VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN REVIEW - THE BEST CAR YOU CAN BUY FOR LESS THAN £25K?

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen Tiguan receives a facelift, offering subtle exterior and interior updates. While the R Line trim tested boasts a sporty design and comfortable ride, the reviewer highlights several drawbacks. The new touch-sensitive controls for the steering wheel and climate are criticized for being unintuitive and less user-friendly than physical buttons. The infotainment system, while functional, is best utilized with smartphone integration. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample space in the rear seats and a large boot. However, the reviewer points out annoying features like fake exhaust pipes, a costly reversing camera with poor quality, and a standard paint color that is deemed uninspiring. Despite these criticisms, the Tiguan is praised for its quiet and comfortable motorway driving, decent handling on twisty roads, and overall competence as a family SUV, making it a worthy contender to shortlist, though perhaps not the most exciting or spacious in its class.
