2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R review: Is it a better Kodiaq RS or a jacked up Golf R, or both?

  • In a world where there's no such thing as too many SUVs, the Volkswagen Tiguan R raises the question of how far a mainstream brand can push the envelope.
    With Golf R genes and practical body, this might seem like the ideal family SUV for those who have a taste for performance. But with a price tag nudging $70K in Australia, it might be a bridge too far for some.
    But with no direct competition - you won't find a Toyota RAV4, Skoda Kodiaq, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Forester or any other midsize SUV with 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque - it may offer those in the market for a luxury SUV a serious contender with some change left over.
    Is the VW Tiguan R the fast SUV we’ve all been waiting for? Can it match the Golf R for personality, and does it do performance SUV better than the Skoda Kodiaq RS? Tom White spent a week in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R, plus track time at Sydney Motorsport Park. Watch the video here and read Tom's full detailed written review by hitting the link below.

    It would have been nice to answer your question. The RS Kodiaq was not mentioned once in the review and yet it would be its more natural competitor than the Audi or Porsche mentioned.

    Stupid click bait title !
    Tiguan R very different to a
    Kodiaq RS
    Kodiaq RS is bigger and heavier & 7 seater and less power
    Kodiaq has the less powerful Golf Gti motor 180 kw / 370 nm
    Tiguan R has more performance focus, and more performance v the Kodiaq RS.
    Apples to Oranges comparison.
    And there is absolutely no mention of Kodiaq RS in the review
    WTF. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @scollyutube 2 роки тому +3

    The T ROC R is the jacked up Golf.
    If the Kodiaq VRS had got the Superb's 206kw motor it would be a lot closer to this than the current diesel replacement.

      Give it a few weeks. I think journos have only been given a short period to try it and probably advised not to trash it (yet). They just arrived in Australia and I've only seen one at VW in SydneyCity getting out of the driveway but not in the showroom. We'll probably see more after Anzac and more better reviews thereafter.

  • @krane15
    @krane15 Рік тому

    Tiguan needs a decent engine cover (Hyundai Kona N has a very tasteful design). Hopefully, one that doesn't catch fire. On the good side, there's not much you can say about the dynamics, although the brakes could be a tad better. I remember when I was a kid the popular saying was, with a VW you could "stop on a dime, and get a nickle change."

    VW Tiguan is the most overhyped car. Hard plasticity interior and small cubby storage. Seats are more like a park bench, stiff and no support on the sides. Boot space is also smaller compared to its rivals. Ironically Skoda is way more luxurious and stunning to look at for its price.

      @@Alby911 you're partly right about marketing, most top brands have their own version of high performance model in their line-up. Merc A45/gla45, Audi S3/SQ2, BMW M135i/X2M35i then you have VW golf R/Tiguan R but you can't compare the small hatch to an SUV in terms of dynamic. Most Tiguan R owners will probably not use this for track but there are few who will tune theirs to get even more output. There are many shops now that caters for VAG performance cars for enhancements. Just like the Suby wrx range.
