Volkswagen Tiguan (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Brilliant for practicality and versatility	Infotainment system is way too complex
Nicely trimmed interior	Firm ride on larger alloy wheels
Good looks and desirable image	Many versions look rather expensive

Quick Summary

The Volkswagen Tiguan (2024-present) is a premium mid-size family SUV that combines generous interior space with a posh-feeling cabin and smart styling. The third-generation model offers impressive practicality with a 652-litre boot, cleverly designed rear seats that slide and recline, and excellent headroom and legroom for passengers of all sizes. A wide range of powertrain options includes two eTSI mild-hybrid petrol engines, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel, and plug-in hybrid eHybrid models with around 60-70 miles of all-electric range. The cabin features high-quality materials and a minimalist design, though the 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system is unnecessarily complex.

Driving dynamics are adequate rather than exciting, with the entry-level eTSI engines requiring hard work to maintain moderate pace. The eHybrid plug-in hybrids offer superior performance and impressive electric-only capability, making them attractive for company car drivers. The standard suspension has a firm edge on larger wheels, though optional adaptive suspension provides a smoother ride. Running costs are reasonable, with official fuel economy figures of 46.3mpg for the 128bhp eTSI and 52.3mpg for the diesel, whilst plug-in hybrids offer significant tax benefits. Insurance groupings range from group 18 to group 31 depending on specification, and some versions incur a luxury car surcharge.

Best for: Family buyers seeking a spacious, versatile, and stylish SUV with premium cabin quality, those wanting plug-in hybrid technology for tax efficiency, and drivers prioritising practicality and desirability.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking engaging driving dynamics, or drivers who prefer straightforward infotainment systems without excessive touchscreen reliance.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tiguan if: You're seeking a spacious, versatile, and stylish family SUV with premium cabin quality, want plug-in hybrid technology for tax efficiency, or prioritise practicality and desirability.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, seeking engaging driving dynamics, or prefer straightforward infotainment systems without excessive touchscreen reliance.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen Tiguan (2024-present) is a strong contender in the premium mid-size SUV market, offering excellent practicality, a nicely trimmed interior, and desirable styling. Whilst the Kia Sportage and Skoda Karoq score slightly higher with expert reviewers and offer comparable value, the Tiguan's premium feel, generous interior space, and diverse powertrain options—particularly the plug-in hybrids—make it an excellent choice for family buyers prioritising comfort and technology. The complex infotainment system and firm ride on larger wheels are minor drawbacks, but the overall package remains compelling for those willing to invest in a premium SUV.
