The model

Read full review

The Volkswagen Tiguan offers generous space for occupants, plenty of storage room and a big boot. It's far more than just a big box on wheels, though; its plush interior, cosseting ride and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances in. Its Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40 premium rivals are just slightly better finished, though.
