SETTING A NEW BAR

The all-new VW Tiguan offers a tremendous package in the luxury SUV segment. We take a look at what makes it so special.

- 

At autoX, we have always been fans of the VW Tiguan. Having driven them various times over the years, we loved its perfect size for a nuclear family, yet offering a spacious interior and big boot. Of course, there was always the feeling of quality and reassurance that comes with the German build quality and safety equipment. But, most of all, what we really enjoyed in the various iterations of the Tiguan we drove was its driving appeal. The engine was super responsive, the steering sharp, and the handling and ride comfort were spot on for anyone who loves driving.

THE EMPEROR HAS NEW CLOTHES

However, the Tiguan was globally due for a generation change, and we were happy to hear that we were getting the new SUV soon. Of course, this also means a full new design, and we are happy to see that VW has taken a bold approach and given the Tiguan a new identity. The new Tiguan stands out with its aggressive stance, big 19-inch wheels and the full-width taillight. However, we think the one thing that we really love is the bold colour choices the German brand has made for the Tiguan, it really makes it stand out in the crowd of SUVs in Black, White and Silver - in fact, we really love the Persimmon Red metallic shade!
