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

A luxury-orientated trim that’s a big jump up from Life. Still, you get plenty of extra toys including 19in wheels, a heated steering wheel, an electric tailgate, keyless entry, ambient LED lighting, blindspot monitoring and a panoramic sunroof.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 2.0-litre diesel has 148bhp and pulls hard from low revs, plus it's available with four-wheel drive (4Motion) if you need it. For most buyers, the equally powerful but cheaper 1.5 TSI 150 petrol is a better choice.
