Sat in the back of a 3rd row tiguan. Definitely not comfy but surprisingly more room then expected. In a pinch if you move the middle row up which has alot of leg room at 6'2 I could manage for a short trip. So if your on the fence your better off getting the 3rd row for those times you got more people then seats.
I hear a lot of complaints about the VW Tiguan, from not enough horsepower to no air condition seats to no LED headlights on all models. The fact is; VW and VW group can do all those things because they own Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, etc. Most car brands don't offer full LED DRL, AC seats nor performance engines on lower level trims including Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda, Ford, GM, etc. VW of America has proven they can bring top tech and luxury to a VW but it would be a failure; the VW Phaeton proved that. This is also why you don't see the all new expensive VW Toureg in North America (in my opinion the best looking Toureg ever exterior and interior). Consumers at a VW dealership are looking for a bargain; to stay within a reasonable price range. For VW group it's a balancing act, to show some tech and luxury but don't cross into Audi territory; show some performance but don't cross into Porsche territory. VW means the people's car and in North America the legendary VW Beetle was one of the most inexpensive dependable mid-engine vehicles for decades. I think VW feel if you're willing to pay over 40,000 or 50,000 for a SUV or sedan you should be on a Audi or Porsche lot.
@@PALERMO-1982, What country do you live in? Are you from Europe? I didn't own my DSG CC for too long, 3 years, but I didn't have one problem with it. I probably didn't own it long enough. In North America a problem the DSG had that I read about was because people and dealers were not properly maintaining the transmission. It usually cost more money for the consumer and dealers were not always properly trained. I'm wondering how it is in Europe?
Cause most Americans don't know how to drive a DSG properly and keep riding the brake. It also doesn't help that most VW's in America with the electric parking brake don't come with auto hold, ensuring the clutch is disengaged at a stop. The DSGs in the 2.0l Tiguans are the wet clutch ones, which are on par with normal torque converter automatics for reliability, when maintained. The dry clutch DQ200 7 speed was unreliable in older models to be fair, but most issues with that DSG have been ironed out.
Great review! I'd like to know if you feel this Tiguan is missing a decent sized center console. I feel like you need something to lean on. My experience was this was a great vehicle but nothing to lean on. Personal preference I realize but I'd like your input and thoughts. Many thanks!
You need the torque with a third row added. The R-Line should have a bigger turbo and performance mods. The 2.0T has plenty of aftermarket performance mods regardless. Not a deal braker.
Great review as always. I think I still take the RAV-4, that 2.5 in new Camry is very peppy. I also hate those exhaust outlets. What the ... is VW thinking? May be they are still embrassed with the dieselgate and don’t want their tailpipes to look black 😁 otherwise the interior is really right on and won’t look dated.
Lol me too. It sure is. Use premium gas to improve a little power , I'm looking at a k&n air filter, and a neuspeed power module. That enough will make the car much quicker 😉
You forgot to test the adaptive cruise function, as promised in the video. Apart from that, good job, I'm looking to move up from my 2015 Jetta and I think I found my next car.
Filip Dabrowski my apologies Filip! We couldn’t get a good enough segment of footage to really show off the adaptive cruise control. We will work on this for future videos. Let us know if you do decide to move forward with your Tiguan!

VW has been making some nice changes. It is a brand that hasn't done anything for me in awhile. Their Tiguan and Atlas are nice SUVs. Do you have to have the heated steering wheel at the same time? If so how hot does the steering wheel get. I like to turn the steering wheel off separately as it often gets too hot in my vehicle after it has warmed up completely.
The uk version on the Tiguan r-line Is far better, I have a 2018 model, and it is lower, it has bigger and better looking 20” wheels, full R race spec interior, and a factory fitted body kit, You missed out on the better stuff North America, as per normal
just picked up 2018 r line and noticed 2019 has rear camera washing function. Does 2018 have one? not that its a big deal but in winter time it can be really handy
Ihor Bayus The camera washing function can be found right beside the camera, it looks like a black line and it will turn on automatically when you use the rear window washer/wiper. We were told this is brand new for 2019
Tried it... EXTREMELY slow. I mean, these beauties do 0-60 in 8.2 AFTER the APR tune and around 10 secs before? It didn't need to be a GTI, but these new Tiguans would have trouble beating a snail FFS.
I have a 2012 VW Tiguan Highline 2.0T 4Motion; and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't upgrade to the current model. If I wanted to upgrade, I would go straight to the Atlas... either the Highline, or Execline trims. The 2012 Highline is like a luxury tank. Nothing seems to stop it, or slow it down. (Except, maybe lack of fuel... which I haven't had any problems with) It has an excellent balance of HP/Torque; and whether I'm traveling on the highway, unimproved roads, or offroad, as long as I have the right tyres, it ploughs through anything. (No, I don't take it mudding!!!!) I live in the Toronto area; and travel the same roads in this video. I've taken it on a road trip through the USA. It's up to the task. If I wanted more room, I would go straight to the Atlas. Seriously! Btw, I'm 6'6" tall; and my wife (who's Chinese) is barely 5'2".
Mick Psyphon we tried the first Gen of the Tiguan too. It IS a luxury tank but I honestly felt that the torque of the 19 Tiguan came in a lot quicker than the first Gen. The third row is spacious enough for toddlers at best. The atlas would be a bit pricey imo but it’s a great looking vehicle and packs a comfortable third row seating. Thanks for watching Mick!
Got a Volks since 2008 it becomes more and more cheap but the price goes up..... the Tiguan 2020 is a joke there a huge amount of problems for a new car...... never buy a volks again and all have the same opinions they start loosing a lot of consumers in North America also a huge mistake to move production in Mexico...... I prefer a BM Mercedes Volvo with no options than Tiguan Highline or Rline
Takuan it’s not cheaper and it doesn’t drive better. I drove them both and did my research and purchased the Tiguan for less and it rides better and is quieter.
Chris Dallas Dualped I purchased a 2019, but I think it’s more handsome than CR-V or Rav-4 or the previous model or Ford Escape etc. the price was well below retail but the Tiguan feels more expensive than it is. I don’t have any issues with power, it’s not super fast off the like button the torque is available all the way through the RPM band. I couldn’t be more pleased, no regrets. I drove a Nissan Murano recently and I was extremely pleased to get back into the Tiguan. Everything is so smooth in the Tiguan. All my passengers comment on how smooth it feels and how well the switch gear feel. It seems the complainers haven’t spent much time giving it a chance. There is no perfect vehicle but it does so many cool things. And it has the best Bumper to Bumper warranty in the auto industry. It’s very solid and isn’t over styled. The infotainment system is by far the best I’ve used. I’m loving the 8 inch glass screen.

Thank you. Well I think it’s classy & understated and I just couldn’t make friends with the storm trooper awkward lines and frowning front grill of the Rav-4. I drove the favorites in the segment at least 4 times a piece and something was off: then drive to VW in a Rav-4 not expecting to like the Tiguan but wanted to mark it off my list to be thorough. Well I simply loved everything about it and it drove great and I told the salesman let’s make a deal! I’ve never walked in and made a car purchasing decision so quickly. It’s masculine too. The CR-V is feminine and has ugly plastic wood trim inside and a very awkward gear selector, a CVT, and gas getting in the oil engine problems now. The Rav-4 was painfully slow with an ugly 1980’s looking tacked on infotainment screen. Plus those other 2 were so expensive and didn’t come with a 3rd row seat like I got.

VW has a rear spoiler extender.. looks really cool. I have it on my black 2018 Tiguan R-line. I ordered it though my dealer for around $400.
In the rest of the world you can buy it with the same engine as the GTI and 7 speed DSG. That's what this R-Line should have here in North America!
Oh man, that would have been a joyride for sure
DSG TRANSMISSION IS GARBAGE TRUST ME. .!

If you like torque then you'll love the Mazda CX5 turbo with 310 ft lbs.
Very solid review! Thank you!
I like the European version of the R line with the 21” wheels. Plus the non-Allspace Tiguan in Europe is shorter than this.
Lou Giordano in india we have 2 versions i.e tiguan 5 seater (diesel) and tiguan all space 7 seater (petrol).
You need the torque with a third row added. The R-Line should have a bigger turbo and performance mods. The 2.0T has plenty of aftermarket performance mods regardless. Not a deal braker.
Theres no doubt vw takes the cake on interiors in any segment they're in.

The exhaust outlets explained to us was for Fuel Economy haha. But they definitely won the design for the interior imo. Thanks for watching Paul!
The American R-line version comes with 20” wheels. I’m assuming in Canada no.
Very good Review. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks for watching!
I'm.so pissed I thought the r- line came with certain features...like the automatic lift gate...mine didn't have it :( whhhhyyy!!!!
Can you close the tailgate again with the foot swing?
My Allspace R-line will arrive in about 4 weeks. :P
Did it arrive? How is it?
I just got the 2019 R-Line about 3 weeks ago, I like the space & technology but man it’s SLOW. :(
MsNewburg test drive to check engine power?
Lol me too. It sure is. Use premium gas to improve a little power , I'm looking at a k&n air filter, and a neuspeed power module. That enough will make the car much quicker 😉

I got the 2018 R Line highline. Getting my APR tune soon. 250hp and 280 torque.
Alex Zutes niceeee, I’m glad they offer the APR tunes for the Tiguan. I’ve only heard my friends getting it for their golf and Audis
Hi, may I ask you what will be the total price of the tune?
@@drive4pleasure417 $350
There are no tunes available for the new Tiguan yet. Not sure where you're seeing one. APR can't crack the ECU.
Does that void the warranty???
Красавчик TIGUAN👍
great video!
the door groove was probably for opening the rear door when front door is closed. Not really a design element :)
Nice review. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel.
Thanks bro, quite informative
Will be nice if the camera will actually show the car instead of you when you are talking about a feature.
What about the noisy clunk between 1st and 2nd or when in reversing in a driveway..worst gearbox ever ruining a beautiful suv
Thats what they get for using an Asin (Toyota) transmission.
Best suv🚗
I am guessing that North American Tiguan uses isin 8 speed auto and not 7 speed DSG?
Wonder why?🤔
666DW Because the aisin 8 speed is designed for low maintenance and long term reliability. DSG not so much.
VWdeni says a lot about VW’s engineering standards!
The uk version on the Tiguan r-line Is far better, I have a 2018 model, and it is lower, it has bigger and better looking 20” wheels, full R race spec interior, and a factory fitted body kit,
You missed out on the better stuff North America, as per normal
Danny 204 - the price though... CAD$42K vs £42K. They wouldn’t move any units at CAD$72K.
The American version comes with 20” braselton wheels.
Wish you'd do one on the sante Fe, 2.0, awd, ultimate.
It's surprisingly masculine and in this range.
Memory seats?
I have that same car but with the 20" wheels
Good job!
Why is my Tiguan 2018 SE so noisy it makes me miss my Passat SEL 2013...

180 HP os not enough for you ?
The orange peel on that paint..... they sell it like that?
Princess Peach most vehicle have orange peel. I own a 2019 in Platinum Gray and it doesn’t have the peel look
Allspace?
I have the allspace highline, whats the biggest difference?
Pause a little..fake energy only goes so far..otherwise good job.
Hi, R line is for highline trim and not the comfortline
Talayeh Rad thanks for the clarification!
Is this comfortline model?
highline.
How price of this model included taxes in Canada.
Did they increase the horse power for 2019?
👍🏿 nice I like 👁
If you get the RLine, they significantly reduce the colour choices to basic black, white, grey. Boring!!!
Can we get the European version? This one sucks..
So you'd rather have a 1.0 3-cylinder engine with barely enough power to run the heater?
Got a Volks since 2008 it becomes more and more cheap but the price goes up..... the Tiguan 2020 is a joke there a huge amount of problems for a new car...... never buy a volks again and all have the same opinions they start loosing a lot of consumers in North America also a huge mistake to move production in Mexico......

40k and no horsepower increase for the top trim WTF! VW! bring the damn T-ROC to USA MARKET! QUIT THIS SAFE BULLSHIT! then maybe I'll consider you
Nice looking.. not even 250 hp, disappointing
Tiguan get's less power. Mazda CX5 get's more power and more torque, drives better and cheaper.
Takuan check out the review we did for the CX-5!
in my country Cx5 is more expensive and Tiguan has 220HP engines, 240HP as well it drives more aggressive than Mazda and is more luxurious.
Takuan it’s not cheaper and it doesn’t drive better. I drove them both and did my research and purchased the Tiguan for less and it rides better and is quieter.
Love to buy Tiguan but the dealers in India are cheaters....
Dealers everywhere are cheaters.
If they don't cheat they won't be making money :D
