Good review Nick, looks a very nice car, I could see you were impressed. I do like Volkswagens new drive selector!
Thank you! 🙏 Yeah it’s pretty easy to use!
Hi Nick, I currently have a GLE and was going to downsize a little to the GLC, but that Tiguan looks very impressive. So the question is GLC or Tiguan?🤔
Picked up my elegance model this week. Much sooner than expected, was quoted September initially 😮 first impressions very good. Very comfortable ride, spacious and feels quite luxurious inside. No complaints from me so far.
Awesome thanks for sharing! 🙏🙏
Price
Is there any software problem? Assist errors or something else
Hey Nick another great review as always. Thank you. I’ve had two generations of Tiguan the most recent one and the one before. I am really considering this new one as it looks great and a real upgrade and also the previous two have been great. It’s a shame they don’t have it in full electric as I am kinda looking to switch to full electric really. With the plug in hybrid can you actually just choose to run on electric or the engine does it for u? Say is there like a setting or something that u just press a button.
Thank you! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well a full electric model the closest would be the iD4 (or iD5 for a coupe style roofline).
But yes with a plug-in hybrid normally you can control the modes (if you wanted to.) Hopefully I can make a video on Volkswagen’s one later this year! 🤓
Good to see VW getting back to decent interiors and controls. I am hoping the new Golf 8.5 will be very similar. Hope to see you testing the Golf soon Nick. Good informative review here Nick, thank you
Thank you for watching! 🙏 I’ve already asked them! I’d love to check it out!
Great review, never considered this as an option before. Would be amazing to learn more about the plug in version as this will be a game changer for company car drivers as it has over 70 miles in range.
Thank you! 🙏
Yeah neither had I to be honest!
I’d love to check it out too!
Hi Nick.
Great review, as always.
One question: did the model you tested had the new adaptive suspension DCC Pro?
Thanks
Thank you! No it had the standard suspension according to their spec sheet 🤓
@@npolearyThank you very much for your answer.🙏
It seems that also the standard suspension is smooth enough since you found it comfy over the bumpy roads.
Thanks again.
@Ionutzz83 definitely! I’m curious to see what the upgraded suspension is like!
The plug-in hybrid sounds particularly interesting to me and it’s one I’ll certainly add to the list when it’s available. As well as the claimed range, which is impressive is the fact that apparently it comes with DC fast charging, something that not many hybrids have.
Why this is significant is because the 20 min charge time to 80% makes it a viable option for someone like me who lives in an apartment. For example, It would be possible to charge it up during a trip to the supermarket - I wish more car manufactures would offer fast charging on their hybrids.
Yeah me too it does sound interesting! I’d love to check it out! And yes you’re absolutely right about the DC charging!
Good review would be nice to know what model you were reviewing
Thank you! I added it to the description of the video for everyone, it's a Tiguan Elegance
Do they still come with pneumonia like a few years ago?
Hi Nick!
What about suspension over the bumps, what would you tell about it?
Is it soft or rather sport?
BTW, do you think the boot would be suitable for 2+2 family?
Suspension over the bumps was very smooth! I was very surprised at how smooth it was (the roads weren’t great)
Yeah absolutely, loads of space! It could fit me x4
Of course depends on how much space everyone needs (children’s ages like if they pushchairs or anything) but take one for a spin for sure!
I had one of these in 2018, was a good car but really was dull. Exterior and Interior looks better but not keen on those screen graphics. The dash screen looks particularly bland. Still much to learn from other brands.
Cheers Nick
Did you get a chance to drive the R Line too. Id be interested in what you thought of the difference with the R Line having bigger alloys etc.
I had driven the R Line briefly on another day, they’re almost identical. Driving them side by side you’d probably just about be able to tell but otherwise a very smooth comfortable ride 👍🏼
Hi Nick,
Please help me choose between New Tiguan 1.5 TSI hybrid with full options or Tesla Model Y Long Range?
I’m not sure what to choose and I like both cars. You know and tested both cars and I really need your opinion 😀
Thank you!
Awesome job!
Hey thank you! 🙏
Well both are pretty awesome cars but it depends on what you need. The main question forgetting brands for a second, do you want to switch to electric? Can you charge at home to make use of cheaper electricity? Have you got off road parking? Or do you have Solar?
You don’t have to have those things but they make the switch to EV ownership that much easier but it does depend on your driving too! How many journeys are within the car’s range etc
Hi Nick, brilliant review once again. I would love your opinion on the Tiguan versus the GLC. I currently have a hybrid GLC but to upgrade to a new model is so expensive now Mercedes have put their prices up. Do you think the Tiguan is a compelling alternative or is it not quite as luxurious as the Mercedes?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is exactly one of the main reasons why I’ve started to cover other brands. There will be plenty of people (myself included) that due to the higher costs or removal of Mercedes models like the A-Class, it might mean that I can’t change to another at the end of my finance agreement.
And as I don’t work for any car manufacturer, all my videos will be honest, my thoughts only and I’ll aim to cover what people want from their next car although I try and sneak a bit of tech in there from time to time 👀
Yeah defo, take one out for a drive yourself! I wouldn’t mind one myself, it’s literally the same price as my daily car but would suit me better for our dog!
Take one for a spin and if you’re happy to, let me know how you get on! Either here or on my email!
“contact@npo-media.co.uk”
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, I'm definitely interested in taking a Tiguan for a test drive. Looking at specs the only thing I can't get is a 4wd hybrid. Will let you know how it stacks up against the GLC, Cheers
An SUV should be able to go off road, that’s the whole idea of them. I’d like to see you trying them out in that situation. In particular, how do they do in mud, and wading.
Absolutely, it’s a shame that a lot of people buy them for use round town. But…they are very useable and practical. Sadly Volkswagen didn’t have that set up this time but I did take the Touareg off road!

Hi Nick, GLB or Tiguan? THX
Tiguan. Because you can get a Plug-in Hybrid in it 🤓
GLB is nice but I personally do prefer a little curvature in a car’s bodywork. But I completely get it why the Mercedes GLB exists, it’s great for practicality too and even a 7 seater!
Do the heating controls light up at night, as that was a big issue on VW cars before, also did it drive like a heavy car?
I believe so, I sadly wasn’t there overnight to test but I’ve heard they do now from another place.
The circular button is so handy.. Audi took it out of their cars .. badly missed as it is so easy to use when driving
Just test drove the new Mini Countryman and its fabulous, but im between that and this new Tiguan. The VW has the impressive boot space whereas the Mini I can't decide if its quote sufficient for a family with a young child plus a baby.
Sadly not driven the countryman but I’d love to include it on my channel!
How did you get on with it?
It does have a smaller boot compared to the Tiguan. 450L (I believe) vs the 652L in the video.
I was torn between the new Tiguan R line or a BMW X1 M SPORT. I chose the BMW but now I’m thinking should I have went Tiguan after this video 😅
I’d like to check out the BMW X1! But I’ve only driven the iX1 (review is on the channel)
But yeah this one had loads of tech in it!
Both are lovely!! I’m just glad everyone else is upping their game with the tech side 🤣 I currently have a Mercedes CLA and I love the big screen and ambient lighting, but VW have come out to play with this new Tiguan 👏🏼
I must say, it totally amazes me that so many car reviewers ignore the cruise control placements, yet talk about the climate controls, trunk space, interior lighting, seat heating and massage, storage bins, colors and stitching, screens for the passengers in the back, sun roofs, side mirrors ... but nothing about where to find the buttons for the convenience of being able to effortlessly maintain a steady speed on freeways and suburban streets, and even to follow the car in front's speed. Kind of like reviewing a convertible but omitting how you put the top down or up.
I briefly talk about the steering wheel and the fact it has buttons now but I could include the cruise control too if that’s feedback for future videos.
Like some videos before I’d like to make a dedicated video on how it works (switching it on, adjusting, resuming & cancelling etc)
@@npoleary ---- Porsche put up a video about their popsicle CC. If you can figure out how it works, maybe they'll give you a car for free! Even Toyota, known for not changing anything, finally moved their 1974 vintage CC from a stick onto the wheel. Mustang, Corvette, Genesis, and others have CC on the wheel, and so does - notably - Mercedes. For something like a 600+HP "take it to the track" car like Aventador or some GT 9,000,000 RS T SS+ Limited Edition Manual Rocket, I could understand if they had no cruise control at all. But for a "take kids to school", or "take dogs to the vet" SUV it seems very natural to put the CC under the driver's thumb. And VW did.
Trunk space? But is fitting an elephant in the back really necessary?
@@johnw65ukdepends whether you have an elephant👍
Looks like it’s turning into more SW than suv😂🎉
Hello. Tiguan or Austral?
Sadly not driven the Austral, but I might cover some cars like that in the future if people want me to! 🤓
Plug in hybrid sounds good if you get 60-70 miles in the real world
It’s WLTP so it can be! You can even beat it! I’ve beaten hybrid ranges before in other cars.
But…it depends where you drive, how you drive, the use of heating and the weather outside.
The quoted range is what you’ll get in the best and optional conditions
the 2024 tiguan looks differant here in the states i just bought it
I’ve seen cars do often look slightly different when I visit the states 😎
Teguan?
I see they put the cruise controls on the steering wheel where they belong. Maybe Porsche will follow? I rejected all Porsches offhand because they put their cruise controls on a stick on the steering column, where you have to hunt for them and take your hands off the wheel. Subordinating CC to "phone" and "volume" and such is just ridiculous. On a big couch in front of your "home entertainment system", yeah .... giving the couch cruise controls priority on the remote "is not logical, Captain". But in a car,, giving "mute" or whatever priority over motion controls? Questionable. I wonder how much the responsible for that gets paid.
just wondering how difficult is to change a radio station or temperature if you drive like 160 km/h on this screen.
Well it's more like korean or chineese car now. Don't like it at all
No buttons for AC is a hugeee no. When the tablet will die in a few years good luck getting the AC to work. This car is gonna lose so much value.
They fucked the new Kodiaq, good to see this one taking a leap.
What didn’t you like about it?
The tailgate design and the overall side look. Looks like a Hyundai Kodiaq.
Hate the looks , the previous version looked sexy. This one is just meh.. avg looking mid size suv Japanese Korean design.
Looks kind of claustrophobic and for the price it isn't worth it. For 22k you can get a Dacia Jogger with 700l of boot space
It sounds really noisy for this price level. One wonders what they wasted all that money for?
That display is really ugly. Looks like they just mounted a laptop 😂
buy Hyundai Tuscan instead 😂😂😂 vw is living by its brand name the quality is not good
Sorry,Over priced, BYD SEAL U is the suv am waiting for!
Trying to get my hands on one so I can check it out 👍🏼
Lixiang L6 max it is much better, more technologically advanced and cheaper. Unfortunately, Volkswagen's time is passing.
Actually had to Google that one! Hadn’t heard of it before.
But from looking that’s a full EV so from pricing wise iD4 would be a good one to compare it to!
@@npoleary sequential hybrid. this car is a higher class than the tiguan
To be honest the car is quite disappointing. Had to order it in 2023 with a massive 11k eur discount. That’s the only good thing about a fully packed model. But in general it’s a same old tiguan with a new eye burning display, stupid led strip (why not a disco ball?)) and a new rotating knob. The body from outside reminds of a soapbox but not a german car. Don’t go for a dolphin grey color - looks crap and !!! Check the car physically before you buy it!!!!!
This is the new model, it’s just come out? So there are a tonne of changes
Last year’s model will not have been the same
@@npoleary yes. I received this car 2 weeks ago it s a brand new 3rd generation, blah blah.
@@rottenwest3492 are you all upset you bought the old outdated model. Chin up dear
@@Jmy777 my car was assembled in the beginning of April 2024 and it’s not an old model!!
@@rottenwest3492this is 4th Gen 😂
Crappy interior
You not a fan? What sort of interior do you like in a car? Have you got a favourite? 👍🏼
Pointless review, no mpg figures
Thanks for the feedback, if this is a suggestion to include it in future videos then I can!
I want to make videos that people want to watch so if it’s info you’d like in videos, so can add it 👍🏼
Hi Nick, I currently have a GLE and was going to downsize a little to the GLC, but that Tiguan looks very impressive. So the question is GLC or Tiguan?🤔
From a pricing point of view I’d have to go Tiguan. Mercedes GLC is very nice and have covered it several times on my channel. The new one is stunning with the vertical screen etc and super luxurious.
But with the way Road Fund Licence works in the UK, and pricing of both models I’d be swaying more to the Tiguan for sure. 👍🏼
Take one for a spin and you won’t be disappointed!
I should add I don’t work for a car manufacturer, everything I discuss in comments and the videos made themselves are my honest thoughts, it’s really a good car! And as I mentioned in the video, similar price to my daily car which is so good! 👍🏼
