The model
Read full Volkswagen Tiguan review
The VW Tiguan has plenty going for it, including generous space for occupants, a big boot and neat driving manners, but its higher costs count against it. The Skoda Karoq represents better value, while the Volvo XC40 rides better (unless you spend extra on the Tiguan's adaptive suspension), has a better-made interior, and isn't much pricier. For private buyers, the 1.5 TSI 150 Match is the one to go for, while company car drivers will be better off with the eHybrid 204 PHEV.
The trim
Entry-level Life trim has 18in alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, wireless phone-charging, power-folding door mirrors, 12.9in infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto, digital driver's display, front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera, and adaptive cruise control. It's a good option if you're wanting to keep costs down, but next-level Match is not much more.
The engine
This higher powered version of the eTSI engine produces 148bhp and trims the 0-62mph time to 9.1 seconds. Top speed remains 130mph.
