details
VW Tiguan
The VW Tiguan is a calm, family‑first compact SUV that impresses with cavernous rear room, a versatile boot and sofa‑like seats that make motorway miles feel effortless, while its revamped infotainment is quicker and cleaner than before. It does demand a healthy budget and some compromises — the cabin leans heavily on touch controls for climate and the limited rear child‑seat anchoring and wide mirrors can frustrate buyers who prize simplicity or maximal flexibility.
