I just purchased this car two months ago, I must say this car has the best vehicle infor-entainment system ever made for a car. Big screen and really easy to use....tells all that is happening while your car is in motion. super fantastic and easy to use......the car is on the money....rides great.....Has access to blue tooth to your phone..simply the greatest ever done for a car.
My mate bought a 2015 Tiguan. Its a nice looking car and its very practical. I was very surprised how clean the engine runs and its by far the cleanest pipe I ever seen on any vehicle ever. I comes with a great instruction manual in a high quality binder and it fits in its own little compartment. Whomever designed this car is worth every penny. To me this car is the perfect size, not too big, not too small. Okay now the bad. My mate has spent over 15'000 on repairs. First the DSG gearbox which failed and needed to be replaced. Very, very expensive, in fact so expensive he got a third party jnvolved to fix it. $8000 AUD ??? Back in the 70s you could buy a whole new car for $6000. The next thing fail was the rear right brack caliper. I must say that shocked me. Can you imagine breaking a brake caliper? Next the aircon system failed. Again another expensive repair. All up total cost I guess is between 15'000 ~ 20'000 AUD. I bought my second hand Toyota Corolla with 175"000 kms on the speedo. Its done 330'000 kms now. I've replaced the fan in the heater core box, the windscreen wipers (worn out.) The thermostat $30 (did it myself very simple) The front rotors and brake pads $120+$20. Did it myself. Alternator $180. Apart from these replacements its just been tyres, oil, filters, and replacing antiboil coolant. These Toyotas in hindsight are incredibly reliable and cheap to maintain. Tiguan nice looking car but not sure about the reliability.
I have been renting a 2019 Tiguan and I love the speed and the way it handles turns. I also love the sunroof and I am thinking about turning my car in and getting one. Well done Volkswagen!
We purchased a new 2019 Tiguan SEL premium 4-motion r-line a few weeks ago and so far we love it. I hesitated at first because some reviewers comment about lack of power, but this hasn't been a problem. VW engineered this engine to provide greater low-end torque, and that seems to be very good. This is the first AWD vehicle we have owned and we purchased it just in time, we got our first snow storm on Thanksgiving. I was pondering getting an Atlas, but this 2019 Tiguan gives more than adequate interior space, the Atlas would have been over-kill. The other feature that pushed us over the line to make the purchase is that 2019 gives 6 year 72,000 mile warranty, which is transferable. Starting in 2020 the warranty will drop to 4 years. I was going to wait until 2020 but there won't be major upgradea from the 2019 model, and the dealer was willing to bargain because we are near the end of the year. We got the top of the line Tiguan model, and I can honestly say that we like it better than the RAV-4 and Mazda CX-5, which we took comparison test drives in. It is loaded with tech features, be prepared to spend several days studying the manual!
I got Tiguan im Dec 2018 Highline Blue with with/Gray interior . I already had Rav-4 and CR-V but this car is fantastic and whole family love it . one thing that I like it is quiet engine not like Japanese car loud and visibility is grate and gas mileage better than same class SUV and finally I am a mechanic and never seen 4 cylinder car had 1750 RPM at 100km/h
I forgot to mention....this vehicle use's regular gas, and that was a great aset for me......no more spending big prices for that high octane gas.....simply the best ever for a new car.
We just got a Tiguan R Line and to be honest really unhappy as the r line came with sound and vision pack and 4 days later out of the dealership it’s making weird sounds and breaking up got no radio and can’t even listen to Spotify and the funny thing is I don’t even have my music loud . VW is going overboard in my opinion with their tech. But I will say it drives exceptionally well.
I have the 2019 Tiguan SEL Premium R Line with 4 Motion and I love it. Great video, I believe you said the seats where leatherette in this model; however, the SEL has the leatherette seating the SEL Premium has leather seats. One thing I notice about my Tiguan is I didn't have the ambient lighting around the panoramic roof. VW said it's been disable in all VW due to a recall regarding possible short circuits that could cause a fire. They said once they fix the probably they will enable the ambient lighting for the panoramic roof.
I have a 2018 the sunroof lighting was disabled but recently got a letter from VW they have a fix check with your dealer mine goes in Monday to be reenabled
Mark that is great news. For anyone with a 2019 model Tiguan with the ambient panoramic lighting, it's there I checked it's just disable. You can see the light strip if you open the roof. I'll check in with my VW dealer on Monday to get this lighting turned on.
That is cool, I really like that feature also because without it, there's not much ambient lighting. I was told that the new 2019 will no longer carry the ambient lighting around the panoramic sunroof by VW of America. Some 2019 have the lighting install but disable and the newer 2019 with the latest VW cockpit (which is different than our VW cockpit) want have the lighting install at all. Seems to me since it's install which I checked and I clearly see it, VW should be able to turn it on. Like you I really like that feature and I hope I can get it turned on. P.S. Why would you have to pay $12,000 bucks if you have the bumper to bumper warranty? I drove my vehicle in some terrible rain a few days ago and I had no issues at all.
You missed out some bits like cooking in glove compartment. Also the dash only goes black when the car is completely shut down. Tail gait has a sensor that actually doesn’t shut if you’re in the boot. Only when you walk away.
Thank you for your video I absolutely love this car ! from the front view only LOL the back looks like a minivan 😭 that’s literally the only reason why I’m not getting this. I wish they made it look more like a cute mini SUV truck instead of a minivan
The one-usb port is a cost decision. So many online USB and "cigarette" plug adapters are available at a low cost to remedy this issue for the urchins.
Looks like a really nice ride I'm actually in the market for one for my honey. Was looking at the Atlas and found this review.. I like this model I think this is going to serve all our needs for the two of us.. Thanks very informative review.
Nice video! I recently moved from a 2010 Tiguan Wolfsburg to a 2019 Tiguan SE 4Motion, and I'm loving the new set up. I'm impressed by the new tech (the huge touchscreen is superb), and the super smooth, quiet ride. I don't mind a bit that I paid a few grand less for the SE rather than spring for the SEL. Some of those extra features seem unnecessary - but that's just me. I did get the panoramic roof tho! My only complaint is the 2019 is much heavier, and slightly less fun to drive than the 2010. It's a trade off of size vs. agility. Not thrilled with the drop in HP either. Lastly, I had an engine cylinder carbon build up issue TWICE in the 2010, and I'm wondering / worried if that same problem is going to show up in the 2019.
Hello, I have the Tiguan Limited, which is the old style Tiguan. How did you deal with the carbon buildup in the cylinder? Were you using premium gas? How did you find out you were having carbon buildup problems? I'm asking just in case it happens to me lol
@@spmnh Yes, always premium gas for the 8 years I owned it. You'll know if it happens, as the engine will idle very rough on start, and your check engine light will come on. The first time (around 4 years) it was covered under warranty. The fix is to remove the entire cylinder head, and blast out the cylinders with walnut shells. Very expensive job. The second time (around 8 years) I ignored the issue, as the engine would eventually run fine after warm up. I'd clear the check engine light with an OBDII scan tool I got off Amazon. After a year of occasional roughness, it finally caught up with me and crippled the engine. That's when I bought the new Tiguan.
@@rarestarball Thanks for replying! VW does walnut blasting at their service departments? I'm just asking because you mentioned the first incident was covered under warranty.
Hello, I have a 2019 Tiguan SEL and I want to update the USA map that navigation uses but I wasn’t able to do it so far. I have been working on this for months, even the VW service in my area doesn’t know how to do it, they told me that there wasn’t an update since 2018 and that’s the map date I have (v7). VW America is also useless, they don’t have a phone number or email address on their website. Do you happen to know if there is a map update available for the vehicle that I can get? Thank you so much in advance!
Real balanced and unbiased review bro. Nice SUV.. Thinking of buying it. Great review.. You could have reviewed the engine and performance as well. I love this review though. Love from Jamaica.
Thank you for this helpful information. I am hoping you can help with this question: the word "Normal" is displayed on the Infotainment system. It is on the left of the top line. Other videos have displayed "Eco" and "Comfort." Mine displays "Sport." What sources this field and how can it be changed? Thank you very much.
Thank you for the Video it was very informative and I was very impressed with the variety of features this has to offer and I’m considering This verses the price of the Chevy Traverse just wish it had More HP Under the engine
My wife drives a 18 Tiguan SEL and we both love it, we had to trade our 14 Passat TDI. So this was her choice. I just wish they’d bring the TDI model to this little SUVS, I honestly couldn’t give a sh#%^ about the emissions since I drive a 20 year old Diesel truck for work that never gets tested on emissions because it’s weight limit (really smart logic right?) but I’m pretty sure that truck who runs pretty much all day contaminates the environment more than 1000 TDIs would do in a year. But anyway, back to the topic- what’s the MSRP for the 19 TIGUAN R-line as showed in this video? I wonder if it’s worth trading the 18 for the 19.
This is also referred to as a Tiguan Allspace in Australia, and the 5-seater version is just a Tiguan. Also, all of our R-line models (Golf, Passat, Tiguan, Arteon, etc.) come with the GTI/R-style steering wheel with the round centre horn button.
nice review except this is MY18 not 19! 2019 version looks almost the same but the first major change was the AID cluster which is now sam as in T-roc. Cheers from Tiguan owner
What does the AID do? I have a 4 day old Tiguan top spec. Pro 2 Infotainment, unlike the old one shown in the video and I dont have AIDS lol. The R-Line only comes with a white lighting option, at least RHD versions dont.
@@Craigjonnson Active Info Display...www.tiguanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4639 this is the newest model, if you are based in the US you will get the old one...
Hey there, Thanks for checking out the video. Not sure if the models have different body styles in the UK but this is definitely a 2019 model in the US. I like the updates in the photos linked above!
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville look at the interior difference... not going to argue it seems that US is having different spec than Europe and Australia...
thx for info on the 2019 Tiguan, looks great. I have a 2018 and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! (2018 is the now bigger size, too) no regrets whatsoever but always curious about new models! thx again -Kris in Orlando
How strange. I have had loads of Xenon headlight cars and also a Seat with adaptive LEDs. I would say the adaptive LEDs on the Tig are the best I have found. Staying on main beam on a motor way watching it cut elements out so it doesn't shine on the rears of other cars is addictive. A setting for fog and morning lights , maybe UK cars are set up differently
Hi. I’ve just picked up my new Tiguan R-line 4M 2.0 TDI. I’m still learning about it but I can’t get the automatic main beam control working which means that I’m constantly blinding oncoming drivers in the dark. I live in an area of the UK where there are loads of dark lanes etc, and I loved the auto main beam in my Audi Q3 which I am in the process of offloading, so I would love to know how to get it working in my Tiguan. If you have any advice i would be grateful. Cheers and keep your videos coming-great watch.
If your tiguan has a Matrix LED like this one, they should make a curtain around oncoming card and cars in front whem hifh beam is on.. You activate 'auto high beam by holding left control stick behind steering wheel until a green Highbeam auto bulb doesn't ahow up.
Thanks for the feedback, Barry! IMO, it feels much more like driving the Atlas, then the older model Tiguans which were more light weight. It has some beef to it, but it is still relatively quick.
I have Tiguan SEL 4motion 240ps on sports suspension. Before this I had a Seat Leon Cupra (Golf GTI) and also have an Audi TT. I get as much fun driving the Tiguan over a twisty country road as I did with those. Yes there isn't sublime steering feedback but there is enough to know what the wheels are doing plus its comfortable enough to do 600 miles in a day and get out fresh. Being based on the MQB platform it really impresses with the quality of the handling/ride balance and more refined than the Ford Kuga. Hope that helps .
I stated in the video at 13:25 that the passenger seat was manually adjustable while the driver's seat was power adjustable! Thanks for checking out the video!
All good and well, but how is it to Drive? Far more important than all the over tech nonsense. I hear it's been dumbed down for the American audience and has lost it's German feel, and that it has horrible turbo lag..... just curious.
I think a lot of people in 2019 care about the tech features. It drives very much more like an Atlas than the older Tiguans. It has some beef to it. Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with the turbo lag.
Bachman Volkswagen did you drive the tiguan and atlas back to back? in short they drive nothing alike on the road. my current vehicle is a passat. the atlas is a whale and wallows. the tiguan is more car like, tighter but higher up of course.
2019MY but still using problematic and unrefined DQ500 DSG! Noise problems with this gearbox confirmed across all SUV VAG brands that use this gearbox including VW, Skoda, Audi and Seat!
David Meredith The Aisin AWF8F35/45 8 speed as used in the US Tiguan does no use a torque converter. If it’s any consolation the 7 speed DQ500 DSG on my wife’s 2017 VW Tiguan R-Line 190ps 2.0Tdi. 4 motion failed at 300 miles!🤯
To much bla bla on the tech. What about the motor, turbo, type of fuel, economy, pep, shifting of gears, road noise/handeling. You really missed the mark in my opinion for a so called "in depth look". I should give you a thumbs down, but refrained from that with no rating.
Peace of shit !!! Mazda Toyota 4 RAV GOT MUCH MORE HP more reliable then VW . The old Tiguan had 200 hp turbo why the F .. they put smaller Engine ???? This one bagging for more hp and R line $$$$
Thank You For Posting This... I am considering this vehicle, so this has helped immensely.
ForTheBusinessAtHand I consider it too What’s his opinion about it ? I can’t really watch the video now and i am dead curious . Thanks
So glad we could help! Thanks for checking out the video!

Whomever designed this car is worth every penny.
To me this car is the perfect size, not too big, not too small.
Okay now the bad.
My mate has spent over 15'000 on repairs.
First the DSG gearbox which failed and needed to be replaced.
Very, very expensive, in fact so expensive he got a third party jnvolved to fix it. $8000 AUD ???
Back in the 70s you could buy a whole new car for $6000.
The next thing fail was the rear right brack caliper. I must say that shocked me. Can you imagine breaking a brake caliper?
Next the aircon system failed.
Again another expensive repair.
All up total cost I guess is between 15'000 ~ 20'000 AUD.
I bought my second hand Toyota Corolla with 175"000 kms on the speedo.
Its done 330'000 kms now.
I've replaced the fan in the heater core box, the windscreen wipers (worn out.)
The thermostat $30 (did it myself very simple)
The front rotors and brake pads $120+$20. Did it myself.
Alternator $180.
Apart from these replacements its just been tyres, oil, filters, and replacing antiboil coolant.
These Toyotas in hindsight are incredibly reliable and cheap to maintain.
Tiguan nice looking car but not sure about the reliability.

KrisDoug Dorner I have 2019 SE and love it
Want to know the price
More than Touareg?
These new cars are really up to the best ride ever for 2019......check it out.....just saying.....
Yes, but what does it drive like?
It drives much more like an Atlas than the older Tiguans. It feels like a larger SUV, although with the Turbo it has some giddy-up.
Sadly, it received extremely poor headlight ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
How strange. I have had loads of Xenon headlight cars and also a Seat with adaptive LEDs. I would say the adaptive LEDs on the Tig are the best I have found. Staying on main beam on a motor way watching it cut elements out so it doesn't shine on the rears of other cars is addictive. A setting for fog and morning lights , maybe UK cars are set up differently
John Nyquist they aren’t great but are adequate in my 2019
Gonna test drive this tomorrow 👌
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Bachman Volkswagen ordered one 👌
It’s an excellent car! I’m sure you will enjoy it!
Bachman Volkswagen yeah thanks, can’t wait until we get it delivered in late september 😍

Hi. I’ve just picked up my new Tiguan R-line 4M 2.0 TDI. I’m still learning about it but I can’t get the automatic main beam control working which means that I’m constantly blinding oncoming drivers in the dark. I live in an area of the UK where there are loads of dark lanes etc, and I loved the auto main beam in my Audi Q3 which I am in the process of offloading, so I would love to know how to get it working in my Tiguan. If you have any advice i would be grateful. Cheers and keep your videos coming-great watch.
If your tiguan has a Matrix LED like this one, they should make a curtain around oncoming card and cars in front whem hifh beam is on.. You activate 'auto high beam by holding left control stick behind steering wheel until a green Highbeam auto bulb doesn't ahow up.
GTI Encores thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
How come every Volkswagen Tiguan has a weak starting sound.
2019 Tiguans in Europe now have smaller AID , not as good as this one in some respects but satnav view can be bigger.
Modern cars break easily and very expensive to fix
How come Indonesia doesnt have auto start tech
I’m not sure! Maybe be some sort of regulatory issue
I thought it was a 7 speed auto not an eight?
No driving impression? Didn't say what it was like driving the vehicle.
Thanks for the feedback, Barry! IMO, it feels much more like driving the Atlas, then the older model Tiguans which were more light weight. It has some beef to it, but it is still relatively quick.
I have Tiguan SEL 4motion 240ps on sports suspension. Before this I had a Seat Leon Cupra (Golf GTI) and also have an Audi TT. I get as much fun driving the Tiguan over a twisty country road as I did with those. Yes there isn't sublime steering feedback but there is enough to know what the wheels are doing plus its comfortable enough to do 600 miles in a day and get out fresh. Being based on the MQB platform it really impresses with the quality of the handling/ride balance and more refined than the Ford Kuga. Hope that helps .
Barry Fellure smooth and comfy and quiet and nimble
Only thing I don’t like about this is the 184 hp.
That swinging camera is so annoying
Performance review needed ..
well i wonder how low tech the new Tuareg is :)
Missing the R line steering wheel ?
It has the R-Line badging on the steering wheel!
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville my mistake!, buying one of these next month
Very cool, it’s a fantastic vehicle!
Master Mark Did you get one ? I bought one and love it!
@@monaharp783 Yep, bought a white one today :) cant wait to pick her up
You used “go ahead” 157 times during this video. Just though I’d let you know in case you haven’t realized it.
May have to put a counter at the bottom
Isn't this an Tiguan Allspace and not just Tiguan?
Not sure what a Tiguan Allspace is!
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville th-cam.com/video/0R9W5mshsu0/w-d-xo.html
Oh, well this is the US model, so it could be similar as far as feature sets go.
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville It's just the UK's version of the "7" seater :-)
That is not the leatherette seats, those are real leather.
Yeah but the shotgun passenger doesn't have automatic seats....
I stated in the video at 13:25 that the passenger seat was manually adjustable while the driver's seat was power adjustable! Thanks for checking out the video!
Ours is.
Iman not a big deal
Infuriating to have to hit that MENU button on reverse - should be programmable, should be able to set this view to always turn on.
12 more commercials please!
All good and well, but how is it to Drive?
Far more important than all the over tech nonsense.
I hear it's been dumbed down for the American audience and has lost it's German feel, and that it has horrible turbo lag..... just curious.
I think a lot of people in 2019 care about the tech features. It drives very much more like an Atlas than the older Tiguans. It has some beef to it. Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with the turbo lag.
Bachman Volkswagen did you drive the tiguan and atlas back to back? in short they drive nothing alike on the road. my current vehicle is a passat. the atlas is a whale and wallows. the tiguan is more car like, tighter but higher up of course.
I have driven both vehicles quite a bit. No doubt the Tiguan is more car like, my point being it drives more like a larger SUV than a compact SUV.
Jason Kresock drives great I love mine and no lag. Haters gonna hate
Thanks VW dude say hi to Chevy dude.
😄 Mike and I are trying to collaborate soon
@@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville good video keep up the good work I will be in the market for a vw in about 24 months or so.
jeep s worst nightmare
What’s goin’ on guys? Goodbye 👋
.....?
The exhaust tips are fake, fyi
Who really cares?
That is good news! No discoloring of the rear bumper then.
You need to improve on your video quality... It's hazy at times.... :(
Rest the details are good....
There is a tiny gear icon in the bottom right corner that could help you with that!
2019MY but still using problematic and unrefined DQ500 DSG!
Noise problems with this gearbox confirmed across all SUV VAG brands that use this gearbox including VW, Skoda, Audi and Seat!
David Meredith The Aisin AWF8F35/45 8 speed as used in the US Tiguan does no use a torque converter.
If it’s any consolation the 7 speed DQ500 DSG on my wife’s 2017 VW Tiguan R-Line 190ps 2.0Tdi. 4 motion failed at 300 miles!🤯
How about a camera tripod, vomit!
Thanks for stopping by, Greg!
Please stop saying, "you got yur . . . "
It is very irritating
Thanks for checking out the video, Christopher
To much bla bla on the tech. What about the motor, turbo, type of fuel, economy, pep, shifting of gears, road noise/handeling. You really missed the mark in my opinion for a so called "in depth look". I should give you a thumbs down, but refrained from that with no rating.
The video title didn't give it away that this would be a tech centered review?
Terrible T regular gas
It’s quiet too and handles great
Turbo is great with no lag
I get 24 city and 29 highway
Peace of shit !!! Mazda Toyota 4 RAV GOT MUCH MORE HP more reliable then VW . The old Tiguan had 200 hp turbo why the F .. they put smaller Engine ???? This one bagging for more hp and R line $$$$
My Tiguan R-Line has a 240hp Diesel...
Thanks for stopping by, Walter.
Ya you are right there but doesn't look as good as those brands !
@@RWD1225 Those brands looks realy cheap, ppl with clas go with american our european cars.

High Tech but SE trim doesn't even have LED headlights and no adaptive cruise control? No thank you.
