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 latest Volkswagen Tiguan is the third generation of VW's best-selling mid-size five-seater family SUV, positioning itself at the posher end of the mainstream market. It boasts smart, conservative looks with high-end detailing, and an interior that feels a cut above many rivals, along with a focus on technology, particularly its large touchscreen infotainment system. While the mild-hybrid engines can feel a little underwhelming, the plug-in hybrid eHybrid models offer impressive electric-only range (around 60-70 miles) and strong combined performance.

Practicality is a major strength, with hugely impressive interior space, generous head and legroom, and a versatile rear bench that slides and reclines. The boot is a very generous 652 litres (490 litres for PHEVs) and well-designed for usability. Running costs are competitive, especially for PHEV company car drivers due to low Benefit-in-Kind tax. However, the infotainment system can be overly complex, and the ride can be firm on larger wheels, with many versions crossing the £40,000 threshold, incurring an additional luxury car surcharge.

Best for: Family buyers needing generous interior space and a big boot, those seeking a premium-feeling interior and desirable image, company car drivers considering plug-in hybrids, and buyers prioritising practicality and versatility.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget, those who dislike complex touchscreen interfaces, or drivers sensitive to a firm ride (especially on larger wheels).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tiguan if: You're a family buyer seeking generous space and a versatile interior, you appreciate a premium-feeling cabin and desirable image, or you're a company car driver considering the advantageous plug-in hybrid options.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, prefer physical controls over a complex touchscreen, or desire a softer, more cosseting ride.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen Tiguan (2024-present) is a strong contender in the family SUV market, excelling in practicality, interior quality, and offering a desirable image. Its varied powertrain options, particularly the long-range plug-in hybrids, make it an attractive choice for many. While its infotainment system can be frustrating and some versions are pricey, its overall package of space, style, and advanced features ensures it holds its own against key rivals, making it a highly appealing option for those who value refinement and versatility.
