FAST 5 | 2018 VW Tiguan - The Biggest Little SUV on the Road
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2018
- The new Mark 2 Tiguan has gone through a serious growth spurt! In addition to growing 11 inches in length and 3 inches in width, the most notable change comes with the addition of third row seats. With a boxy classic SUV look and infinitely more interior space, the VW Tiguan is making some serious noise in the segment.
Top trim SEL models also come with all the goodies you would need and then some! Examples include a full safety suite lane keep assist, bling spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise, and more. This is not to mention the option 12.3 inch VW Digital Cockpit that is full customize-able and can be saved for up to three different drivers. You're going to pay for all those toys, but less than you might expect with a decked out Tiguan coming in around $36,000.
A HUGE thank you goes out to HALL Volkswagen for providing the car for this video!!!

I just bought the 2018 Tiguan in black and it’s been 3 days and also my first SUV coming from sports cars I love it!
Jay Dilla that's awesome I'm glad to hear you like your new SUV! Thanks for watching!
About the price, purchased mine this month 09/04/19. A Tiguan SE 4MOTION with Panoramic roof, got a total of $4,500 in discounts (felt like a VIP, until a week later when everybody was given $4,000 discounts). So it is a bargain, FYI my contacts at the dealer said 2020 will be less supply and discounts with Volkswagen concentrating on The rollout of the small Puebla made SUV this summer.
Interesting that you said it had a trucky feel cuz that's what I've been looking for. Good review.
bebe4235 great I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Nice review! I purchased mine, a Silver White SE with the sunroof and 4Motion, just two weeks ago. So far, I’m loving it.
Although it’s EPA rated at 27 MPG highway, I’m *averaging* 27 in mixed driving, and got 37 MPG on a 150 mile highway trip. Mind you this is on regular 87 octane fuel (premium is not required) on an engine with less than 500 miles on it, in Sport mode (transmission and vehicle dynamics), and with the annoying auto start/stop feature disabled. Not much to complain about there!
My only gripe so far - and this is something I read about before I bought the car - was the hesitation off the line at times. I honestly don’t think it’s turbo lag; to me it feels like a programming issue, as it doesn’t happen all the time. The car is simply unresponsive for a split second, making it difficult to take off smoothly and potentially scary if you’re trying to merge into traffic. It stands out as an almost unforgivable flaw only because the rest of the vehicle is so refined, and it’s really inexcusable at this price point. I’m hoping VW will address this soon.
It’s not a quick vehicle, but the drop in horsepower is more than offset by the increase in torque, so in daily driving it’s not as big an issue as the numbers would lead you to believe.
James Kuzman good insight thanks for the comment!
Yeah the delay in first gear is horrible . Bloody annoying . I'm actually taking my polo back to VW because I read it's the DSG box that "learnt" slow habits when I first got it. You have to reset the settings and drive like a maniac till it learns you
THEREALMVP that's wild!
Great video!! I’m seriously considering getting a SEL Premium R Line very soon!!
Swish 41 the R line looks fantastic 😍
Swish 41 thanks for watching!
My nabe just got one, in white of course, only color it seems to come in lol, I have to say it looks awesome in her driveway. "Compact" but not puny looking like many other small 'utes. Now, Mr Matt, please do the XC40!
Devonne West you got it!
Where's my sunroof? Never given that option!!
When does the R Line package is going to be available?
Mario Reyes hi Mario thanks for watching! The R Line was supposed to be released this spring but I have yet to see one on lots. Hold tight for a another month! R line for SEL will be about a 1500$ package and on SEL premiums it'll be another 1750$
It’s out there now, but very hard to find. My dealer had an orange one and I’ve seen a blue one.
Hey nice review, in the store for a new tiguan (new to vw) a couple of questions are they really expensive to maintain? V.s honda, toyota, nissan etc etc, and also does the tiguan require premium gas? Thanks in advance
I have a Passat currently as one of my cars. It's a bit more expensive to maintain than the Japanese cars. I switched to Infiniti because of reliability
Downshift thanks for the reply and the heads up!
No problem!
7.5 inches to the wheel base?! That is at least 5!
Greg Hohl AT LEAST 5😱😱😱😱😱😱
Trap airhorn***
Switch blade key? Not in mine. Done away w that.
Whats your opinion on VW because I never had VW, are they reliable?
Malachi Taylor good question. I have grown up with VWs and I've alawys been pretty satisfied. They're not as reliable as say a Honda or Toyota, but they're better than a Mercedes. I like VW because a lot of the time they give you nicer materials in the cabin and it feels more premium than it's competitors. Those are just my thoughts you should go drive a couple and see what you think!
ok . yeah I am not really a car person so is nice to see perspective from someone who knows this stuff.
Thanks
Malachi Taylor no problem! That's what I'm here for! Are there any other cars you're interested in or want to see videos on?
I always like reviews of Honda and Toyota but I am now more interesting other brands like VW or Ford , I rented a Ford Edge last month for road trip and I think is pretty nice inside, I try avoiding ford because of fuel but is not that bad.
Next: Artion
Jorge Rmz. Oh it's coming 😈
Downshift MKE I can't wait to drive that car!
Holy snap how tall are you? The car looks so tiny compared to you 😂
Hahaahah could just be the camera angle I suppose. I'm just 6'1" Thanks for watching!
Lame review. No walk around looking at any of the features in detail. Just watching him drive around talking about it.
Dont buy it!!! Im a current owner, the panoramic roof lighting catches fire!!! They claim due to humidity !? Humidity?? They have not made it known to the public, only current owners threw the mail. I own mine 8 months ive hade nothing but problems with my roof , now it catches fire, nice. The ambient lighting catches fire. Ask ur dealer see what he or she tells u. Im letting u no,! Its a defect. Id be happy to answer any questions u may have.
Anthony F oh my God are you serious?! That's crazy!! Everyone listen up and be careful!
Downshift yes. Im sorry i received my letter today !!! Ambient lighting fire possible.
Anthony F yikes well thanks for letting us know!
Downshift im sorry i had to but wat right is right. Lives are a stake here. Kids!!! God for bid.
Other than the catching fire part, do you like it?
