2007 introduction, yeah but not in the states. First year for the Tiguan in N. America was 2009, still driving mine, 227K and compression is almost like new. It's been excellent.

We just bought one and I can say the fact that this has 4 mics for your phone calls make the calls extremely clear.

@Raiti's Rides on all trim levels of the Tiguan, they come equipped with a back-up camera spray nozzle. Here is how to activate it step #1 Turn on vehicle, step #2 shift into reverse, step #3 place your hand on the right hand window wiper lever and push and hold the lever forward and you will see the camera get a pressured blast of wiper fluid and it cleans the lens without scratching it. Hope that helps! - tip make sure to pull the lever forward one click to stop the rear wiper

Because of your show, I bought mine yesterday! Thank you!

Good video, very informative also made me chuckle a bit! Keep it up

Got this exact trim a couple weeks before this video came out. The only thing I didn't like about it was the lack of LED headlights until the very last trim level. I ended up replacing the light housing assemblies to accommodate LED's and the look is SOOO much better.

We looked at the 2019 last year in preparation for a new lease. The one we drove had the two tone golden oak interior. It was the SEL trim. It was a really beautiful interior. They deleted that option for the 2020’s. We went with something else for many reasons but the interior really looks bland compared to that two tone golden oak interior. It made it feel like a luxury vehicle on the inside.

Though the Tiguan is typically considered a "compact" crossover, it's really more of a tweener at 185" in length. (e.g. CRV is 182"; Rav4 181". Ford Edge 188"; Kia Sorento 189"). The low cost ($600) optional third row seating is cramped, at best, but it might surprise many that the legroom (27.9") is actually more than the Toyota Highlander (27.7")! So much for Toyota's midsize crossover on that score. Power is adequate but nothing to write home about. However, a Stage I APR tune adds about 70 hp and equivalent torque to the engine. And contrary to claims to the contrary it does NOT invalidate the manufacturer warranty unless the tune can be shown to have been responsible for a warranty issue. And if that isn't enough, APR offers a backup warranty for tuned 2.0L turbo VW's that's identical to the VW factory warranty. And before the inevitable comments about reliability, JD Power's 2020 3 yr reliability ratings put it at the top of its class.

Eric yes sir!

I really have my eye drawn on this vehicle out of most, and the se-r line at that, similar to what joe did in 2018 specifically, pretty. There really is no weak point to design//comfort/functionality which are pluses, moot power but reliability, not sure who is getting a bad unit, following schedules, out of who isnt. You could be forward leaning with this optimism here, -definitely- great prices atm many dealerships (30-32k), however warranty shot down that is not good for confidence in their vehicles, perhaps that is the most telling sign to pass that they set the bar higher and could-not guarantee even that. If they kept that 6 year warranty, this would be a mostly favorable option. If they went 10, well, they don't put that much confidence into their vehicles (At least in US). VW are perhaps yet-still for people with expendable incomes/optimism but this is just not how it should be but it seems this is perhaps an equatable conclusion to VW-US affairs. THe country is IN LOVE with buying this shit...vehicles; vehicles and iphones. Perhaps one day the average public will demand more warranty guarantee instead of listlessly buying/discarding. Thanks again man for doing a Tiguan showcase this is what matters, seeing the vehicles/studying review and, good trim pick too. I like your vehicle picks in general but might go with that roadster after all. :) The picks shows more of the coolguy consensus making you not only a great reviewer but dependable quality judge for what is appealing/not. Top reviewer to know about auto for common joe's who have taste/concern. Go with Joe for sure thanks for being out there brother lets do more EDIT: HOLY CRAP, at this Reeves Volkswagen Joe's at in Tampa tiguan starts at 25k and se r-line at 28k, thats phenomenal considering up north they go for 30-32k routinely. One could argue that would cover any surprise major issues. VW would really have to F shit up to not cover past that.

Hi Joe I'm looking for a Crossover with the same Size. My height is 5'10. Probably I would schedule a test drive to check. I like the style. What do you suggest?

Bought the SE back in December (no sunroof - thank God!). I'd add three more zonks: 1. Start/Stop should have the option to be off all the time. 2. Start/Stop button could easily have been on the drivers side of the shifter instead of the fake buttons. Drove a 2020 Golf GTI for a week when my car was in for some work and the S/S is on the drivers side. Much easier considering I have to press it each time I drive. Not a fan of Start/Stop as it doesn't appear to be there for safety. Should be an option or just have the ability to disable. 3. The gloss details on the wheel and dash. They pick up and reflect light much more than I could've imagined. I find I'm covering them with my hand to avoid the glare. Any tips on how to dull that finish (short of sandpaper or something damaging) I'm all ears.

Can you comment an "expected" reliability? A friend has driven VWs for years and loves them and keeps buying them. But I read that even in Europe, people complain about their reliability.

Hi Joe...I leased a 2018 Tiguan SEL 4motion with the two toned golden oak seats in October of 2018. I was highly dissapointed with the Tiguan, the seats were uncomfortable on long drives, the performance SUCKED, when I wanted to go it hesitated. It was high maintenance, every 10,000 miles it needed an all wheel alignment, the engine was kind of loud, the fake exhaust were ridiculous.

I’m in my second Tiguan and they are great and affordable. This will last way longer than the Ford where it will loosen up by 45,000 miles and the tranny will slip at 80,000 miles. Yours needs wheel alignments because you drive straight they potholes. Wheel alignments are no big deal anyway. I’m guessing you and the family drive vehicles very hard.

Joshua Rutter...My first experience with the Tiguan was a nightmare, I don't drive vehicles hard!...I take very good care of any vehicle I have from the exterior, interior and I believe in maintaining it. I had a 03 Trailblazer for 17 years, never had a problem, it looked brand new the whole time I owned it, no dents, accident, scratches ,nothing! Maintenance was kept up, before I traded it in for the Tiguan. The Tiguan was disappointing for ME, having to pay for wheel alignments every 10,000 miles and experiencing a "check engine light" the first two months of having it and driving it straight to the dealership and having them keep it for a week because it would have stalled in traffic on me. Never had any PROBLEMS like that when I had my Trailblazer! My first experience was not good owning this vehicle so, maybe I got a piece of crap from the Volkswagen plant. I found out the dealership where I purchased my Ford from sold the Tiguan back to Volkswagen instead of keeping it on their lot for resale, they kept an Atlas on their lot after someone traded it in and it had the same mileage and year as the Tiguan and it was in great shape just like I kept the Tiguan so, something must have been wrong with it if they didn't keep it. Don' t like the new Chevy's either!

Brian Ford I’m very happy with my Tiguan for the price I paid. 2019 SE. The turbo helps so much with torque once you get going. It’s not a race car just like other cars in the segment. The Rav-4 felt slower so I left and went to the VW dealer and test drive the Tiguan and loved it!! I’ve almost had it for a year! Took it from Oklahoma to California and back- 5,000 miles and it handled everything perfectly. It was filled to the roof with all my stuff and it was quiet and comfortable and good on gas! I have only a couple small complaints but no car is perfect. I wish it had full LED headlights but the SEL Premium does. Luckily the taillights are. I wish the driver armrest was higher and could ratchet up. But the HVAC and 8” Touch Screen and HD and Satellite radio all work great to me! This car has some touches that feel well thought out that you find after you buy the car. Small touches go a long way. The cargo area is very useful with lights and hooks and power outlets and protective covers that VW throws in. My warranty is very long. The steering feels great and the leather wrapped wheel and heated seats work great. The second row bench is split and it slides forward and back about 6”-8” and the seat backs recline and you have the armrest with cup holders and then both front seat backs have pockets. You have second row air vents. There is so much- large glovebox with light and large map pocket/ carpet lined bottle holders in all 4 doors and they hold a ton of crap! So again for $24,000 with destination and the solid feel of the Tiguan, I’m more than thrilled!!! Get one if you like it. Lease it!

You should also talk about the maintenance with your evaluations as well as warranties.

Ronald Bishop that takes too much time they can’t cover everything but you can go on the VW website if you really want to know the details.

Ronald Bishop besides he is entertaining us. People will turn him off if the information gets boring. If you want to buy this car then inform yourself is the best answer.

The style is good. However, no acceleration. Needs a more powerful engine. Being a VW, reliability may be a problem.

It is NOT included with the SE trim. It's an optional package for the SE trim. Huge.

All cars should be cross shopped with a Mustang GT Performance Pack 1!

Joe M I think you are on to something!🤔

Pilot and Highlander are much larger and more expensive vehicles. The Nissan Rogue, which is basically the same size as the Tiguan used to have a third row as well. That would be the comparison. But again, they deleted it. It’s still a compact CUV, the likes of a Rav 4, CRV, Santa Fe, Equinox and the Rogue. The third row in this is an emergency third row and is available without, which is probably how most are sold.

Volkswagen SUV?? Yeah.... I'll let it slide, Cool Beans 😎.

I don't understand why you are comparing Tiguan with CRV and RAV4? They aren't the same level, you should compare CRV RAV4 with similar models from Hyundai and Kia. Tiguan should be compared with other European brands. RAV4 and CRV is more like a housewife daily grocery shopper style car.

Less horsepower but 20 pound more torque. And the miller cycle for fuel economy. It is about torque for the smooth family ride. 👍🏻
