You’ll like the Tiguan if you dislike brute SUVs
Verdict – While we cannot deny the fact that the Tiguan is priced very optimistically, we also feel that it is a well-engineered car that feels great to drive and offers a lot of features, loads of space and good comfort. It looks and feels premium but has some flaws which might be an issue for someone looking to buy a full-fledged SUV. If you want a niche product and want to enjoy every moment of ownership, the Tiguan is a good bet for you. But if you’re looking for things like road presence, 7 seats, off-road capabilities, then you might have to look elsewhere.
