Is the 2020 VW Tiguan a GOOD compact SUV you should BUY?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The VW Tiguan has something that the other compact SUVs does not have! Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 184HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It's exterior features clean German styling. On the inside you will find a spacious cabin and the only 3rd row seating in this class. Is the 2020 VW Tiguan a Better compact SUV than the Honda CR-V & Toyota RAV4?

    APR Stage 1 ECU tune bumps the power all the way up to 278 hp and 341 lb-ft according to their website. The VW 2.0 liter engines are very tunable. I don’t imagine people who are looking to buy a Tiguan will do it but it’s nice to know the potential.

  • @stephenhendricks103

    Second to that! Added a Stage 1 APR tune to my MK6 GTI after driving it for 40K miles. Added another 40K before trading it for a MK7.5 GTI without a single issue. Not one. Can't vouch for the specific HP and torque figures APR claims but I have no reason to doubt them. The impact of the 30 minute ECU tune is immediate and more than significant and the impact on fuel economy (assuming you can discipline your right foot) is minimal, about 1-3 mpgs. Interestingly, the Stage 1 tune might be even more appropriate for the Tiguan than for the GTI. For a vehicle with a manual transmission APR recommends upgrading and/or periodic replacement of the clutch. No need for that in the Tiguan's AT. Further, the 4Motion AWD system in the Tiguan eliminates the torque steer and reduces tire wear that comes with the tuning upgrade. All in all, based on my experience a $800 investment in a Stage 1 tune is highly recommended

I use the cubby for my phone when not plugged in to the USB port & for change. I recommend this car over RAV 4 or CRV, because of leg room, easy to use dash, & great capacity in the back (and the seats down).

    I’ve got a 2019 SEL Premium 4Motion and love it. Wish it had more power but that’s my only real complaint. (I wanted a Mazda 3 HB but got ores of waiting.) I was a bit upset that 4 months after I got mine they updated the instrument cluster to the shape it is now, but that’s a minor complaint. The built in GPS could be better, mine came with a SD card from 2016 I believe and is outdated. Upgrade that and you’re golden. I use the cubby on the dash for an air freshener. I’ll occasionally toss my keys and wallet there when I’m going for a long road trip.

    Thanks for the review. I've had two VW Tiguan's and both have been sluggish. Was this a 2020 or 2021. You stated on your drive 2021, just curious? Wow 34,000 is a bit much. You should have a S model, but thx for your time. Happy day.

    I would love to buy a Tiguan but no one talks about the reliability and perforlance of its engine, what are the common problems as it ages out..

    Certainly do wish they would bring the Tiguan R and they Hybrid here.... Europe just reveal the refresh of the car as well
