The model
Read full Volkswagen Tiguan review
The new VW Tiguan offers generous space for occupants, a big boot and fine driving manners, but its higher costs count against it. A Skoda Karoq is better value, while the Volvo XC40 can be had for the same cost as a mid-rung Tiguan. For private buyers, the 1.5 TSI 150 Life is the one to go for, while company car drivers will be better off with the eHybrid.
The trim
Life trim adds larger 18in alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, wireless phone-charging and adaptive cruise control.
The engine
This is the entry-level petrol engine in the Tiguan. It uses mild-hybrid technology to bolster its performance and fuel economy, producing 128bhp and completing the 0-62mph sprint in 10.6 seconds. Top speed is 130mph, and a seven-speed automatic gearbox is standard.
