Score: 8 / 10
“The Tiguan is one of the more pricey mainstream SUV options. It’s not over-expensive when one considers the quality of its fit and finish, but certainly at the upper end of its market.”

Model reviewed: 1.5-litre petrol manual Life
Score: 8 / 10
“If you want a no-nonsense family SUV that can transport a family of five in relative comfort at an affordable price, then the Volkswagen Tiguan remains thoroughly recommendable. The sacrifice is that, as a base-spec Life model, it’s an SUV lacking any sort of excitement.”

“Volkswagen certainly hasn’t held back with this important mid-life facelift for the big-selling Tiguan. It drives exactly like it did before – so it’s unremarkable but comfortable – and offers a useful blend of performance and fuel economy in the case of this 150hp diesel option.”

“It’s refined, well-built, decent to drive and cleverer than it ought to be. The benefits of the Tiguan’s facelift can be felt through well-integrated tech and comfort features. Some niggles on the boot space and dynamic front are shared with nearly all this car’s rivals, and can’t be seen as dealbreakers.”

“If you want your Tiguan with more space, the VW Tiguan Allspace is the answer. It’s not quite as big as a Skoda Kodiaq, however”

Model reviewed: Tiguan Allspace range
Score: 6 / 10
“The VW Tiguan Allspace is a bigger, seven-seat version of the Tiguan. You get plenty of high-tech creature comforts and lots of room in the back, but alternatives are quite a bit cheaper.”

“The Volkswagen Tiguan is a spacious, comfortable and good-to-drive SUV. Its raised driving position gives you a great view out but it’s a little bit more expensive than alternatives.”

“Sleeker nose and mild improvements to cabin and technology make for a sensible if not spectacular update to a successful SUV. However, it could do with being a bit more efficient.”

“VW’s best-selling SUV is competent and refined, but it lacks its own clear personality.”

“The Volkswagen Tiguan may be pricier than some of its rivals, but it’s easy to drive, family-friendly and affordable to run. It’s also available with some of the latest safety and convenience technologies and a wide range of engines. If you’re looking for a high-quality crossover, it’s a great choice.”

“The Tiguan is an SUV that is, quite simply, the best of its type. Head and shoulders above the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga you might be considering.”
