The 'kick open' tailgate does work, just sweep your foot under it, not shake your foot around like its on fire, give the sensor a moment.
The bloke is a nut case
I tested the 1.4TSI + 6 DSG wet clutch in my country. I must admit this is one of the best mid size SUV.
7-speed dry clutch didn't work well in my country, there were lots of complaints. VW paired it with wet clutch.
because of the hot weather n my country, avg 31-33c.
VW should make a tiguan R and give it the 300hp version of the 2.0L and add the akrapovic titanium exhaust.. The rest can stay the same ;)
People don't want 4 cylinder engines.
LIke who?
The 5 cylinder 400hp engine from the new Rs3.
Even if they bumped up by 40 hp along with the torque... other than that it’s a beautiful car. But then again I’m sure the price would definitely go up by at least 10-15k
@@sinoperture WRONG.
Is it reliable tho? and is it expensive to maintain
You don't kick the boot like that to trigger the power tailgate opening and closing. You swipe your foot from one side to another under the bumper.
I personally prefer the DSG, in my opinion I believe it is allot smoother between gear changes
After owning a DSG car that has the gearbox having trouble getting into 2nd gear I never want to go back.
@@WildDanHibiki thats bad, I've had 2 with DSG and never had a problem on any of them
The only sadly thing of this car is if you want to get a R-line Tiguan, you should wait more then 3 months. I ordered it in March and I need to wait until July or August for pick up the car.
These won't be in Canada until fall/winter......unfortunately we couldn't wait :(
So we went with a slightly used touareg executive instead ;)
How about the reliability???
Just bought one, hope made the right choice
Great, fun informative review, thanks
That's the European version - the Canadian / North American version has a third row in the back. Which is not that practicable, because it drives up the price unnecessarily.
People do not understand how to use touch free tailgate. Kick twice quickly and it will work EVERYTIME. Everyone keeps kicking in the wrong pattern. Twice in succession. Only twice, not once and then once again.
Hi Friends!
Where is the sunroof?
I wanna to know which road the car was testing? I like the water part.
It looks like Oxford Falls Road, Oxford Falls NSW, just east of the intersection with Wakehurst Parkway
Your roads looked bumpy so how was the ride on those massive low profiles. Not good I’m guessing.
Tested 2.0L version. Major Turbo lag. Very unfortunate as I loved the car. Did not buy for turbo lag being over the borderline dangerous/unpredictable.
A Was that the lower powered Diesel?
How does the handling compare to the cx-5?
I drove the larger version in the US, considering it’s longer size it handled amazing especially on corners.
@@jross9800 but he wants a comparison with the cx-5
615 litres when the rear seats are up is a bit misleading. That 615 litres is for the rear seats being up AND slid all the way forward.
Nice car but not sure about long term reliability. Also the atrocious customer service from the Dealers is a big turn off.
Edgar deserves more time in front of the camera. More cameos for him in future vids?
Too bad all thlse stuff he mentioned that come in standard isn't true for Europen market...
I know.. My new Tiguan Rline should come in 30 days
My wife's £44k 2017 Tiguan 190ps 4 Motion R-Line has a horrendous metallic grating noise emanating from the drive train, which has been evident from new.
After lengthy investigations lasting several weeks both VW and the selling dealer have described the aforementioned ‘noise’ a ‘characteristic’ and ‘normal DSG operation noise’ However are refusing to declare why the noise is evident on some cars but not others and also which component the noise is emanating from!......something to hide?..... seriously not Volkswagen surely?!!!
I have during the past 8 years spent in excess of £250,00 on VAG products so you could guess that I am a valuable customer?....LOYALTY counts for NOTHING with VW!....when they have your money they are simply not interested!!
Unfortunately and due to VW’s reluctance to resolve my wife’s concerns with her Tiguan I have been left with no alternative but to appoint a independent DEKRA automotive engineer who has contrary to VW and the selling dealers opinion of the noise being ‘normal operation’ and a ‘characteristic’ has concluded there is a terminal drivetrain defect!
I have test driven 4 Tiguan's for comparison purposes and out of 4, three exhibited varying degrees of noise so there is no consistency but apparently quite a few cars affected, some customers have contacted me from as far a field as Australia and Iceland!
I have uploaded a video to you tube so have a listen see if you think it is acceptable!.........ruclips.net/video/O96j_x9M3fk/видео.html
666DW same thing happened when my tsi engine was using oil if was normal until at 90k they told me my engine needs repair!!!
Tiguan R-Line is £34k not £44k
How does someone spend £250,000 on VW in 8 years. Are you buying 2 new VW's every 2 years?
What's the differences between R line and SEL ?
SFA
Why doesn't the American version look this good?
but the front is also different it doesn't look like the same car at all...or maybe i'm looking at the wrong trims?
Yes, this is an R-Line.
@@aikidoboynj First of all if you don't have the top trim level, i.e. the SEL Premium in US or equivalently the Highline in Canada, which is the only trim level with LED headlights, then it looks quite different from the top trim already. Second, if it is not the R-Line version then the front bumper looks different, also over the sides, the lower parts would be black plastic for non-R-Line version, instead of the ones on R-Line which are painted with the same color as the car itself. Lastly the North American Tiguans are long wheel base version, which means they look less sporty.
@@wocaomade yeah i see...well that really blows, cause this version looks awesome.
aikidoboynj totally agree, it seems VW just don’t care about NA market anymore
I just got the new Tiguan 1.4 TSI DSG comfortline over a month ago. the ErgoActive seat it a nightmare 14 way to get so un comfort that make one wonder how can they miss the design so bad. you seat on a very thin padding that don't block the hard metal frame of the seal bottom. After 5 minutes of drive you start to feel pain in the legs due to the stiffness of the seat. you cannot drive more then 30-45 minutes without getting out of the car for a refreshing rest. I am so disappointed by this car. I will not buy VW or its group NEVER AGAIN
Hagai Huminer
Sounds like you didn't test drive it, for more than 5 minutes.
Anyone else see the IBIS???
The tip chook cameo! Colour coordinated with the Tiguan. RB
is it available in malaysia?
In Malaysia? Nah!!! Only the rickshaw version :;)
you forgot to put Edgar in the pram...
I know! Every time I watch it I notice it. Good spot! Thanks Richard Berry
2.0 TDI with 150bhp is also ok
Best part of the video was seeing he's a Radiohead fan😎
The north american Tiguan is dynamically pretty far from a small SUV GTI - which really sucks.
*sigh*
If only they offered this engine in Canada.
This and the VW touareg kind of look the same
Every VW kind of look the same.
@@Lucky8s yes for example the VW UP and VW Amarok
Careful about the storm-trooper references when talking about German cars ! Other than that this looks a super package .
How many trees does this VW kill?
All of them hopefully 🤷♂️
Public littering is not an offence in OZ. LOL
Your kid should still be in i seat facing backwards.... a accident in that childseat will crack his neck!
Menghini all planned brother
Anything is good except the price. When u spend that money, better to get Audi q3
穗邓 Q3 is in a smaller class. this would be Q5 size and then the Audi would be 20k more
邓 You can always put the Audi logo on the wheels then you get your ego, wanna be and self recognition needs beefed up for a lower price.
穗邓
The Q3 would be worse - less features, looks gay.
Oggy Oggy Gay car? ...Nah!!! Well, perhaps only when you are getting off. I'd suggest get tinted windows and most of all, don't be loud - be less conspicuous.
Uhhh no
Yea, nice to drive, but with VW Group's questional reliability I'd be looking elsewhere.
monca01 Hell no. Chrysler are even worse than VW. JD Power and consumer reports in the US are useful sites for reliability rating if ur interested in unbiased data.
Grant Bigham excuse me u can't really say VW group, when talking about a certain car brand in the group. VW to be precise is the one with questionable reliability , cause Audi tops the list of the most reliable cars and it's a VW group car brand
Tansie Takwi yep Audi have improved, although the running gear is largely the same as VW. However my son in law's two year old Q7 has been back to the dealer 5 times in the last 12 months. Three times to fix an oil leak which required engine and gearbox separation. The last time it sat in the shop for two weeks waiting on parts. At least the dealership has been helpful.
Grant Bigham I understand, but looking at the stats of consumer report of all the various audi models, 85% were recommended now that tops the 75% of Lexus, Toyota
But here in Europe has a little problem now. It's called Peugeot 3008.
My new favourite in this class.
No 4-wheel drive at Peugeot except on the hybrid version. They do not play in the same category.
The only thing that it really doesn't have is long term reliability.
and probably drives a cellica to work
Care to share the problems you are having with your Tiguan then? Thats if you actually own one!
SOME POOR EDITING!
