is quite an old review now, but this is one of my favourite reviews." The location is beautiful, the camera work and editing is great, I love the images looking forward through the windscreen, and you seem to be enjoying yourselves. (One person said the review was boring(!); some say VW are boring. I am a car enthusiast so am never bored with Autogefuhl as they show us all about a car; and I'm never bored with cars!). Oh, and the car you are driving here is quite nice too! (The Tiguan in its standard spec is expensive compared with its traditional rivals: Qashqai, CX-5, Kuga. But in its "full-spec" fully-loaded form it is better equipped, less money and of similar - ha! - quality against the X3, Q3, XC60, Disco Sport and GLC...?).
I love this channel he is very detailed , gives me a lot of information that you don't get at the dealership. He remained me of Superman in movies. hahaha.
First class review. Best I have seen by far. Full marks to presenter and crew. Awaiting delivery of my Tiguan to Ireland. 8-10 weeks! Can't wait. Car looks perfect but I suppose time will be the real test. Am interest to see what the fuel consumption will be. 2.0 TDI. I get 53 mpg on my Audi A4 2.0 TDI and will be happy with that.
Love this review - my favourite vid of yours, out of all your videos! Cool location. Great fun driving on ice lake. Best driving scenes. 5:53 - this Tiguan and its interior is the best SUV, even still!
This was an excellent review. I appreciated how thorough you were in explaining the engine variety. I own the 2010 version and I am very proud to see the Tiguan grow up. This is well a built vehicle that has quality materials in the interior. Yes, I too love the sound of the closing doors. The seats are so comfortable I could drive for miles with no fatigue. It is the most fun you can have on four wheels. This is engineering at it's best. You get a fun driving solid machine with the human touch.
+Autogefuhl - Really excellent review! Thanks. This is one of my favourites of all your reviews - great location, camera-work, editing, and even a nice car (the first one you reviewed) with an attractive contrasting light and dark coloured interior, with a panoramic roof added, high spec with all the extras! Well done!
Great review Thomas, I dont like the exterior design much but i think by over time my eyes will be taught by this. And im very jealous of you for that drifting part, you seem to enjoyed that.
Outstanding overview by the autogefuhl team! Calm, thorough, professional. Only difficulty I had was that during the ice lake portion, seeing the actual path of the car wasn't easy...but the skillful driving and sense of fun were terrific! Sending to my VW salesperson here in New Hampshire - especially as we drive in snow many months of the year. Bravo, Thomas
The " best of the best" reviews Thomas, you did an excellent job on the ice and snow ! Speaking about the both cars, definitely I would go for the 2.0 TDI with 150 hp, DSG and 4Motion with the mix seats ( cloth and alcantara in the middle and electrically). Also this video has responded to me that 2.0 TDI with 150 hp and DSG is suitable not only for the Skoda Superb with front wheels drive, but even for a compact SUV with 4 wheels drive and I think it's suitable even for the long wheel base version with seven seats.
Fantastic review Thomas ! Both Tiguans, orange and red, look amazing against that Swedish snow ! I think VW did a remarkable job on this model. Interior and exterior are sporty, sharp and elegant and are in sync with each other. I'm not crazy about the heads up display . I prefer a display that appears on the windscreen , especially for tall drivers such as myself. The display on this type of system usually appears on the windshield wipers rather than on the road ahead. But that is a minor criticism. Overall , this SUV looks and performs like a champ ! Thanks for the great in depth and detailed review. And by the way, your new eyeglasses look great too ! U.S. loves Autogefuhl !!! Nice Job !!!!!
Hi Thomas, great review of the new Tiguan! I really enjoyed this video as these landscapes and the snow reminds so much of Finnish driving conditions :-) Best regards from Finland, Tuukka
Thomas, thank you very much for the wonderful review. Your team's work is incomparable! Beautiful car, look forward to new tests and reviews. And, of course, prices and official release in Russia Thank you again for the review!
Very well explained review! We have bought the 1.4l TSI VW Tiguan today in full metallic black exterior (looks really beasty!) We are ofcourse keeping our fingers crossed incase of annoying factory malfunctions it might have. Overall this car is sublime to drive in and i personally love the design with LED headlights!
The car has been postponed multiple times by now! :( Our new delivery date is in Februari but still not certain yet... why is the wait so long ??? is it because of the exhaust scandal?
I would like to say that I'm following this chanel for quite awhile and i can tell you that your reviewing of cars is very detail and i like it. Also I want to commend your camera-man the angles are stunning. Great work keep it going and all the best i really mean it. P.S can you review new mercedes s class 2016 ?
The first time I saw the new Tiguan, I was not all that impressed with the design especially in the front, but watching you guys made me think otherwise. :)) I like the back end of the Tiguan. The design is as you said like the Passat, and it's growing on me. I really like the review of the "Closing sound quality" of the doors and glove box. Very keen and German indeed which I really admire. Hahaha. Good thing they made a lot of tech upgrades. Thanks for the review. :)
this is a much better looking vehicle. I love that darker red colour. I'm interested to see what VW does with the Touareg when they bring a 7 seat version of this. Thanks for the great review Thomas. I feel cold just watching you in this weather. Quite a location. I had to look it up on Google maps.
+kevin n yeah it was =) I also had the thought with the Touareg, VW says that the Touareg is more premium and therefore different (e.g. bigger engines available). However, I think the current Touareg will be too close to the 7-Seater-Tiguan, that's why the all-new Touareg will surely be larger
i think the tiguan is overall the best SUV in this segment. the engine is also very superb but it could be a little bit stronger. I really like this new Volkswagen !
The best review ever. I have the 2009 model i love it but i will never buy again VW!! Why? Because VW never inform customer about recals. Engines pistons crash in vag group. VW Group not say anything and not do anything. In our club we have 167 symptoms. You can find many post in forums in all the world. I don't know but.... never!!
I just recently got a 2020 r-line , I like the design and the drive . I just wish it had a bit more engine displacement, 230hp for the petro model would be perfect ! I did get into the Tiguan out of a 335 so maybe it's just going to take a bit getting adjusted to the power difference... overall I like it nice ride !
Very nice to see you in my beautiful country Thomas! I hope you enjoyed your stay :) Thanks for a great review as usual :) I Thought of what you said about that Volkswagen made a promise to you that the issues witht the DSG-transmissions are now all sorted. Personally a promise from Volkswagen would mean nothing to me... :)
VW of North America, if you want to keep selling cars in the US and Canada, bring the new Tiguan here without delay. Your buyers need this, your dealers need this. And don't give us a watered down, milquetoast version like the NA Passat, or a giant SUV version that looks like every other giant SUV on the road. I own a Golf Sportwagen, but if this car had been available, this is what I would be driving right now.
Autogefühl I am waiting for my 2017 Tiguan 162 TSI. In highline. That variant is the most powerful engine you can get in Australia. The 162kw 350nm of torque engine is borrowed from the GTI and used in the 162TSI Tiguan.
+Sick Idol Derivative They set that sensitivity to a certain Nm in the plant, you cannot adjust that yourself imho. But maybe if you have the work shop connecting device there is an option
epic review thomas, thank you for such a detailed and lengthy review. this is now my frontrunner to replace my jetta. i will need to test drive it of course when it lands here, but going by your video its about 90% of what i need. i had one query which you may be able to answer, i have a very large friend, (7 feet tall, about 150 kgs), that i pick up and drop off from time to time, do you think there would be enough space in the rear passenger area? the jetta handles my friend with ease, but im thinking it may be tight in the tiguan.
+Fredrik Melin Hehe interesting point. Well at the time you can drive on the track, I think it is thick enough and very safe. It is just dangerous for the workers when they _start_ preparing the track with big machines.
I like all of your in depth reports and especially this report, as I am awaiting the delivery of my R.Line. So, is it possible to talk a little more about ergo seating, the ambient lighting in the door trims and the lighting around the panoramic sunroof...preferably at night, or in a low light environment. Keep up the good work.
Do you have an idea of when it will be? I have literally exhausted all the videos of the New Tiguan...and honestly, they don't come anywhere near your review.
This review draw lots of comments...loved both the car and the review! VW did an amazing job by putting this design it draws its attractiveness from its simplicity. I thought for a second that the center console was reminiscent of a Porshe......IDK maybe just my eyes. With all goodies inside and outside this might hit the new upcoming Q5...let's wait for Audi on that
since this car is a family car in fact. please add in next review/agenda some specific for passengers. for example - comfort of stroller transportation, install\uninstall child seat, something a bit more about entertainment features for all. a bit more info about practical usage of different ways of various motion types usage (snow, regular, etc). from other side - review is really cool! and leaves very pleasant impressionf from VW Tiguan. thank you very much!
The problem with having a large digital screen as instrument gauge is that it's harmful and stressful to the eyes if it's not low-bluelight and anti-flicker! There's a reason why newer computer monitors have those features!
Thanks for that great review! do you think the second row seats have enough room for three kids? the seat in the middle looks less confortable, like most SUVs I've seen...
Awesome review! Do you know if I can install a hitch bike rack? If so do you know if it is a 1 1/2" or 2 " hitch ? I do not need the ball tow hitch as it does not allow for the installation of a bike rack. Cheers!
Thank you very much for this review in such cold weather! You did a great yob and i belive you that the new Tiguan is a great car. I think next month is officisl presentation of Tiguan in Portugal and i belive you will also be there to report. I hope there will also be R line version and i cant wait that you test it and show review to us. So again i wish you all well and many many great reviews of new cars in the future.
+miha plevel hey, the R-Line you can already see staticly in our IAA previw, it is linked in the video description. Of course we ll keep you updated with the other versions
Thanks, i have been waiting for a tiguan review. And you did very well. I will have to see how the prising is going to be in Denmark, and if it feels big enough coming from a 2012 vw touran.
This is easily the best car review I've seen. Thorough without resorting to gimmicks or lame TH-cam humor. Thank you!
+wolfzr2 thanks, keep supporting us and spread the word !
I can tell you guys, that was exhausting. I really hope that this will be one of your most favourite reviews :)
Well it is my favourite review so far. I love this 🚗. Awesome review
+Autogefühl :-) Thomas, review request: 2016 VW Passat Alltrak with the 2.0 gasoline turbo 4-cylinder. Think it comes with cloth or alcantara.
+Autogefühl How did you stay warm??? Were you filming in Arjeplog?
+gbriank1 yes Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur both. Had some very good clothing :)
+Shail Patel spread the word for us!
This is the only review to provide a broad look at the interior of the new Tiguan. And it's beautiful! Thank you!
Always in ur service
Excellent review. One of the best I have seen. Even though English is not your first language - your tone, clarity and communications style are first class. You certainly persuaded me that this new Tiguan looks like a real global winner.
+Mark Roeder thats very nice, watch more of our reviews!
Much improved design inside and out from the first Tiguans.
I got a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 162TSI Highline with panoramic glass sunroof. In deep black pearl effect. Can't wait! Picking it up this Friday!!!!
The weird thing is that the 162TSI highline has duel split chrome exhaust while the 140TDI highline and all the other variants only have the normal 2 pipe exhaust on the left.

And it looks amazing!

Nice looking car!
after waiting 2 months I'll be picking up my 2020 highline tomorrow!
1 HOUR?! Thomas, you are crazy. Brave also to stand there filming in the cold for this long. And your camera man also, lol.
+supercooled =) enjoy the whole stuff !
Loved this review!
One of your best reviews for sure. Really nice car, especially in this ruby red and 19 inch wheels. I like the off-road package.
+ced5960 appreciated!
What a brilliant video. Nice to see the new car in such detail. I hope you are going to Geneva next month.
+James Rothwell thanks James! Yeah we ll do!
This is one of the best reviews i've watched, and it helped me alot to decide about this car. Thanks alot Autogefühl!
+André Wister thanks André keep supporting us!
Fantastic and in-depth review as always Thomas! Keep them coming for 2016 :)
+Sam B will do! :)
Outstanding overview by the autogefuhl team! Calm, thorough, professional. Only difficulty I had was that during the ice lake portion, seeing the actual path of the car wasn't easy...but the skillful driving and sense of fun were terrific! Sending to my VW salesperson here in New Hampshire - especially as we drive in snow many months of the year. Bravo, Thomas
thanks man! Yeah indeed the snow is so bright that it is hard to see it on camera! :)
Very nice review Thomas and team. I can't wait until this arrive in Aus!
+dantze (y)
The " best of the best" reviews Thomas, you did an excellent job on the ice and snow !
Speaking about the both cars, definitely I would go for the 2.0 TDI with 150 hp, DSG and 4Motion with the mix seats ( cloth and alcantara in the middle and electrically).
Also this video has responded to me that 2.0 TDI with 150 hp and DSG is suitable not only for the Skoda Superb with front wheels drive, but even for a compact SUV with 4 wheels drive and I think it's suitable even for the long wheel base version with seven seats.

The car has been postponed multiple times by now! :(
Our new delivery date is in Februari but still not certain yet... why is the wait so long ??? is it because of the exhaust scandal?
Can't wait for the R-Line review

Great video, well done!
+Marco Bertona thanks Marco !
this is a much better looking vehicle. I love that darker red colour. I'm interested to see what VW does with the Touareg when they bring a 7 seat version of this.

Great review. Looking forward to the new Tiguan coming to Canada!
+Carl Stephens thanks Carl! You have to wait a little longer, but so you watch our reviews meanwhile =)
i think the tiguan is overall the best SUV in this segment.
the engine is also very superb but it could be a little bit stronger.
I really like this new Volkswagen !
Ordered the new Tiguan GT TDI190 yesterday! Delivery in september.
(live in Sweden)
+Timur Lundholm have a nice time with that car! Report us about your experiences when you got it:)
The best review ever.
I have the 2009 model i love it but i will never buy again VW!!
Why?
Because VW never inform customer about recals.
Engines pistons crash in vag group. VW Group not say anything and not do anything.
In our club we have 167 symptoms.
You can find many post in forums in all the world.
I don't know but.... never!!
+asusnetigi I have an e-up! and they did make a recall on one glitch and fixed it (minor thing really). So it is not that bad. :)
TSI and TFSI are crap engines. DSG also. Diesel is ok.
I just recently got a 2020 r-line , I like the design and the drive . I just wish it had a bit more engine displacement, 230hp for the petro model would be perfect ! I did get into the Tiguan out of a 335 so maybe it's just going to take a bit getting adjusted to the power difference... overall I like it nice ride !
Very nice review greetings. Keep up the good work.

VW of North America, if you want to keep selling cars in the US and Canada, bring the new Tiguan here without delay. Your buyers need this, your dealers need this. And don't give us a watered down, milquetoast version like the NA Passat, or a giant SUV version that looks like every other giant SUV on the road. I own a Golf Sportwagen, but if this car had been available, this is what I would be driving right now.
+Max Anderson never quite understood why VW doesn't offer the same models in the US as they do in Europe. maybe Thomas Autogefühl can explain this?
+Fernando C I will meet VW CEO soon and ask him exactly that
As always, wonderful review Mr. Thomas! Keep up the good work :)

Autogefühl I am waiting for my 2017 Tiguan 162 TSI. In highline.
That variant is the most powerful engine you can get in Australia. The 162kw 350nm of torque engine is borrowed from the GTI and used in the 162TSI Tiguan.
Thankyou so much for your review. Can't wait to order a new 237bhp TDI in the UK.
+Lee Cripps thanks m8 !
Thanks for the review! Very informative. Is the sensitivity of boot easy open system controllable?
+Sick Idol Derivative thanks! No. In one week, we'll deliver you one more Tiguan review, let's see if they have changed something
+Autogefühl Looking forward to your new review! Any idea whether the sensitivity of the system is adjustable in other vw models?
+Sick Idol Derivative They set that sensitivity to a certain Nm in the plant, you cannot adjust that yourself imho. But maybe if you have the work shop connecting device there is an option
+Autogefühl Let's hope they solve this problem soon. Looking forward to the new recording!
epic review thomas, thank you for such a detailed and lengthy review. this is now my frontrunner to replace my jetta. i will need to test drive it of course when it lands here, but going by your video its about 90% of what i need. i had one query which you may be able to answer, i have a very large friend, (7 feet tall, about 150 kgs), that i pick up and drop off from time to time, do you think there would be enough space in the rear passenger area? the jetta handles my friend with ease, but im thinking it may be tight in the tiguan.
+ozzycarnut the new rear compartment offers plenty of space, that shouldnt be a problem!
***** ok thank you. i will take one for a test drive with my large friend when they land here.
Välkommen till Sverige Thomas!
+Antonio Curylo Jo! =)
great review as always! although i do recommend that you leave your seatbelt off when driving on a frozen lake ^^
+Fredrik Melin Hehe interesting point. Well at the time you can drive on the track, I think it is thick enough and very safe. It is just dangerous for the workers when they _start_ preparing the track with big machines.
At last a VW I will consider owning.
Awesome review on a great car, wonderful job indeed!; now seriously considering Tiguan for our next SUV.
Thanks m8
Great review guys
Thanks!
I'm really waiting for Skoda's 7 seater SUV ...please review it when you can...always great vids Thomas !
+Trevor Standefer sure we ll do that. You can see with that vehicle what to expect of that one kind of :)
I like all of your in depth reports and especially this report, as I am awaiting the delivery of my R.Line. So, is it possible to talk a little more about ergo seating, the ambient lighting in the door trims and the lighting around the panoramic sunroof...preferably at night, or in a low light environment. Keep up the good work.
+jaymzmc2104 thx! Rline review soon :)
Do you have an idea of when it will be? I have literally exhausted all the videos of the New Tiguan...and honestly, they don't come anywhere near your review.
This review draw lots of comments...loved both the car and the review! VW did an amazing job by putting this design it draws its attractiveness from its simplicity. I thought for a second that the center console was reminiscent of a Porshe......IDK maybe just my eyes. With all goodies inside and outside this might hit the new upcoming Q5...let's wait for Audi on that
+ChAbAr thanks! Indeed I also had some Porsche thoughts ... look at the Offroad door sill protectors and the font :)
Ab wann kann man bei der Highline das Offroadparket wählen?
since this car is a family car in fact. please add in next review/agenda some specific for passengers. for example - comfort of stroller transportation, install\uninstall child seat, something a bit more about entertainment features for all. a bit more info about practical usage of different ways of various motion types usage (snow, regular, etc).
from other side - review is really cool! and leaves very pleasant impressionf from VW Tiguan. thank you very much!
+Maxim Areschenko thanks! There will be more Tiguan reviews in 2016, I can try to get some of that in there then!
The problem with having a large digital screen as instrument gauge is that it's harmful and stressful to the eyes if it's not low-bluelight and anti-flicker! There's a reason why newer computer monitors have those features!
Thanks for that great review! do you think the second row seats have enough room for three kids? the seat in the middle looks less confortable, like most SUVs I've seen...
+Enrique Martinez For 3 kids its perfectly fine, adults just 2.
Awesome review! Do you know if I can install a hitch bike rack? If so do you know if it is a 1 1/2" or 2 " hitch ? I do not need the ball tow hitch as it does not allow for the installation of a bike rack.
Cheers!
thanks! Check this one: th-cam.com/video/YfhkZ_tqDVQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Thomas, awesome review!! you really got me interested in this car. Do you have any info about the Australian market? will it come to Australia?
+Ilgarius Thanks m8 ! Yes it will. You will get the new generation everywhere where you can buy the old one. The Tiguan is sold in over 170 countries
mycket bra uttal på "välkomen till sverge" (very good pronunciation on "welcome to sweden")
+Hundra14Kronor tak for det!
:D
Thank you very much for this review in such cold weather! You did a great yob and i belive you that the new Tiguan is a great car. I think next month is officisl presentation of Tiguan in Portugal and i belive you will also be there to report. I hope there will also be R line version and i cant wait that you test it and show review to us. So again i wish you all well and many many great reviews of new cars in the future.
+miha plevel hey, the R-Line you can already see staticly in our IAA previw, it is linked in the video description. Of course we ll keep you updated with the other versions
Thanks, i have been waiting for a tiguan review. And you did very well.
I will have to see how the prising is going to be in Denmark, and if it feels big enough coming from a 2012 vw touran.
+Shakil A. Shakar you re welcome! tak et venlig hilsen
Se sei tu a “ pilotare” bravo ! Complimenti sei un pilota 🖐🏾
The new Tiguan feels like a 10 thousand times better car than the old one ...
