No, it's not, but a lot of people look to VW for the higher end, luxury, of the standard types of cars. Usually, with luxury, you at least get a bit of power. It's not even just the tiguan. VW has really made their engines stupid slow compared to what they used to be capable of years ago. I think thats why most people complain. I really do want them to either beef the Tiguan up or give us something like the Touareg back with some power because I honestly think that would do so well in the current market we are in.

For what this car costs, not having a more powerful engine is a sin when you look at the rest of the competition. This is a near $40k car, find me another German marquee offering a vehicle in the $40k range that's got as low HP/TQ numbers as this. You can't. If you want a simple SUV, buy an SEL; well equipped and reasonably priced (albeit boring and plain). If you're going to spec up to the R-Line at this price point, a larger power train is a must and it's a gross omission by VW to not include this. You're buying this for the performance aspect (driving dynamics in this case). It should have more power.

Congrats to the best reviewer on YT. Love how you see all the little things other reviewers just skip on, like the door shut, remote key quality etc. The main reason I bought three VWs in the past five years was the high interior quality. Really disappointing to see all the cost cuts making the VW just another brand. At the same time the asians and especially the koreans are really stepping up on the interior quality.

He's expecting things VW no longer offers after Dieselgate. In any event, VW has never been big on innovation. It doesn't want to cross streams with its luxury brands. Only under Ferdinand Piëch did that change for a moment. When VW tried to improve the quality of their cars it got terrible feedback from the automotive community. It first SUV was over-built and a dismal failure because nobody wanted to pay $50,000 for a VW Touareg.

I love how this suv looks! Coming from a golf 1.4 T I don't think this will be slower than that ! This is definitely in my list up there for handling and looks.

I got a Canadian highline 2019 last year.. interior wise basically the same, we also get the LED headlamps, interior is basically the same as the R line. Without the lowered front bumper and uses a relatively economical 18 inch wheels.. the R line is just for the looks. Quite happy with it so far for everyday driving.

VW NEEDS to offer the Tiguan with cooled front seats & heated rear seats because other competition in the segment already offer that

Great review. More power is always better.

why the hell VW still keep those three climate control knobs, it actually makes this car look like it comes from 20 years ago.

Best looking inside and out in its segment it does need more power or a hybrid would be cool.

I picked up my 2019 tiguan sel premium r-line for 34k last year. These things are always on sale at dealerships. I get a combined 26mpg on regular 87 gas. Yeah a beefier engine would be nice but if you look at the competitors suv's, the engine is around the class average. This is supposed to be a SUV for family use, not for racing. If I had a beef with the car, it would be that there is too much black in the interior. I would swap out that grey carbon fiber mesh he describes at 8:10 that is on the dash and doors with a brown wood to brighten it up a little bit and make it look classier like an Audi.

Could easily have done this and had a more harmonious look. Also, turn lights in rear of ALL vehicles should be amber/orange. Much easier to distinguish from night taillights or brake lights ...

Aesthetically this car beats every comparable crossover in its class IMO and as far as HP, I agree more would be better say around 210hp but most people don’t buy this type of vehicle for 0-60 speed or looking to haul a trailer so....

For people criticizing the low HP & lack of a DSG, remember this, VW offers a very generous American Warranty. The warranty is the best in Murica, than they offer elsewhere in the world. A highly boosted engine will cost more in LT warranty repairs and VW DSGs are noted for their reliability nightmares. The 8 Speed Auto used in the American Tiguan is an Aisin (Toyota). This means this transmission will be super-reliable. With massive Dieselgate settlements, VW cannot really afford to have high LT Warranty liability expenses.

Test drove one a couple months back. Nice clean look. That’s about it. Wife loved it. I said hell to the nah. Agree with Johnson L comment

In Australia we get the Tiguan (shorter 5 seat variant) and the Tiguan Allspace (7 seat variant similar to the US) with the same engine as a GTI 0-100kmph in 6.5 seconds

The T-roc that they sell in Europe is the GTI of the SUVs.....amazing vehicle.

i have the previous one, top of the range 155kw version i think you call it the SEL. Got the delimiter taken off and now its faster off the line than most other cars what with the R 4WD system. Im a big guy and i have zero gripes with the interior of my car size wise. Perfect fit imho

IN Australia the Tiguan comes with the 162TSI motor which is the older GTI tuned motor and also has DSG gearbox, 220 hp vs the 182hp here

You make a great point, and it really has nothing to do with expecting it to be the GTI of small/midsize SUV's..but rather simply using it for its intended purpose. Imagine it loaded with 4 people plus luggage at about 4-5k above sea level in Colorado..and thats not even climbing up a winding mountain road to reach a ski resort...just tooling around at higher elevations. Prepare to be passed by lighter cars with even less HP/TQ. Why doesnt at least the R-line Tiguan get the same 268hp version of the exact same engine in the Arteon? I can't imagine real world fuel economy suffering much if at all if they did..and it seems like the perfect tune for a machine like this.

Over here in NZ, they sell the skoda kodiaq vrs diesel, 176kw &500nm torque,. Goes rather well and is based on the same chassis as tiguan

In Europe they sell mostly short wheelbase version and the 2.0 turbo engine (which is around 230 hp in stock) can be easily and safely chip tuned to 315 hp. By saying safely I mean that the 7 double clutch wet transmission DQ500 can officially withstand 700 nm of torque (350 nm in stock engine). So, by paying around $500 for the booster chip you’ll get an SUV with proved dynamics of 5 sec 0-60. Isn’t it a GTI?

Could definitely use more power...but I'm loving the refinement of the Tiguan. Handling is very nimble for the kind of vehicle it is... The panoramic sunroof is a win. Infotainment system is a go. The Blacked out version with the white exterior IS beautiful. Also, sport mode definitely fools me into thinking the vehicle is faster than what it is, really. it was either the Tiguan or a Mustang Ecoboost. The Mustang has a lot of pep in it's step. But at the end of the day, practicality wins out. But just to reiterate your point, the Tiguan could certainly use 30-50 more horses to murder everything.

I don’t like the new VW USA strategy personally but it makes perfect sense. They tried over the years to introduce more premium versions of existing cars or models like the Touraeg, Phaeton, old Passat, etc here but time and again, Americans have shown that they don’t care about semi-premium or nice materials at higher costs. If they want that, they will go for cars with actual luxury cachet. They want inexpensive, spacious, higher riding, and smoother cars. So, what VW has to do to be successful here is pump out SUVs (and I think they need another 2 crossover to slot below the Tiguan) and the sedans and sporty cars get left behind. The Jetta makes sense but the Golf doesn’t make sense outside of the GTI and R. And I think whatever they’re doing with the Passat is pointless. It’s like they don’t care about that car at all.

I had a v-dub GTI in H.S. even received my first speeding ticket moments driving off the lot the power was unbelievable test drove this it didn't bring me back that 20+ year ago G.T.I experience

It’s slow and heavy because it’s the long wheel based version. They should of just given us the regular wheel base version and then have the CrossSport and Atlas to fill out the lineup.

I love my 2020 4motion!

We get the GTi motor in our R Line and the there’s a rumored Tiguan R coming.

My real biggest pet peeve with Volkswagen is the amount of empty buttons around the gear selector even for the highest trim. It makes the interior look like it’s missing options.

The 2.0 petrol engine with 220 hp did it for me.

‘Truly disappointing’ power. Love it!

Had a 240 BHP Tiguan bi turbo , now have 300 bhp Cupra Ateca , same MQB underpinnings. That's a sports SUV

4000 lbs with 184hp engine which would be around 150hp at the wheels after drivetrain loss. All of that for 40k? Nooooo siiiiiiir

How many changes to the engine would need to be made to bring the power up to GTI standards? I'm thinking aftermarket...

Definitively nice looking wheels.

I have an 2018 EU-spec Tiguan and comparing it to the North American Tiguan my feels a lot more premium. For instance it features a tri-zone climate, adjustable armrest in typical VW fashion, no blank buttons in the center console and much cooler led taillights. The taillights on this tester is actually the entry taillights in Europe. It is a shame that VW does not offer the same quality and features in North America as they do in Europe.

That is right, i wish they offer these options. But on the side node yours is probably much more expensive than this right?

Not really my cup of tea (crossover segment), but this is a nice, understated design that should age well. I prefer the Tiguan’s design over the CRV or Rav-4. I don’t think the R-Line trim stands out enough visually, but I guess it doesn’t matter since it’s not doesn’t have any powertrain, transmission or suspension upgrades. The 20 inch wheels seem like overkill for the Tiguan. I can’t imagine most people who’ll buy this will complain about the sluggishness. VW knows the market for these type of vehicles.

I own one and sell VW. It is my #1 seller. Best bang for the buck in its class and is a blast of a car. You can get an SE R Line Black for under 37k and an SEL R Line for around 42k. 2022 gets a facelift and a ton of standard features added. The 21’s a little cheaper if you can find them.

We test drove it in residential streets. Power seemed OK with four people in the car. It didn't seem sluggish or like I would be panicking on on ramps. But it's not the GTI of anything for sure. It's smooth, you don't feel shifts. Wife loved how it drove. We also drove the GLB, which seems more powerful but also kind of jumpy. My knock on the powertrain is the mileage; I would expect a bit better considering past EA888 cars with only 6 gears do about the same. I blame those wide 20s.
