The model

Read full review

The Volkswagen Tiguan offers generous space for its occupants and a big boot. It's far more than just a big box on wheels, though; its fine driving manners make it a great car to own. The closely related Skoda Karoq is better value for money, though, while the Volvo XC40 has a more upmarket interior.

The trim

See full equipment

Occupying the second rung on the Tiguan trim ladder, Life offers the best blend of luxury and value, adding sat-nav, 18in wheels, automatic high beam, tinted rear windows, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, three-zone climate control and releases in the boot for the rear seat backrest.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine needs working a bit harder than the 2.0 TDI 150 diesel, but is cheaper to buy and offers similar outright performance, making it our pick.
