Tiguan SUV 2021 - Volkswagen Review

The Tiguan is a really important car for Volkswagen. Here in the UK the Golf and Polo are the company’s biggest sellers, but next-up is the Tiguan. And that’s why it’s a popular car at Wagonex. 

We’ve gone for the R-Line because you end up with a Tiguan that stands out from the crowd. You get smart 20-inch alloys, side skirts, wheel arch extensions, heated front sports seats, sports suspension, sat-nav, air-con, and a brilliant audio system with DAB. We’ve even added a sunroof and parking sensors. 

Power comes from a 148bhp 1.5 litre petrol engine. We’ve gone for the automatic gearbox because it suits the Tiguan’s likely role as a long-legged cruiser. 0-60 takes 9.2 seconds and the top speed is 125mph. As for the economy, VW reckons you’ll manage close to 40mpg. 

It’s roomy, comfortable and, thanks to a large boot, will be ideal as either school-run transportation or loaded to the gunwales for a trip to a holiday resort. It’s also fitted with a stack of safety equipment and driver assistance aids.

Oh, and don’t think that because the Tiguan is an SUV that’ll it’ll be dull to drive. You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s great. 

If you need a car that becomes a cherished member of your family, the Volkswagen Tiguan will be ideal.
