Pick the Tiguan if you want SUV presence, a higher driving position and sharper styling — it’s the more grown-up, weekend-ready choice with modern tech and a bit of attitude. The Touran, by contrast, is the pragmatic family hero: lower, roomier and endlessly adaptable, with clever seating and …

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.

My Tiguan 2.0 TSI is flawless after eight years and still looks great. I really can't complain.

What counts is longevity... and on that front VW doesn't convince.

Lynk & Co 01

The Lynk & Co 01 marries bold, contemporary styling with a roomy, well-appointed cabin, striking a rare balance between fashionable flair and everyday practicality. With intuitive tech, flexible ownership ideas and a playful driving character, it’s the kind of crossover that turns heads at the lights and keeps owners grinning on the commute.

I have the 01 from 2022 and have had it for 2 years. It's been a lovely car to own and drive. I return from Spain to the UK twice a year in it and it's a pleasure to travel in. The only grip has been the infotainment system which has been buggy and slow. I had the software updated a few weeks ago at the Volvo garage as the over the air option does not work. This has made the infotainment system acceptable now.

It takes a while to get used to the seats for me as the base is quite hard but now I feel they are very confortable. I charge it everyday in the carpark and I use it 90% of the time on electric mode. It does the 70km on a full charge as stated and in petrol mode I'm getting around 16km a litre or 75 a gallon, the engine is only used on motorways.

Aftersales service is patchy here in Spain. My nearest dealer is about a 40 min drive from here, it's not like owning a Renault where there's a dealer everywhere, I've only had to take it there twice, once turned out to be a stone in a brake caliper causing a squeak and the other for the software update.

I highly recommend these cars!
