About 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan


3.8

Overall Rating

Coming in both a 5 seater as well as a 7 seater configuration, this popular VW suv has an option for every consumer need. This is further reinforced by the sheer volume of features it offers increasing to its usability

After a major refresh in 2018 for its second-generation, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan hits the stores with no major changes. You still get the same elegant and premium appeal along with some good practicality too.

The second-gen Volkswagen Tiguan is surely one of the better presented compact-SUVs out there and one which is rich in features as well. For 2019, the Tiguan adds an alarm system on the "SE" while digital gauge cluster and parking sensors are now standard on the "SEL ''. Everything else remains all too familiar. 

The SEL trim offers a lot of convenience features for its price and would suit most people. The SEL model has a good blend of safety, driver-assistance and creature comforts that one would need on a daily basis. For People wanting a tech-laden SUV, the SEL Premium trim will fit the bill well.

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Review


Pros

  • Practical Interior Layout
  • Quality fit and finish
  • Plenty of available features
  • Good mix of comfort and athleticism

Cons

  • Powertrain lacks punch
  • Subpar fuel economy

Coming in both a 5 seater as well as a 7 seater configuration, this popular VW suv has an option for every consumer need. This is further reinforced by the sheer volume of features it offers increasing to its usability

Overview


After a major refresh in 2018 for its second-generation, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan hits the stores with no major changes. You still get the same elegant and premium appeal along with some good practicality too.

The second-gen Volkswagen Tiguan is surely one of the better presented compact-SUVs out there and one which is rich in features as well. For 2019, the Tiguan adds an alarm system on the "SE" while digital gauge cluster and parking sensors are now standard on the "SEL ''. Everything else remains all too familiar. 

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


Volkswagen has made some small changes in the trim-structure of the 2019 Tiguan. The Optional R-Line trim makes its way into the 2019 as a separate trim. Customers have an option to choose among the 6 trims depending on whether they want an AWD setup or a front wheel drive setup. The feature-list though remains very familiar with the advancement of premium tech and safety features, up the trim ladder. Pricing for the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan starts at $24,295 for the base "S'' and climbs all the way up to $38,895 for the fully-loaded SEL-Premium R-Line.

Trim to Choose

Engine and Performance
5.9/10


Since its facelift in 2018, the Volkswagen Tiguan has persisted with its famed 2.0-liter turbo inline-4 which makes 184hp and 221 ft-lbs of torque. The engine is refined, smooth and has ample power to get things going all day without any hassle. While the engine has a good thump in the mid-range, down the lower rpm range, the engine does seem to struggle a bit. 

Apart from the sluggish low-end power delivery, the engine does seem strong and confident at highway speeds. Transmission duties are performed by an 8-speed Tiptronic Automatic which is smooth and its shifts with good precision as well. However, at times, the turbo-lag from the engine does seem to make it a bit hesitant.

The Tiguan’s TSI motor generates class leading torque while the power figure ranks among the best in the segment. We particularly like the 4Motion AWD technology offered in the Tiguan that arms it with more grip and confidence to tackle some rough patches. However, do remember that the Tiguan is not a Land Rover Discovery for sure. A bit more power on tap with the AWD though could have made the Tiguan more enjoyable nonetheless.

Acceleration

No fireworks here and the Tiguan's 185 hp motor has a rather humble output. 0-60 MPH comes up in humble 8.2 seconds which is almost the class-average. As with the case of any turbocharged motor in the world, the Volkswagen Tiguan isn't the fastest to take off the line. In fact, the Tiguan struggles a bit more compared to similar turbo-powered cars to get in the swing. 

The turbocharger unit in the Tiguan starts providing its boost once the motor revs past 1600 rpm before which it offers a significant turbo-lag. Secondly, the Tiguan's weight doesn't make the SUV feel agile or eager to respond to any throttle inputs as quickly as one would expect from an SUV of this class.

When pitched against its rivals though, the Tiguan's 0-60 acceleration time does not seem bad at all. Surprisingly, while all the rivals here have almost similar power figures, that's not the case with their sprinting times. The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan in that regard is second only to the Honda CR-V's class-leading 7.7 seconds. 

Ride and Handling

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is as comfortable and elegant on the move, as it looks. The ride is smooth and supple and the suspension negotiates road undulations very well. However, interaction with larger obstacles do get broadcast inside the cabin. On most occasions though road noise and vibrations inside the cabin are very well controlled. 

While the Tiguan remains poised and planted on straight patches it does exhibit some body movement around cornering. However, the available 4Motion AWD system does keep a good control on that too with enhanced grip and traction. The steering wheel is a bit on the lighter side and though it's not very direct it offers good precision for quick maneuvers. 

Braking

For its size and class, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan gets a confident set of brakes. It comes standard with 4-wheel ABS and Automatic Emergency Braking as standard. The brake pedal feels firm and solid and also has a good bite into it. Getting used to the brakes won't take much time. 

 

Hit the pedal harder on emergency situations and the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan stops from 60-0 mph in just 124 feet. However, on harder applications, you will notice some visible nose-dives. No great surprises there since most of the cars in this segment owing to their size, show similar traits.

From behind the wheels, the 2019 Tiguan does seem to be an efficient stopper, but that's not exactly the case here. Despite a set of comparatively shorter brakes, the Honda CR-V is the best stopper among the pack here with a 60-0 stopping distance of just 115 feet. 

Interior
8.0/10


The cabin inside the Volkswagen Tiguan has to rank among the best in class in terms of the presentation and finishing. The cabin feels roomy enough and the cabin design feels upscale and sporty. The interior layout is mostly black but you do get some gloss black inserts around the infotainment display and steering. The door-panels and the gear-selector also get a brushed-aluminium finish for a contrasting experience. While the  base models are mostly platicky, the higher trims do get soft materials around the cabin.

Also the build quality seems sturdy with all buttons properly placed with no signs of inconsistencies or panel gaps. As standard on the base model, you get cloth upholstery and manual front seat adjustments but the higher SE and SEL trims do unlock heated front seats with simulated leather upholstery. The SEL Premium also unlocks full leather upholstery. The front seats are wide and supportive with a good height and thick bolstering. Even the rear bench is wode enough to fit three adults with good comfort over long journeys.

Exterior
8.3/10


On the outside, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan carries forward its distinctive European styling. The exterior design of the Tiguan won't win any fashion contests or style awards but it has that understated premiumness in the way it looks. That being said, the Tiguan does look handsome from all angles with its precise Lines and well put together body.

At the front, the 2019 Tiguan gets its familiar triple-chrome slot VW grille flanked by slim LED headlights with LED DRLs. The brushed metallic accent on the front fender and the deeply-sculpted hood-lines do add some character into it though. A bold shoulder-line running from the front-wheel arch to the rear highlights its length while the chrome window-line adds that European elegance into its profile.

Competition

Volkswagen Tiguan vs Honda CR-V

There is no denying the Fact that the Honda CR-V is one of the best SUVs in the segment. It flaunts an easy to understand infotainment system and best in class storage space. The CR V additionally has a rich lodge that offers two lines of seating and has enough space to oblige grown-ups. the CR-V is efficient, quick, offers good comfort and is also better to drive than the Volkswagen here. However, the Tiguan however is big on torque and the 4Motion AWD makes it a better proposition on the road less taken.

Volkswagen Tiguan vs Mazda CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 is one of the most Sportiest SUVs in the segment. The Mazda offers one of the best 2nd row seating arrangements in the class as well. When it comes off-road ability, both the SUVs are nearly matched and have potent 4WD systems. The Volkswagen Tiguan scores high on the infotainment System it has on offer and offers the added ability of Carrying 7 people on board. However, the Mazda CX-5 is more premium, comfortable, efficient and importantly more fun to drive than the Tiguan. 

Volkswagen Tiguan vs Chevrolet Equinox

The Chevrolet Equinox is the American answer to what is essentially a market dominated by European, Korean and Japanese SUVs. The Equinox offers good fuel efficiency and way more space in the Interior for both the 1st Row and 2nd Row of passengers. The Volkswagen Tiguan has more power on tap and  also the ability to ferry 7 people. The Tiguan also feels the better built among the 2 and the 4Motion AWD system makes it the better SUV among the 2 for off-roading. Not only is the Tiguan more tech-laden, its also the more upscale and comfortable among the duo.
