You are one of the best car reviewer out there. You are not just giving pure information you are educating and explaining as well, like drag coefficient and air in the back of the car which is pulling car, amazing info.
Actually have one with the touchbuttons on the steering wheel and while it’s not as good as a normal button it is definitely usable. Took me like 2 days to get used to it…
Worldwide Tiguan future sales logic is as follows, it is complicated: Tiguan for EU (5-seater), built in Wolfsburg, Germany. Tayron for EU (7-seater), built in Wolfsburg. Tayron for China (5-seater), built in China. Tiguan for US (5-seater) is basically a modified Tayron without additional seats and built in Mexico. We are keeping u updated and will also present the US Tiguan as soon as possible.
I waited 2 months for this video test! I ordered a new Tiguan in December (without a test drive) and wanted to know how the DCC Pro would react. Apparently it was a good choice to include this in the options list. Thanks for this clear test Thomas!
I super happy that they are bringing the normal buttons back! That’s a good sign, it might set a trend in a good way. As for the rest of the interior, I find that huge screen way too big and in your face, kind of unnecessary tbh. Thank you for the review!
Thomas is absolutely the best car reviewer out there. This is the absolute best review of the new Tiguan. Super informative. We were scheduled to replace wifey’s 2014 BMW X3 in late summer when the 2025’s come out. We were looking only at the Honda CRV, but now the 2025 VW Tiguan looks most promising. Design and engineering of the new Tiguan looks awesome. I had a VW ID4 on order. But when it arrived the design and software was awful so I rejected it after waiting 6 months. I am glad that VW returned to its traditional , well executed design rather than rounded lumpy awful aesthetic of the ID4. Kudos to VW. Is the new Passat coming back to the US? I hope so.
16:40 To be more precise, the box I touch is the fuel tank that has been moved there in the PHEV version, and underneath that box is the high voltage battery
Hopefully we will see this in future...Mr. Blume changed the Designer and ID2 is the first car/EV again looking like a VW...and Golf 9 will be a pure electric car, too.
I am a bit irritated when only gully spec cars are given to review. When most people can only afford the lower or middle spec cars. What we see here is a dream.
Does it still come with the neat USB at the rear view mirror for a dashcam plug? I found that a really useful touch. We all need dashcams for manufactures that don't offer them from the factory. One in the rear would be even better. While I'm at it, a clip and port for an iPad on the rear of the front seats. I'd happily pay for those options, just to keep the kids entertained on those long road trip without having to hold the cell phone for hours. Lighted emblem is a gimmick but I wouldn't mind it if there was an on/off toggle. I like it better with the name to the side rear panel rather than the middle. I glad to hear the larger infotainment screen is an option. The 15" is way too big and not esthetic at all. Other than that. the interior is greatly improved. Save the hard plastic at the rear sill. @2:26 A portmanteau.
What do you prefer, smooth plastic over hard plastic, thats great🤔 no! Only more garbage! High quality materials make sense in the area where you touch! The tiguan is considered one of the most durable and reliable SUV in Europe, that is quality!
Tbh miles more expensive Mercedes and BMW vehicles have the same. No one even cares about that, you never touch that part. Only see it in a review and forget about it.
happy to see vw go back to buttons on the steering wheel, now if only they ditched the crappy shinny plastic it would be amazing, and seeing the latest id7 center console they sure know how to use other materials rather than shinny plastic
@@vadimsportactually it’s perfect. Much Better than searching through different menus just for climate while driving. Turning a knob is always easier and safer.
Thank you Autogefujl for your best videos! I followed you a long time. I like to see new Tiguan stay close to ID.4! This will be interesting in details. About Plug-in Hybrid version my dealer Moller auto said that need to service oil change more often in 15000km. Thanks to you ! Wish you new best videos like always
I've been waiting this from quite some time, thanks Thomas for an excellent review ) For me being an owner of previous Tiguan 2023, I would say that I like the front of the previous generation more than this one )
Hey, it's really good review with lots of details! Can I ask you to include more details on the PHEV driving. You did good including the information on driving EV only. But can you tell us about the sport mode. Can you drive in manual? Can you rev the engine hard and then change to the next gear? Can you down shift manually and accelerate? Basically can you drive it like a petrol car on the track? A PHEV is a good car for someone home charging and mostly short drives, but it is important that 1 it can drive in EV only without jumping to ICE. 2 it can drive relatively efficiently on longer drives, with regen etc.. 3 it can be driven hard, preferably with manual gear control when you want to and have some fun roads. Many thanks 👍
I personally don't agree. I like this way more. But maybe its because the mk2 is driven by old man or woman alot here in germany. And this looks really different, so it does not remind me that much of old people.
As the owner of MK2 pre facelift, I have ordered MK3. The interior is much better than MK2 material and option wise, also the physical buttons on the steering wheel are back. The mk2 facelifted climate controls are more or less the same, easy to access touch buttons with backlight. The only questionable thing for me is the gear selector placement and less control over the wipers because of this. I like the exterior of new R-line with black style package, looks fresh and distinct enough from the other car brands.
Looks very nice and modern. Love the physical buttons. One thing I don't like is that climatronic is not present, and you have to go through the central screen. IDK why so many manufactures do this. That only leaves dirty screens and it is a pain.
@japanwatchconnection i mess with the temperature and inner circulation button quite a lot in my car, depending on what roads im driving, how heavy is the traffic, if my car is doing a cold start and how i am dressed.
@@ptingz9307 tell me you didn’t drive Japanese car in last 3 years without telling me. Toyota and Lexus infotainment is awesome. Mazda has the best infotainment in cars, period.
Good review, but I'm a little tired of hearing about the animal free interiors. I have a 2017 Passat with about 65k miles and the leatherette seats are coming apart.
Looking forward to it! 😎@autogefuehl We're buying a passat r-line shortly and hoping to get some insight in the DCC, whether it is a must have or not 🤔 If i'm not mistaken all press cars up untill now have all been with DCC Pro.. (nice one VW 😋)
There are a few things I want to point out that I would really like to see in cars again but first idk what vw is doing with theirs designs right now. The id2all looks again really classic vw but they seem now to go more and more in this ev look directions with a design that was clearly only made for the id3. And it is kinda sad that we need to point out felt in the doors with cars at these prices (looking at you 5er bmw). A thing that also made me curious after your materials video I would really want to see more higher trim premium fabric seats. Like cord and such. Like the Japanese used to do. Microfiber is cool and all but why not more options? 😅😅 nevertheless enjoyable video as always👍
Great video! I always get excited when I see a new upload. Has there ever been a car door closing sound that has been amazing (apart from G-wagon). Because you said ‘good’ but not amazing so I’m curious what cars have a super premium door closing sound

31:35 high battery buffer keeps the battery degradation lower. I don’t know any PHEV which allows user to choose the level of charging so most of cars are charged to 100%. Which degrades the battery significantly. So it’s clever idea to use 80% of the battery and keep it healthy for years.
Thanks for your reply. Theres , natch , elegance , r line. I want the pan roof as well. Also there is another contender the cx 5 homura. Just want a comfortable car for my family. Something I can look at and say yes that’s a good car. 🫢
i need the TIGUAN R released yesterday..i dont understand why the new model comes along yet the halo model isnt even revealed or shown to be even in development.
Logic is as follows, it is complicated: Tiguan for EU (5-seater), built in Wolfsburg, Germany. Tayron for EU (7-seater), built in Wolfsburg. Tayron for China (5-seater), built in China. Tiguan for US (5-seater) is basically a modified Tayron without additional seats and built in Mexico. We are keeping u updated and will also present the US Tiguan as soon as possible.
Let’s be honest, they also made it $3500 to be a status symbol. They did the same with the AirPod max when compared to other headphones in their class.
I have the same car as you and like the design better.. wish it had a little more horsepower though. I do like the inside a little better of the 2024 except for the giant TV .. lol.. why it can't be integrated into the dash!?
Not sure about the gloss black wheel arches. I own a 2018 Tiguan R-line and I honesty wouldn’t change a thing on the exterior. I almost like the elegance over the R-line in the new model.
Hi! Love the video. is it certain or confirmed that this Tiguan will have an illuminated VW emblem? I don't think that will happen anymore. It would be cool! 01:36
The interior design is OK I guess. But it seems like they are trying too hard to look high tech, comes across as cheesey not well thought out. That 15 inch screen is flat out ridiculous…hard stop for me. I’d also rather see a traditional gear changing mechanism. The centre rear seat cup mechanism is horrible and will be hugely unpopular. Overall, I fail the interior design of this car. R-Line? I hate the way it looks: The high gloss black and the gaping maw of a front grill looks bad. On the other hand, the Elegant looks great. My main issue? It looks like a Toyota or Kia. This doesn’t look like a VW.
I have to replace my Golf 8 later this year and want to go for a 320i then. But this car seems awesome for long distance driving and looks great also. So I might stick with VW 👀 really excited for the 2.0 TSI tho
Thanks for the excellent review, Thomas, however I must say I am disappointed with the roundish design of the recent VW models that follows the Japanese and Korean competition and doesn't feel typical VW any more... I personally prefer the straight lines of the previous model.
I am glad that vw reverting back from path golf8 went but it is still not as user friendly as usually vws were. At the moment I got a feeling that korean brands are more like vw clients like it to be.
I have not found very good information on the PHEV powertrain specs, but it looks like power outputs are (petrol+electric=total) 150+54=204hp and 177+95=272hp. I would expect the difference in electric power (54 vs. 95) to have a significant impact on pure electric use. Then again, some source say the difference is only the electric motor power, but that seems unlikely. Are you able to clarify, or at least tell which you tested?
it's really expensive unfortunately for what's offering.. In my country(Romania), a mild hybrid it's sold for 42k euro which it's really a huge price... I think the PHEV will be way over 55k which it's a shame, with this money you can go for a GLC. Also, the waiting time of 9months+ it's really a shame.
Nö, Klavierlack ist nicht günstig...Das Spritzgusswerkzeug muss hochglanz poliert sein und ein spezieller Kunststoff muss für den Glanz verwendet werden. Ich mag es auch nicht, wegen den Fingerabdrücken, aber es ginge billiger.
Klavierlack ist neben Chromoptik vermutlich die kostengünstigste Art, etwas "hochwertiger" erscheinen zu lassen. Die Chromleisten bei der nicht Blackstyle Variante ist auch ein Graus...
@@cen121 Also wie gesagt bei mir löst es das Gegenteil aus. Die Oberflächen weisen auch sehr schnell Kratzer auf. Am Ende ist das einfach eine Frage der Statistik und ob meine Meinung repräsentativ ist oder nicht. Und das scheint sie für Hersteller nicht zu sein.
I feel like the new Tiguan interior design wise is like a bunch of puzzles that don't fit, the previous gen steering wheel was obviously to cater to the backlash of touch controls(rightly so) mixed with mainly touch centre console. Also relocating the gear lever to simplify, great idea, but why plonk a button right in the middle instead? Why not have a clean centre console with maybe clever storage options? Like a place to keep a small laptop or folders? VW used to be leading edge for ergonomics. Feel like this is a rushed job, which is a big risk for one of their major sellers.
Looking forward to the upcoming PHEV Tiguan with the 50 mile ev range. Hopefully Volkswagen will allow a "camping mode" for owners to be able to use the climate controls (air conditioning/heat) while car camping in the Tiguan-- so that we enjoy battery powered AC/heat while camping! Please do this VW🎉🎉🎉
I don't understand why VW uses hard plastics in the backseats at this price point, especially considering the CX5 and RAV4 are cheaper and use soft touch and even stitching.
I hate the fact that manufactures are adding unnecessary gimmicks and tech and making the cars unnecessarily more complicated and super expensive! That volume knob being a round screen can cost a lot when broken !

“Sorry for that spontaneous burst of rage” It’s ok, man.
I love hearing the gear changing while in electric mode, sounds cool

Great video as always, looking forward to see that peugeot 3008 review.
yes working on it as we speak!
Will also be super interesting !
Great video! I always get excited when I see a new upload. Has there ever been a car door closing sound that has been amazing (apart from G-wagon). Because you said ‘good’ but not amazing so I’m curious what cars have a super premium door closing sound
cheers m8 !
Really like recent VWs both electric or fossil.
Looking forward Lancia Ypsilon review
it's so cute how thomas is flustered more often when his sweetie lea....😻

31:35 high battery buffer keeps the battery degradation lower. I don’t know any PHEV which allows user to choose the level of charging so most of cars are charged to 100%. Which degrades the battery significantly. So it’s clever idea to use 80% of the battery and keep it healthy for years.
Real buttons back on the steering wheel, finally!
Watching from Ireland
The aerodynamic shape looks a bit like that of the Audi Q4.
I cant learn to like the Taigo style lights on the back
"Not now honey... a new Autogefühl video just dropped"
Great video. Thank you. I’m unsure if to go for the elegance or the r line trim . Please help 😊.
Thanks! Mid trim will also be just fine. Dont buy animal skin seats so u ll have better comfort and care about the animals 🙏
Thanks for your reply. Theres , natch , elegance , r line. I want the pan roof as well. Also there is another contender the cx 5 homura. Just want a comfortable car for my family. Something I can look at and say yes that’s a good car. 🫢
I usually don't like red cars, but man....the R Line looks so cool in red.
Hallo Thomas, Any chance of a detailed / driving review of the new Skoda Superb anytime soon? 🙂
Yes! On it!
i need the TIGUAN R released yesterday..i dont understand why the new model comes along yet the halo model isnt even revealed or shown to be even in development.
There sadly wont be any Tiguan R my friend
Best looking car in this segment. One I would even consider buying, if it wasn’t for the frequent scandals VW is involved with
Please elaborate
Is this for the American market or European?
Logic is as follows, it is complicated:
Tiguan for EU (5-seater), built in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Tayron for EU (7-seater), built in Wolfsburg.
Tayron for China (5-seater), built in China.
Tiguan for US (5-seater) is basically a modified Tayron without additional seats and built in Mexico.
We are keeping u updated and will also present the US Tiguan as soon as possible.
Let’s be honest, they also made it $3500 to be a status symbol. They did the same with the AirPod max when compared to other headphones in their class.
Thanks again for sharing
I think my 2022 Tiguan R-Line Black is a WAY better design, it's a sexy car. This new one looks so boring.
I prefer the pre-facelift as well. This one looks as if it's designed by Toyota.
Me too. The general external design is a step back and just looks like all the other id cars.
So true other one looks like proper suv
I have the same car as you and like the design better.. wish it had a little more horsepower though. I do like the inside a little better of the 2024 except for the giant TV .. lol.. why it can't be integrated into the dash!?
It looks great. Probably get a water down version here in America if we even get it here at all
Not sure about the gloss black wheel arches. I own a 2018 Tiguan R-line and I honesty wouldn’t change a thing on the exterior. I almost like the elegance over the R-line in the new model.
great review
🙏🙏
Hi! Love the video. is it certain or confirmed that this Tiguan will have an illuminated VW emblem? I don't think that will happen anymore. It would be cool! 01:36
supposed to come at a later stage !
The interior design is OK I guess. But it seems like they are trying too hard to look high tech, comes across as cheesey not well thought out. That 15 inch screen is flat out ridiculous…hard stop for me. I’d also rather see a traditional gear changing mechanism. The centre rear seat cup mechanism is horrible and will be hugely unpopular. Overall, I fail the interior design of this car.
R-Line? I hate the way it looks: The high gloss black and the gaping maw of a front grill looks bad. On the other hand, the Elegant looks great.
My main issue? It looks like a Toyota or Kia. This doesn’t look like a VW.
„Hey Aldär!“ Endlich kann der Assistent auch Jugendsprache 😂
Yes, bring back all them buttons, knobs! Get rid of shiny glossy piano black inlays, and here we go, back to the good old 2010s VW interiors
Every night an autogefuehl for mental health
I have to replace my Golf 8 later this year and want to go for a 320i then. But this car seems awesome for long distance driving and looks great also. So I might stick with VW 👀 really excited for the 2.0 TSI tho
Thanks for the excellent review, Thomas, however I must say I am disappointed with the roundish design of the recent VW models that follows the Japanese and Korean competition and doesn't feel typical VW any more... I personally prefer the straight lines of the previous model.
2:10 very important moment
Animals symbols or …. The other reason to look at 2:10 😍
I am glad that vw reverting back from path golf8 went but it is still not as user friendly as usually vws were. At the moment I got a feeling that korean brands are more like vw clients like it to be.
Which of the PHEV was used in the test drive, 204 or 272hp?
I have not found very good information on the PHEV powertrain specs, but it looks like power outputs are (petrol+electric=total) 150+54=204hp and 177+95=272hp. I would expect the difference in electric power (54 vs. 95) to have a significant impact on pure electric use.
Then again, some source say the difference is only the electric motor power, but that seems unlikely.
Are you able to clarify, or at least tell which you tested?
it's really expensive unfortunately for what's offering.. In my country(Romania), a mild hybrid it's sold for 42k euro which it's really a huge price... I think the PHEV will be way over 55k which it's a shame, with this money you can go for a GLC. Also, the waiting time of 9months+ it's really a shame.
Looking forward to the first review by Lea from Autogefüll 😇.
16:45 That's not the HV battery, that's the gas tank. The battery is located under the back seat
Yes correct, they moved the tank to that position due to the battery
Die Klavierlack-Optik löst bei mir den Eindruck aus, dass hier die günstigsten Materialien im Innenraum verarbeitet wurden.
Nö, Klavierlack ist nicht günstig...Das Spritzgusswerkzeug muss hochglanz poliert sein und ein spezieller Kunststoff muss für den Glanz verwendet werden.
Ich mag es auch nicht, wegen den Fingerabdrücken, aber es ginge billiger.
yep, ich kapiere es auch net. Kenne wenige, die Klavierlack toll finden, aber alle Hersteller meinen es ist cool
Klavierlack ist neben Chromoptik vermutlich die kostengünstigste Art, etwas "hochwertiger" erscheinen zu lassen. Die Chromleisten bei der nicht Blackstyle Variante ist auch ein Graus...
@@cen121 Also wie gesagt bei mir löst es das Gegenteil aus. Die Oberflächen weisen auch sehr schnell Kratzer auf. Am Ende ist das einfach eine Frage der Statistik und ob meine Meinung repräsentativ ist oder nicht. Und das scheint sie für Hersteller nicht zu sein.
Tiguan, X1, Q3, GLA, XC40? Which one would u pick? And why?
some helpful episodes:

I would choose Tiguan. Is compact enough but the best space inside, most cheaper especially in the summer, powerful enough, good consumption.
I feel like the new Tiguan interior design wise is like a bunch of puzzles that don't fit, the previous gen steering wheel was obviously to cater to the backlash of touch controls(rightly so) mixed with mainly touch centre console. Also relocating the gear lever to simplify, great idea, but why plonk a button right in the middle instead? Why not have a clean centre console with maybe clever storage options? Like a place to keep a small laptop or folders? VW used to be leading edge for ergonomics. Feel like this is a rushed job, which is a big risk for one of their major sellers.
Looking forward to the upcoming PHEV Tiguan with the 50 mile ev range.
Hopefully Volkswagen will allow a "camping mode" for owners to be able to use the climate controls (air conditioning/heat) while car camping in the Tiguan-- so that we enjoy battery powered AC/heat while camping! Please do this VW🎉🎉🎉
PHEV driving part is also in this video :)
@@autogefuehl thank you! Is there a camping mode or setting that allows owners to use the air conditioning or heat while sleeping in the car? Thanks!
Thanks for the review! Is there going to be Tiguan R for this gen?
Damn. Every car nowadays looks the same! Cold, soulless and boring. And the obsession with those straight lines…
I don't understand why VW uses hard plastics in the backseats at this price point, especially considering the CX5 and RAV4 are cheaper and use soft touch and even stitching.
I like these so much! Can I trust reliability? Or should I just lease it?
I hate the fact that manufactures are adding unnecessary gimmicks and tech and making the cars unnecessarily more complicated and super expensive!
That volume knob being a round screen can cost a lot when broken !
Just ordered one
