2024 - VW Tiguan R-Line: First UK Drive Review

#VW #Tiguan #NewCar
In this exclusive first drive experience, we were graciously invited by VW Press to Feathered Nest, nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, where we got up close and personal with not just the remarkable Tiguan, but also got a look at the new Passat and the revamped T-Cross. However, our focus remained firmly on the Tiguan.

Buckle up as we hit the roads of the Cotswolds, exploring every nook and cranny in this sleek and sophisticated SUV. We'll delve into what's fresh, what's impressive, and perhaps even what's not-so-great in the latest iteration of VW's best-selling vehicle. Does the new Tiguan truly uphold its esteemed reputation? Let's find out together!

From its refined design to its practicality, we explored what's new and see how they improve on a car that the people LOVE. So, sit back, and join us as we embark on this journey with the VW Tiguan in the picturesque landscapes of the UK.

I’ve ordered the R line black with black kit, leather seats and sunroof.

Definitely putting this on my list of potential replacements for my current Skoda Karoq. Thanks for such a simple but informative video.

I'm in the process of ordering one with the black pack, winter pack and leather package so this was a really useful video for me. Thanks

[grassyknoll]

Just ordered one. September delivery can’t wait!!!

Oh great, thanks for the review! The R-design TiguanA in this colour is the exact one I'd pick, too. I was very excited when I saw this unveiled months ago, although they chose some dull colour combos for the official press photos.. Anyways, 100% agreed on the engine choices - the plug-in hybrid would be the one for me, too. The thing is, though, when I go onto VW's German website (as they already sell the plug-in hybrid there), the final price is soooo high! In my currency, it's around 1.8 mil CZK, whereas an X5 50e with 20-30k on the odo can be had for 2.4ish. Compared to the new GLC, yeah, you save some money (like 8k EUR-ish) when comparing the hybrids, but the tech and feel inside the cabin in a Merc cannot be compared to this. And again, I like the TiguanA. Maybe in half a year or so, it will be a better buy as there will be more cars used by the dealers, and the price will drop. Right now, I don't think the value is there for the higher trim specs. The entry-level model - sure, go for it if you're okay with owning a bit lazy car with no soul.

Great review thank you!

you mention the shiny screen but the dash, did you find it caught your eye all the time with reflections? I much prefer the look of the tiguan but also considering the skoda kodiaq (5 seater) for slightly more room, both PHEV versions. I note that VW specs their PHEV's with DCC as standard but the skoda doesnt, would you say that DCC is worth it?

[swayz]

Great video! Well detailed!

I’ve read on the UK VW website that the electric tailgate is not standard on the R-Line, is that true? The one you reviewed has a pretty cool feature where you can wave your leg under the boot which I haven’t seen on other video reviews, assuming this is an added feature?

[scherrersebastien]

Great video! What do you think about the sport seats? Are they confortable?

[davidmiller]

Thanks for the video, really informative. Contemplating switching to one of these when the lease on my Touareg runs out later in the year, but worried it will feel a bit cheap by comparison (currently driving the Black Edition with 340 BHP). Also a bit worried by that (potentially overcomplicated) screen and the shifter stalk... What do you think?

[Dajustisce]

Great review bud! Do you think the plug in hybrid will come with r line?

[kaypee]

Your G-Shock matches the Tiguan very well!

[edgmtb]

When the last tiggy came out i wanted it immediately!
This one just does not do it for me, looks boring outside and in, + no 4 motion? 😢

[jimbrown]

We have had one for the last two years

[MattKew-lp]

Hi what seat option is it on this car is it soul leather or greyson sport

[francudenis]

I drove one today for a test and when we talk inside it feels like there is an echo voice, like we were talking in a microphone or something.. i wonder if it was the car or all gives the same feeling.. strange anyway. Did you notice something like that?

[andrijaoros]

How would you compare it with Austral? Which would you choose?

[alanwayte]

It’s illegal to look at your phone, yet here we still have no physical climate controls, and a 15” touch screen, it insane

[aficio]

As hard as I try I prefer my Mk2 R Line Tech. The styling is bland and paying more 4 less does not motivate me change anytime soon. I will certainly not be paying £500 + 4 car tax. As things stand VW has lost a Tiguan customer.

[stevesimmons]

Excellent presentation.
Ridiculous gear shifter.

[xyzxyz]

How would you compare it with GLC? Which one is better?
