CarTell take
We haven't driven the Tiguan yet. On paper, touch-and-haptic controls have a steeper learning curve than Korean rivals. Spend time with the smart dial and shortcut bar before committing.
Why consider it
- PHEV with about 100 km WLTP plus DC fast charging is rare in the medium SUV class, and the 195TSI R-Line brings 195 kW for $71,550 plus on-roads.
What to know
- ANCAP rating is still to come for the new generation, and the 5-year warranty trails Kia and MG on cover.
Who it suits
Active families and small fleets who want a class-leading boot, 2,000 kg tow, and the choice of a PHEV or a 235 kW hot SUV flagship. The 150TSI Elegance AWD is the value sweet spot.
