New Tiguan 2 0. Volkswagen Tiguan review: with an eye on premium

Volkswagen is a people's car. So it is customary to call this car in his native country of Germany. For many years of existence, this brand has managed to establish itself as a reliable, purposeful manufacturer, for which the quality of machines is the main priority.

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most intriguing crossover SUVs to date. Unlike most of its competitors, it actually uses the same chassis as the Golf, which means it's essentially a Golf.

We remind you that the Volkswagen Golf is one of the most famous models of the Volksvagen brand, which acts as a family hatchback for multi-purposes. However, the new Tiguan is much better than this model. I dare say one of the best, if not the best, of crossovers that offers a complete package of services and options, and can also easily compete with more expensive cars.

Changed appearance

As we said earlier, the new 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 2020 will receive minor changes to the interior, such as new upholstery, a new steering wheel, as well as a number of additional options:

  • navigation based on the Android operating system;
  • infotainment block.

It is noteworthy that the manufacturer was originally going to install on-board computers with support for iOS in the Car, which is a direct competitor to the "green robot", but it is still unknown why Volkswagen changed its mind.

One of the features of the new Tiguan will be the official support for diesel fuel.

On the other hand, the appearance of this almost does not change: the updated model looks the same as its gasoline predecessors. The grille will have a honeycomb mesh with the TDI logo. At the same time, a rear dual exhaust system will be present. The wheels will remain eighteen inches in size with a special system to combat the occurrence of sway while riding. Below you can view photos of the Volkswagen Tiguan 2019.

Powerful technical parameters


Now let's move on to the technical specifications of the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan. Let's start with the engine that lives under the hood of the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan. torque.

The latest generation Volkswagen Golf has a similar engine. As practice shows, this is a real beast, especially for a diesel engine.

Thanks to a huge torque figure, as well as a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, this diesel has a maximum speed limit of 203 kilometers / hour (about 125 miles / hour), which allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 7.5 seconds. It is already known for sure that this model has an all-wheel drive wheel system, which in itself is an excellent addition to the Volkswagen Tiguan 2019 SUV.

One of the most important features of this engine, which we have not yet had time to say, is its fuel consumption - only 7 liters per 100 kilometers. That's pretty impressive for an SUV. You can also check out the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan test drive video to see this “graceful monster” in all its glory.

Identified pros and cons


Although the German manufacturer has made some adjustments to the updated model, some of the shortcomings of previous versions and new “bugs” remain here.

Main advantages:

  • diesel engine;
  • new car trim
  • modern electronics;
  • availability;
  • seven-speed gearbox.

Main disadvantages:

  • no major changes compared to previous models;
  • weak power relative to gasoline relatives;
  • higher cost.

Below are the statistics and comparative characteristics of Tiguan 2019 2020 and older models, we advise you to familiarize yourself.

Prices and release date

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan will largely remain the same car as before, but with a new engine. As mentioned earlier, it will feature a few design changes as well as a slightly updated interior that is meant to make the car look much better than before.

Prices in Europe, the US and Russia can vary considerably, but the current petrol model costs $25,000. Therefore, we believe that the price tag of diesel Foltz should not rise above 27,000 green presidents.

Most likely, the release date of the new model will be set for the end of 2019, so the start of sales of the Volkswagen Tiguan 2019 in Russia may be delayed for several more months.

The main competitors of the crossover


The modern car market offers the widest selection and it is easy to get lost in all the brands, makes and models. If you are looking for a good crossover with low fuel consumption of a diesel engine (which is very economical), you can take a closer look at two other competing models of the Volkswagen Tiguan 2019 2020: Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5.

Best features of Honda CR-V:

  • spacious salon;
  • good handling;
  • transmission.

Among the shortcomings, one can note poor maneuverability due to the large dimensions of the car.

Now consider the positive aspects of the Mazda CX-5:

  • powerful engine;
  • classic design.

The disadvantage is poor soundproofing.

Unlike Volkswagen, these babies come from Japan, not Europe, but we never once doubted their quality and reliability.

Sales market: Russia.

The official premiere of the second generation Volkswagen Tiguan took place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2015. The new Tiguan uses the modular MQB platform and inherits most of the powertrains available for the Golf VII. The new platform allowed the off-road vehicle to become larger and more spacious than the previous one - the increase in width and height was 60 and 30 mm, respectively. The car became lower by 33 mm and received an increased wheelbase (a long-wheelbase version is also provided). In addition, with the change of generations Tiguan lost 50 kg of weight. In August 2016, the production of a new model in Russia began in Russia - at the Volkswagen Group Rus plant in Kaluga, while it was announced that the more expensive Tiguan II would be sold in the Russian market along with the previous model, as long as it is in demand. At the same time, it became known that more affordable versions of the new crossover will appear on the market after the first Tiguan is removed from sale in the Russian Federation. For the Russian buyer, the new model is available with different engine options: four of them are petrol: 1.4 TSI (125 hp and 150 hp), 2.0 TSI (180 hp and 220 hp), and one diesel unit 2.0 TDI (150 hp).


The Trendline equipment includes such features as: three-zone climate control, a Composition Color audio system with a 5" color display, an SD card slot, USB / AUX connectors and Bluetooth wireless interface. In addition, Tiguan offers as standard: alloy wheels 17" rims, front fog lights, LED rear lights, heated leather multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters (for automatic transmission), heated front seats, heated windshield washer nozzles, height-adjustable front seats. The more expensive version of the Comfortline will additionally offer a color multi-function animated driver display, heated rear seats, reflector-type LED headlights, storage boxes under the front seats, folding tables in the backs of the front seats, a fully folding front passenger seat back. The top-end Highline version is available for the buyer: 18" alloy wheels, a heat-insulated electrically heated windshield, an advanced Composition Media multimedia system with an 8-inch screen, projection-type LED headlights with swivel backlight, 3D LED taillights, Active Info virtual digital dashboard Display, power trunk, illuminated door sills and more.

The starting engine for the second generation Tiguan is a 1.4-liter TSI with 125 hp, which can be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or automatic 6-speed dual-clutch robotic DSG and is installed only on front-wheel drive versions. With this engine, Tiguan accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds, the declared average gasoline consumption is 6.5-6.8 liters per 100 km. In a more powerful modification, the 1.4-liter engine produces 150 hp. It is offered both with “mechanics” (only with 4Motion all-wheel drive), and with a 6-speed “automatic” DSG, for which modifications are provided with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. This power unit allows Tiguan to accelerate to “hundreds” in 9.2 seconds, while maintaining approximately the same average consumption. All other modifications are offered only with 4Motion all-wheel drive and a more productive 7-speed DSG automatic. Version 2.0 TSI with 180 hp accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h in 7.7 seconds, the average consumption is 8 l / 100 km. With an engine of the same volume, but with a return of 220 hp. when accelerating to 100 km / h, the Tiguan wins 1.2 seconds, and the average gasoline consumption will be 8.4 l / 100 km. The only 2.0 TDI diesel powertrain is available with 150 hp. In dynamics, it is modest - 9.3 seconds. for acceleration to 100 km / h, but the average diesel fuel consumption is only 6.1 l / 100 km.

Tiguan second generation has a fully independent suspension - McPherson front and rear multi-link. In all trim levels, the car has ventilated front disc brakes and rear disc brakes, as well as an electromechanical parking brake with the AutoHold system (the function of holding the car when starting off) and is equipped with a regenerative braking system. The wheelbase of the standard Tiguan is 2681 mm (a modification with a long wheelbase of 2791 mm is also expected). The ride height is 200 mm. The 4Motion Active Control system in all-wheel drive modifications allows you to select different driving profiles: for highway, off-road and depending on weather conditions, and additionally includes the XDS electronic cross-axle differential lock.

Volkswagen Tiguan is well prepared in terms of safety. The basic version of Trendline includes a whole range of active systems: electronic stability program (ESP), anti-lock braking system (ABS) with traction control (ASR), electronic differential lock (EDL) and trailer stabilization. Tiguan also has an active hood with a pedestrian protection system, an ERA GLONASS system, a Front Assist distance control system with City Emergency Braking. And all this - not counting the full set of airbags (including the optional driver's knee airbag), active head restraints, ISOFIX mounts. In more expensive versions, there are: front and rear parking sensors, Light Assist automatic high beam headlights, automatic dipped beam headlights, cornering lights, a tire pressure monitoring system and other functions. The second generation Tiguan received a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating.

Read completely

By when the whole world was waiting for the appearance of a compact crossover VW on the PQ35 platform in 2006, no one knew what it would be called: Nanuk, Namib, Rockton or Samun. But as a result of the all-German vote, it was the Tiguan variant that won, and it was under this name that the car was presented to Urbi et Orbi, that is, to the City and the World, at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The very first years of production clearly showed that an exceptionally successful car was born in the bowels of the concern. And what about the fact that the "tiger" of the German designers came out somewhat frivolous and very homely, a sort of "Tigrik Petrik" from the children's performance of the Obraztsov puppet theater. The main thing is that it appealed to buyers in many countries, and in 2014, at the peak of its popularity, more than 500,000 compact crossovers of this model were sold in the world!

By the way, the fact that most of the cars were sold just a year before the planned appearance of the second generation Tiguan, as well as the fact that in the nine years of the conveyor life of the model only one restyling was needed (and even then not the largest), speak of an exact “hit ten."

But the laws of the auto business are inexorable, and in 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show (traditions must be observed!) The official premiere of the second generation of the crossover took place. World markets met the new Tiguan no less favorably than its predecessor, but in our country, the wait for the start of sales was somewhat delayed.

There were reasons for this, which I have already mentioned: only Russian-assembled crossovers equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system will be sold in Russia. And in order to organize this very assembly, VOLKSWAGEN Group Rus LLC needed to build a new workshop and spend about 180 million euros. But now the waiting period is over, and here it is - the new Tiguan comes from Kaluga!

Growing up tiger cubs

The tiger has grown up. He lost his childhood swelling, all the features became sharper and tougher, and the overall image approached the older brother VW Touareg. The new LED lights look great. I especially liked the rear lights in the form of the Latin letter F.

And yet, compared with the previous generation, the car has grown in length by 60 mm, in width by 30 mm, and has become 33 mm lower. This growth was achieved not only due to the size of the body as such: both the wheelbase and track have increased (by 77 and 20 mm, respectively). And this is not surprising, because the new Tiguan is built on a modular MQB platform, which is worth a few words.



Platform of strategic importance

The abbreviation MQB stands for Modularer Querbaukasten, which can be translated as "modular matrix with a transverse engine." The first official mention of this platform dates back to 2012, but I have not been able to find any information about how long ago work on its creation began. However, many sources note that more than 60 billion euros have been spent on the development of this platform.

The head of the VW Group development department, Ulrich Hackelberg, called the MQB a “strategic weapon of the concern” for a reason. The concept of platform construction, which has received the widest acceptance, has made life easier for engineers and saved companies a lot of money. But, as a rule, each individual platform, giving designers a wide field to play with the appearance and equipment, rather rigidly sets two parameters: the wheelbase, which is set in a single option (less often - in several fixed ones) and the track. All this, in turn, determines the general proportions of cars built on this platform.

But in the case of MQB, the situation is somewhat different. This "constructor" allows you to assemble from individual elements the power base of a wide variety of cars, ranging in size from "supermini" to mid-size SUVs, reducing costs and development time for each specific model by about 30%. In general, the second Tiguan is only the first sign in the planned cohort of various crossovers. But all this will be tomorrow, and today the "swallow" is quite ready to take me in the driver's seat.

Ideal somewhere near

As usual, for the test I got a car in a top-end configuration: a two-liter 180-horsepower engine, a 7-speed DSG robot, keyless entry (although a standard key fob was used, with a folding sting), electrically adjustable sports seats covered in Vienna leather two colors, and a lot of all sorts of "goodies" such as electric tailgate.

The overall architecture of the salon is fully consistent with the corporate style: strictly, elegantly, with high quality, and the glass roof and a huge panoramic sunroof fill the salon with light and air. Some chrome, some piano lacquer surfaces, and mostly soft, pleasant-to-touch plastics.





The only pity is that the designers were still a little greedy: the plastic parts in the lower part of the cabin, including those with which the knees can come into contact, are nevertheless made rigid. But the overall ergonomics of the driver's seat, in my opinion, is close to ideal. Literally a couple of clicks on the keys of the seat drives - and it feels like you've been driving this car all your life ... However, the ideal - it's the ideal, to be unattainable.

I probably will never understand why German designers carry the gas and brake pedals so high. It would be better if they increased the distance between them by 10 millimeters so as not to cling to the edge of the pedal with the welt of winter shoes. After all, Tiguan is not some kind of passenger car, but a completely full-fledged crossover, with all-wheel drive, 200 mm ground clearance and off-road transmission modes. Of course, a significant part of its owners will never leave the asphalt, but among them there may be fishing enthusiasts and owners of remote country houses.


The same goes for the steering wheel. It is certainly good and convenient on the highway, but off-road or just on a broken primer with deep ruts, when every now and then you need to shift the steering wheel 360 degrees in one direction or the other, it is much more convenient to use a "steering wheel" with a uniform section around the entire circumference. The same applies to long hauls: ergonomic influxes set the only comfortable hand position on the steering wheel quite rigidly, but when you drive a car for many hours in a row, you constantly want to change your grip every now and then. I didn’t like the obvious congestion of the steering wheel with buttons - as many as 9 pieces for each spoke.




The discreet charm of virtuality

But all this is not the main thing. In fact, the first thing that catches your eye is the 12-inch Active Info color display that has replaced the entire instrument cluster. Until recently, such a solution could only be seen in prestigious luxury cars, but now it is increasingly penetrating the “middle class”. Strictly speaking, there is nothing strange in this. I am generally sure that as electronic components become cheaper and cheaper, the scope of "virtual dashboards" will grow, and very soon we will see them even in the salons of very budget models.


And here two points are important. Firstly, versatility: you can display any data on the screen right in front of your eyes at will. You want trip computer data, you want digital speedometer readings, you want information about what music the entertainment system plays.




And secondly, designers get complete freedom and can "draw" the panel in any style. In the case of the Tiguan, the designers quite effectively used the display as a universal information output device. But for some reason they forgot that the style of the dashboard design can also change now. It's a pity...

Because this whole disco in the red-white-blue colors of the British (or Russian, Dutch, French, Czech...) flag will definitely not appeal to everyone. It seems to me that several preset styles (“sporty”, “aviation”, “retro”, “futuristic”) with the ability to select them through the menu would be quite inexpensive, would not require any changes in the design, and the pluses of the model would be added .

What do you have against the Chinese?

Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine any prestigious car without a touch screen display crowning the center console with a solid diagonal. In this regard, the new Tiguan does not lag behind competitors: all the data on the eight-inch screen is perfectly readable, the system has a high speed of response to touch, the main functions are duplicated by hot keys located on the side of the display.


But the main novelty, of course, was the AppConnect application, which allows you to fully integrate your smartphone (at least on iOS, at least on Android) with the navigation and information system of the car. I had very high hopes for this function, but, alas, they did not come true: the system refused to work with the ZTE Nubia smartphone. Maybe the owners of devices of more popular brands would be more fortunate ...


I could only regret the impossibility of displaying a navigator with traffic jams on a regular large screen, hanging a suction cup holder on the windshield and limiting myself to a Bluetooth connection with hands-free systems and a music player. By the way, music from a smartphone can also be connected via an AUX cable, or you can burn it to a USB flash drive or an optical disc.


In search of the Czech trace

The designers also took care of the passengers of the second row. Firstly, it is quite spacious there (and this is a considerable merit of the grown wheelbase), and secondly, they have at their disposal not only an armrest with cup holders, but also folding tables with retractable arms for drinks. The trunk volume is also impressive: 615 liters is a lot!

But even more I liked the fact that in order to fold down the rear seatbacks and increase the available volume to 1,655 liters, you do not have to run around the entire car, opening the right rear door, then the left. He pulled the handle inside the trunk - and part of the back obediently fell forward, pulled the second - and the rest fell. The tailgate itself can be opened in at least four ways: using the key on the driver's door, from the key fob, by pressing the button located above the license plate, and by magically waving your foot under the bumper.

Plus, the Tiguan offers a range of Simply Clever-inspired goodies that sister brand Skoda is proud of. Among such solutions, I can include the already mentioned folding tables, and massive hooks for packages inside the trunk, and a regular inverter with a 230-volt outlet, which allows you to use ordinary household appliances on the road. To be honest, the inverter is not that expensive and I don't really understand why so few companies even offer it as an option.


Pay for delight

But the most interesting thing is how the Tiguan behaves on the road. To begin with, I’ll say right away that finding a common language with this car is very simple. Any half an hour, and it begins to seem to you that the crossover is controlled by the power of your thought - it is so accurate and predictable. And even in difficult situations - for example, on a slippery road sprinkled with snow. It is quite predictable that the Tiguan in the “sport” mode looks more like a tiger (with a completely predatory appetite of 15-17 liters per 100 km), and in the “eco” mode it looks like a cold, slippery iguana.





Acceleration up to 100 km/h, s

And a few more words about the transmission. I can happily state that it looks like the company has finally brought their "robot" to mind, so for the most part I just forgot about the presence of a DSG box in the car. The times when the dual clutch transmission would start to twitch, “get confused”, and in many situations could not decide which gear to select (“Third ... Oh no, fifth ... No, still third. .. But no, the fourth ...”), are a thing of the past. However, I did run into one bug. Parking near the curb on a slope and engaging reverse, I was surprised to find that the car continued to roll forward. I had to “play two pedals”, pressing the brake with my left foot and the gas with my right foot, otherwise contact with the bumper of the car in front would be inevitable.




Assistants, your way out!

But what definitely helps when parking is the all-round view mode, supplemented by sound signals from sensors. I have already written more than once that the presence of video cameras in our conditions cannot replace traditional “parktronics”, because after 10 minutes of driving along the roads treated with a reagent, the lenses are covered with an opaque film, and the image on the monitor turns into a set of incomprehensible spots.


Maximum speed, km/h

But I never used the automatic parking mode ... But I tried how the Front Assist distance control assistant works in the city. A warning about a dangerous approach to a car moving in front is not superfluous at all, as well as about the presence of an obstacle in the blind zone.

couple of steps up

And one more circumstance confirms that the new Tiguan has climbed at least a couple of steps up the ladder of prestige: it has definitely become significantly more comfortable on the go. Firstly, I would like to note the excellent sound insulation: engine noise begins to penetrate into the cabin except during sharp accelerations, when the engine spins up to 4-5 thousand revolutions, and aerodynamic noise begins to be felt only at a speed of 110-120 kilometers per hour.

Secondly, on a long journey, both the driver and passengers will not be hot or cold: all problems are solved by three-zone climate control. Finally, on a decent road, the suspension is also quite comfortable, perfectly swallowing small bumps and joints. But more serious obstacles (for example, "speed bumps") Tiguan passes very hard, although I have never recorded a breakdown of the suspension. However, it is quite obvious that the car is tuned for speed and handling on the pavement, and this is what becomes the factor that limits the limits of its cross-country ability.

The updated model of the sensational bestseller - Volkswagen Tiguan 2016-2017 has already been demonstrated at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Needless to say, the news about the new model captured the automotive world, because the previous version was sold in a huge circulation of copies - more than two million cars scattered around the world. What to expect from the updated version of the famous crossover?

Design of the new Tiguan 2016-2017

The appearance of the car has changed tremendously - the car looks much more modern and dynamic.

In different configurations, the front view of the restyled model may differ, although the overall design style of the car is preserved. The R-Line (sport) version has an improved aerodynamic profile on the front bumper, a significant large rear bumper, all other changes are similar in style to all modifications.

The head lamps have a rectangular shape, form a strip, between them there is a narrow radiator grill, its trims are chrome-plated. (the new optical format is a bit similar to ). On the hood of the new Tiguan, eye-catching ribs stretch from the front roof pillars to the corners of the light blocks.
The improved model also has an innovative feature that minimizes injury to pedestrians: when it comes into contact with the hood, it automatically rises.

Looking at the car in profile, the updated ribs are the first to catch the eye on the example, their most noticeable change is at the level of the door handles and moving towards the edge of the taillights. The wheel arches on the sides of the body are also updated - pointy, powerful, with the ability to install a wheel up to 20 inches.

The trunk received a curious bend along the contour near the rear optics, its cover slightly increased in size, the rear bumper acquired narrow strips of light reflectors, as well as a built-in diffuser. The shape of the mirrors has changed - they have become more streamlined. All these innovations have affected the coefficient of resistance to air flow - now it is 0.31. (previously the numbers looked something like this - 0.37).

Volkswagen Tiguan 2016-2017, side view

The brand has already posted photos on the Internet, so you can appreciate all the changes not only in words.
The modified Tiguan received an ultra-modern modular platform (MQB), the company plans to expand it, thanks to which in the near future specialists will be able to launch an enlarged model - an SUV for 7 people with the ability to install batteries and a hybrid power plant in it.

The weight of the car with passengers and cargo has decreased by 50 kg compared to the previous version, with dimensions that have changed upwards.

Owner reviews

In a car for 1.5 million, the button to open the 5th door completely froze (this is at -2 degrees), and condensation formed in the rear lights. At the same time, fogging of both lights is not a warranty case (for removing and installing the lights and drying them on the battery for 5 hours, the officials billed 1,800 rubles). This is German quality...

Gasoline consumption of the new Tiguan (automatic, 2.0 l) in winter, when driving vegetables, did not fall below 16.5 l / 100 km. And this is after a competent break-in (no more than 2,000 rpm for 1,500 km).

Liked: handling, comfort, dynamics, Shumka.

Did not like: fuel consumption, no USB input on the head unit.

Video review

Here they write about the steering wheel, usb, etc. - this is all nonsense. The main drawback of the new Volkswagen Tiguan 2 is the fuel consumption of 15-16 liters ... If this is not stressful for you, then I kindly envy you.

In all other respects, the perfect crossover for the city. Optimal price-quality ratio. For six months of intense use, no questions.

We have been driving the new VW Tiguan 2 since March 2016. The equipment is CLUB. The first maintenance was carried out at 11 thousand km, i.e. before the prescribed 15 thousand. By the way, all VW dealers have a promotion on Sundays - a 20% discount on maintenance. Before passing the maintenance, they filled 95, periodically there was some kind of whistle for a few seconds when the engine was started, then it disappeared, the speed dropped to 0.8 in two minutes. Passed MOT — everything is OK, changed the oil, filters.

They asked about the whistle, no one answered intelligibly. We live in the Crimea, 98 gasoline has been imported to us since September. We switched to it. And a miracle - the whistle disappeared, the speed after starting the engine falls in 10-15 seconds. The car is frisky, the turbine turns on when the driver needs it, i.e. when overtaking in low gear and helps a lot.

Noise isolation is good. When we bought, we were frightened by oil consumption — nothing like that. There were practically no expenses. In general, comfortable, dignified, crossover))

Consumption on the highway - 5.4-6.0, city - 8-10, up to 11 - if there are traffic jams. There is a good function - Autohold - keeps the car on the descent and ascent, like a handbrake, when you need to move off, you press the gas pedal and there is no rolling back at all.

Accelerates well and briskly, holds the track steadily. The speed of 120-130 km / h is not felt. Didn't like the upholstery. The fabric could be better.

Irina, review of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 (125 hp) mechanics in 2016

Very comfortable car, dynamic and economical, stylish and modern. A daily trip turns into a pleasure for the whole family. For 30 years of driving, I changed 10 cars - the Tiguan did not disappoint. Of the shortcomings, I will only note that the seat upholstery material could be better.

Where can I buy?

The car was bought in the spring of 2017. I had three main requirements: diesel, webasto and bumper off road. I bought this one - Comfortline equipment + six option packages.

I often go to nature (fishing, mushrooms), so I decided to change the BMW sedan to something higher. In principle, I am satisfied with the replacement, but, as they say, there are nuances. After the purchase, I pasted over the entire front of the car with a film (I drive fast and sometimes far, and the headlights and paint become cloudy in a couple of years). I installed a mesh in the bumper - the radiators look painfully defenseless))

LED headlights, especially at night and in the rain — it's class! I also liked the strips of LED lighting in the doors and thresholds, it’s cozy.

I do not like the fabric upholstery on the doors - it quickly gets dirty. For some reason, several electrical connectors were placed under the neck of the windshield washer reservoir - if you miss a little, liquid gets on them. In some modes, the rearview mirror shakes and vibrates. Dipped beam — well, very close.

Review of Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 diesel (150 hp) with robot and all-wheel drive 2017

The car is purely masculine in design, strict, as my friend says: “not very pontovitaya and not very simple, spectacular — that is, the golden mean.” I fully agree with him.
