    I like the fact that you are adding pictures of the basic versions. Usually car reviewers get the biggest trim level and when you are in the garage, you're usually not gonna spend a few grands on all the bits and plastic. Do the new Q5 next!

      We did 17k kms ( in just 7 months)in our brand new 2 liter diesel high-line( not R line) Tiguan with full leather seats. Awesome car no words to say, we drive in Germany and the car is very stable in autobahn till 190 kmph.
      ( My advice: raised seating and full leather seats makes your long drives 10X comfortable, extra 2.5k spent on full leather is 10K worth, avoid R line)

  • @borjastick
    @borjastick 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The Skoda Yeti is basically a VW Tiguan underneath the body. I have one from 7 years ago and when looking at the interior of the same year Tiguan they are identical. The Tiguan is a great vehicle and possibly only eclipsed by a Yeti. Of course they stopped making the Yeti so I would probably get a used Tiguan next time. Get one like mine though with the full Monty package with DSG and four wheel drive. Also on the Yeti the rear seats are individually removable. This turns it into a van if you want massive space.

    I have a 2019 R line and apart from the swiping rubbish (totally agree with you Matt) it looks identical inside and the techs the same. I think the old model looks much nicer as well. Warning don't buy the diesel 2.0 it has an awful delayed accelerator....bordering on dangerous when pulling out of junctions.

    • @MATTFL380
      @MATTFL380 ปีที่แล้ว

      And with the price of diesel at the pump all that mpg is undone by inflated prices which believe me are going a lot higher next year.
      Diesel cars are being phased out and eventually only a few petrols will be available as it’ll be a mix of hybrid and ev.
      Buying a diesel car is false economy.
      More regular service intervals, more west on internal parts and not only all this they sound bloody awful and are slower than their petrol counterparts.
      Diesel is shite

      ​@@MATTFL380Wait until you receive your electric bills in the winter months and tell me if EV is cost effective. Not to mention the ever decreasing battery range at full charge.😅 I tried EV and I didn't like what I was experiencing. It only lasted 11 months and I traded it in with a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI R Line DSG. I'm getting more miles and it's still cheaper compared to my staggeringly high electricity bills. 1,600 euros for months of October and November 2023. Just insane. EV is not the future. I can tell by the number of brand new EVs lying around waiting to be sold. It took me ages to sell my EV because nobody's buying them and it's depreciating in value. That's coming from a real life experience. EV is not the answer. I think Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars make more sense. Until then I will stick with my diesel.

    It's amazing VW can come up with different permutations for different market/ country. Mine is Tiguan Allspace 7 seater R Line 4 motion. Comes with 218bhp 350nm 2 litre petrol engine. Interior is mostly the same but we get the bigger 9.2 inch infotainment screen Harmon Kardon sound system. No panaromic sunroof for us who lives in the tropics. Adaptive dampers on 19" wheels. Most of the time, my 3rd row seats are folded total flat with 700 litres of boot space. No rear parcel panel instead we get the retractable cover n can kept neatly with the spare tyres (nothing to throw away!) The IQ lights (adaptive LED headlights) are amazing at night

    The new Tiguan is very elegant and nice-looking, they returned back to sleek/wedge styling (The previous model was too boxy and American) handling, comfort, practicality, performance, and built quality is top-notch, this car felt planted on the road and in the corners something Asian rivals struggle with, and the cabin is so quiet. The 4Motion AWD is superior to most of its rivals. Definitely a powerful rival for the Rav4 and CRV.

    i really enjoy paddle shifters. when you brake it shifts down automatically but when you accelerate it wont shift upwards. growing up with a pc and a steering wheel with paddle shifters does make it more enjoyable. i own a really underrated car imo: 2014 2.0l diesel engine 150hp golf sportsvan. perfect combo for me, stands between a 'sports' car and a 'minivan'. quick, spatious, economical. best i got was 5L/100 on a 700km trip. between 7-8L/100 in town (home->work)

    Finally !! A VW review

  • @QUANTUMRohan
    @QUANTUMRohan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    IMPORTANT INFO FOR UK CUSTOMERS BUYING THIS VEHICLE: As of this new model, VW have removed the variable boot floor by default on this new version, it will only come with the floor if you add a spare wheel as an optional extra (£215). If you do not add this as an option then you end up with a boot with no variable floor to put things underneath, a very large load lip, and a large ledge when the seats are folded down (no flat load bay), it is a larger boot however. I wasn't aware of this and have ended up without the floor, and no VW dealership is able to retrofit this for me as it requires brackets that apparently can only be factory fitted (bit of a poor design if you ask me).

    • @hamzakila

    • @QUANTUMRohan

    I just picked up a 2022/23 Mazda CX5 sport edition. Brand new, only took 8 weeks to arrive from manufacture. The build quality of our new Mazda completely blows the VW out of the water! It’s nicer to drive than the VW too. The VW dealership in Worcester gave us a 4-6 month lead time on a new Tiguan, but that was STC as with all manufactures.
    It just so happened my friend ordered a golf mk8 GTE and after waiting 9 months he decided enough was enough and he would go back to the dealership and they changed their tune and told him “sorry but we just don’t know when the next batch of cars will be released to the uk market” so they sold him a Tiguan Rline that was in uk stock, so bare in mind this car was already in the uk he still had another 2 months until it arrived at his dealership 😂 he was a bit desperate by this point but as life is he had gone this far and waited that long he no other choice than to just go with it and he hates it!
    Hence why we went for the Mazda.
    Compared to our CX5 the Tiguan is so cheaply made and really poor quality, he was totally shocked when he hopped in my car at how much car you get for the money and the fact I only had a wait of 2 months. If he had looked at one he said he would have ordered one instead of his Tiguan.
    fyi we replaced a golf mk7 with our new CX5. The golf was a 2013 and it served us very well, although it did have its issues, it was nice to drive and built very well but it seems VW have gone massively downhill.
    Brexit, lack of raw material and staffing cutbacks are the reason for the down turn in production.
    VAG’s time at the top has finally come to an end.
