So refreshing to hear a road tester talk about what the car is actually like to drive. Carrying on the Wheels magazine tradition. Well done.

Needs a full sized spare for Aust country roads, and forest roads. Don't think the kit provided will fix stone/rock damage on a dirt road. Which is where SUVs should be able to go.

Gr8 review. ❤ it. Switching from a WRX to the Tiguan R

I went to a dealer in 2020 to look at a full spec golf R wagon that was $62000 drive away, ended up buying a R line full kit Tiguan for $65000 drive away. At least the increase with the Tiguan R is justified with a much better vehicle, but $25000 more for the golf is tough to explain.Also I feel that the Tiguan might be using up the last of its original parts and is due a major upgrade, hopefully VW takes notice of the negative feedback in regards to haptic controls and dumps those at least.

Surely the Cupra Formentor is also in the running? At least that's the car I'm comparing to this and trying to decide between...

The seats in the Grid Edition are more supportive and comfortable, which is a bit weird considering the Grid Edition is supposed to be the cheaper model which has equipment compromises...

[farnzy]

My drive away price when i ordered was 87k, the exact same drive away price of the golf r wagon when i changed my order to that. The Tiguan does not have the new 4wd system and the interior is a bit lacklustre for a 87k car. Ended up canceling the order all together. Going to wait until the mk8 price drops a bit and dealers stop cashing in on the inability to get stock.

Good review but can you explain how you turn on the heated stearing wheel one needs to be double jointed ar a circus clown to be able to touch the button with the ones hand. also can you tell me which car can fit a 4 ltr water bottle in the normal holders No one drinks that much water on a trip

[honeyisaac]

i wonder if there is any wait time for this now

[salfield]

@wheels if you hold the R button in for a few seconds the individual screen appears

[georgezablocki]

With 21in wheels there is possibly not enough clearance to fit snow chains which are mandatory in Victorian resorts. Is there a snow package to overcome the above issues

[nickgentile]

Assume it still has drift mode? Did you get a chance to feel the rear end go in the wet?

[danielwarring]

Does it has the easy open/close tail gate (swipe foot underneath)? Also, what about 360 cameras?

[juriebezuidenhout]

Tiguan R is available in South Africa since 2017 called R line with the top of the rage (R line available from the 1.4 to the 2.0 petrol and disel) been fitted with the Golf R engine. Decent review, open and honest. The sport seat comes standard withthe R line here in SA.

[krane]

I hate those integrated head rest seats. They wall off any body seated in the rear.

[sch-corp]

This is based on the mk7 Golf/MQB platform isn't it? Golf R wagon seems like a much better bet to me given VW aren't offering any discounts to account for the fact that this is really an old model now. Or the much sexier Cupra Formentor VZx...

[angusnz]

I thought the Aussie tiggy got the euro tune engine with 420nm?

[BoyceKewute]

The best suv ever in history.... I mean it's a goat suv

[clarkkent]

Great car as long as under warranty. Body flex is interesting but an amazing drive. A big fan of the dynamics but not of the mechanical build QA.

[colonelangus]

Due if your right hand keeps turning on the heater you need to learn how to hold the steering wheel properly.
