I’m 6’4”/193cm (and my brothers are either side of that) so I always watch Richard’s reviews. They are always informative & entertaining. “...if your kids are as tall as me, it’s time they left home...” hahaha.
Thanks dude - I have a feeling my boss assigns me to review small cars and seven seaters sometimes just to see me try to fold myself in. Have you seen the Mini review? Cheers Richard Berry
Kodiac is just wow, and teguan is also a good machine.... if u always travel with multiple perosn along with u, go for a kodiac... but tighuan is an I20 ,SUV AMONG COMPETITORS ..ITS JUST WOW.. JUST TAKE A SPIN ONCE...AND U WOULD FEELL IN LOVE WITH IT
I've test driven both of these in New Zealand. The differences are below Tiguan Allspace Highline: -more expensive -comes with active info dashboard -I enjoyed the drive more. I felt intune with the car, especially going fast around corners -has tray tables -3rd row seats are poor, hard to get in and out, poor head room, little leg room -boot has large holes on the sides for stuff to fall down -it feels like VW just rushed this through to meet a gap in the market and the extra 2 seats were an afterthought. Skoda Kodiaq Sportline -cheaper in price -has umbrellas -has door protectors -feels like it was made to be a 7 seater -Didn't feel as secure when going fast around corners -3rd row seats can give adequate headspace and leg space, if you push forward the front row and middle row. My wife and I are both about 167cm tall and we could fit in all three rows. in short, the Tiguan Allspace drives a bit nicer and has active info dashboard, but the Kodiaq is a better 7 seater.
@@diulikadikaday strange that the Kodiaq is significantly more spacious than the Tiguan allspace...because in terms of overall length...the Tiguan is actually slightly longer.
Hi greetings from Canada, is it the same 2.0 TSI that we have here? Ours is 184hp and 221lb-ft of torque (trying to do the conversion with your numbers but I'm not sure). Thanks for the video, wish we could have the DSG in our SUV's here you lucky europeans.
VW in NA market offer the worst vehicles compared to other regions. You can't even update your sat-nav map data and the selections of options are very limited
It doesn't, not even in the front with those long turn signal LED light strips. But you can get aftermarket front headlights with sequential turn signals, sacrificing the AFS and DLA functionalities.
so the only problem we have with this car is parking wich is hell, since it is so big and here in Sweden people often has smaller sized cars it is so hard to park because the car takes up sometimes more than the parking square gave ya. the car is broader than the parking square, and it gets a bit annoying trying to find some idiot who is parked wrong and to much on the other side so we can fir our car
Jeffry Resgonia If u do regular offroading, then Fortuner. Otherwise Tiguan is awesome. Road grip, quality and steering is awesome. Body roll is well controlled than fortuner.
Fortuner is a rubbish bin on wheels. Cut the price by 50% and that's what its real worth is. It's tall though...so if you do off roading then that's the more proper choice. But other than that...that trash is 0 out of 10.
Do you mean in terms of quality? Nope, I doubt there is anything to be concerned about here. The Puebla plant in Mexico has been making Volkswagens since 1967 from Beetles to Golfs and now the Tiguan Allspace. This factory alone employs 14,000 workers and it's a massive powerhouse for the Mexican economy - they do a kickarse job. Cheers Richard
Doesn't matter where it's made, v.w. doesn't stand behind their products. There's a lot of problems with their cars, carbon build up, poor brakes and bad smells build up.
The bootspace figures on this appear totally made up to me. I've got a Passat wagon atm with 650 litres. Just went to look at one of these. They reckon this is 700? My arse it is. More like 450 - 500 tops. Very disappointing.
As much as you praise these cars the brand still has the corrupt stigma, poor resale value and expensive servicing. They are freat new but there are not too many 10 year old Tiguans on the road too. They have a long way to go to build quality that lasts.
I found the bottle compartment and pockets too small to what I am used to from family suvs in the market and the food/activity tables on the back of the seats a bit corny and useless. Drive wise it feels good on the road but my experience with be is this feeling doesn't last the full 3 years. The resale is not good on these cars. Other suvs in the market hold their value a lot better.
@@valuerjtp7 , thanks for your comments on the tray tables. Were they strong enough to eat from? e.g. if you had a packet of sushi or a combo from mcdonalds? my family is always eating on the go.

I see more and more of these on the road. Love the look of this car.
Huge, cheap, great looking. Whats not to like
Hello from Canada. Australian English is not as bad as they say
Good Camera working!!! Good review
Can we please get a comparison video between tiguan and Kodiaq ?
That would be good. Richard Berry
Kodiac is just wow, and teguan is also a good machine.... if u always travel with multiple perosn along with u, go for a kodiac... but tighuan is an I20 ,SUV AMONG COMPETITORS

Great review as usual thanks Richard. Where did you film this? Looks like NSW South Coast? I'm curious as to which golf course that is!
Thanks mate. It was filmed at the RACV Cape Schanck Resort Golf Course in Victoria - amazing scenery down there. Richard Berry
Ah, the NSW number plate fooled me. I'll definitely have to take a trip down there.
Great review-very helpful
Love your reviews!
Hown good is the DSG gearbox??
Great plug to your more detailed review, on the carsguide.com.au website ;)
Thanks Nes Suno, Richard Berry
Many mechanical problems with these?
Hi greetings from Canada, is it the same 2.0 TSI that we have here? Ours is 184hp and 221lb-ft of torque (trying to do the conversion with your numbers but I'm not sure). Thanks for the video, wish we could have the DSG in our SUV's here you lucky europeans.
Were not European, were in Australia lol
@@Simon-mc3sq you lucky Australians then ;). Sorry.
VW in NA market offer the worst vehicles compared to other regions. You can't even update your sat-nav map data and the selections of options are very limited
Asking for a friend.. does this car have rear indicator sequential lights? If anyone has any idea, it would be much appreciated
Pretty sure it just flashes like any other car.
It doesn't, not even in the front with those long turn signal LED light strips. But you can get aftermarket front headlights with sequential turn signals, sacrificing the AFS and DLA functionalities.
I doesn't but you can buy obdeleven to program it to have sequential indicators. It has the hardware but its disabled.
new one does now with iq lights
Also gets the upgraded DynAudio sound system standard(?), which the MY19 Tiguan is also getting....
so the only problem we have with this car is parking wich is hell, since it is so big and here in Sweden people often has smaller sized cars it is so hard to park because the car takes up sometimes more than the parking square gave ya. the car is broader than the parking square, and it gets a bit annoying trying to find some idiot who is parked wrong and to much on the other side so we can fir our car
Get the Equinox 2.0 turbo .... more HP and more torque. 252 hp. 260 torque.
I have a 2018 and it has third row seats 👀
Tiguan allspace or toyota fotuner?
Jeffry Resgonia If u do regular offroading, then Fortuner. Otherwise Tiguan is awesome. Road grip, quality and steering is awesome. Body roll is well controlled than fortuner.

Why do people like you trying to sit in the third row and cry for space? Didn't the manufacturer told you how to use?
Because it's sold as a 7-seater not a 5+2 (like a 2+2 coupe)
nes suno true but I don't think any ad 7 seater car shows 7 adults trying to squeeze
Vijay Chander yes, not these small/medium models anyway
nes suno yes, that's why I raised the question
Is the fact that is made in Mexico anything to be concerned by?

These aren't made in Mexico, they actually come off the assembly line in Wolfsburg Germany
I thought only the NA versions are from Mexico
Doesn't matter where it's made, v.w. doesn't stand behind their products. There's a lot of problems with their cars, carbon build up, poor brakes and bad smells build up.
@@Simon-mc3sq All Allspaces are made in Mexico. Even the ones sold in Germany. Which is why I got a normal Tiguan.

Awesome car, looks sexy with r-line
Yup - that R-Line package looks the business. Richard Berry
He is a 191 cms
191 cm = 6ft 3ins...very tall yes. Freakishly?...not sure
Pretty tall, but not freakishly. I have a mate who's 6ft 7in. Now that's freakish ; ) Cheers Richard Berry
i know a dude who is 211 long, now that's tall 190 is not to uncommon here in Sweden
In indonesia,,we got the ugliest version. They charge 4 grant for 3 years old front bumper....
5+

They build to a price like every other manufacturer these days, for a disposable society. Auf wiedersehen quality.
i love it.

That SUV is perfect for my family. I got it with 5 years waranty, quiet happy with it. And the 240hp diesel engine is just awesome.

First comment! Yeah!
Second
Third!. Do I get a bronze medal?
this guys a tweaker
I'm so sick of SUV's. I don't care how "well built" they are.
