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?

Hi I love Videos because you you inspire me which car should get for my first car
Use 93 Octane, put it in Sport mode and it has plenty of power, really Joe, it does. I have a 2021 SE 4 Motion...93 Octane + Sport Mode = solid acceleration. And Laurie, as always, great video. Does Joe pay you with Twinkies? Love your reviews Joe! Keep them coming!
I have a 2020 VW Tiguan SE, I put 5k miles on it and that car is really really good. The car it self is just really comfy and the infotainment system is really easy to use. I like how a compact car is actually really big and comfy for its price and I would recommend it to anyone. Also love the head and taillights, they look really cool.

I was comparing several compact SUVs online when a pop up window appeared for this one. After watching this review I may lease my first Volkswagen.
I just rode in one of these via Lyft. It was roomy and seemed to have decent power for a 4 cylinder. I will say that the second row had a lot of hard plastic touch points. VW needs to up their game in that area.
I am really enjoying my 2020 Tiguan, btw I use that cubby on the dash to put my smart car scent diffuser, it sits in there really well Thanks again for your review
Super detailed. Thanksb
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.

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
We have a 2019 SE and we love it! To answer your question about the cubby, we use it to put our sunglasses, Face Mask, toothpicks etc.

I wish they had a hybrid or affordable phev. I think Elantra hybrid jumped to the top of my list and I cannot wait for you to review it.
Really like this. Great family car. Can't wait till this available on the VW configurator 👍🏻
I use the dash tray when my wife is driving. I put my glasses, wallet and any other small items there.
I saw a Tiguan R running around the Nordschleife in a video just the other day. My son drives a Cupra Ateca in Italy. Hope we get a Tiguan R that at least equals its performance.
Iv had mine almost 3 years no problems tsi alltrak 28mpg in town
Another great video my friend. Here in my country VW equipped that Tiguan with a 220 HP engine. Same as the Golf GTI. Mpg on the other hand isn't very good.
I have a 2020 SE. I’m a little bigger than you & I love the leg room. Just took a long trip & I got almost 30 mpg. When I needed power to pass, I got it. 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 suppose this is the all space version. Keep up the good work 👍
@stephenhendricks103

The "All Space" designation isn't used in the US. We get only that version and it's known simply as the Tiguan. The second generation original and smaller Tiguan is still sold in Europe but not in the US.
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.

Badger your VW dealer and if necessary move up to regional management to get an updated SD card. In my experience dealer knowledge about the NAV system varies greatly.
So many solid small SUVs last 3-3 yrs. Great for me as am set to look at a used one from VW, Kia, Hyundai etc. in 2021.
What a coincidence hahaha I was just about to request a review of this car lol always ahead of the game Joe! Keep up the amazing work
Well done review. Can't help but wonder how reliable it is?
Nice if you like a 4 cylinder turbo but I’d step up to the Atlas Cross Sport with the V6 and the extra room. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job as usual! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Husband:" Hey honey....guess what? I just found out I have a kid I didn't know about. Good thing we got the Tiguan with that third row seating." Wife:" Third row seating is the least of your worries."
Mr.Joe Raiti I knew what that center storage on the top was for near the steering wheel you could put like a couple twinkies there or anything maybe put jewelry or change if you wanted to
i've subscribed to your channel cause i like the way you review all vehicles. i have a question (i hope you answer). i'm torn between 2 vehicles as my running around everyday type of vehicle. they are the volvo xc40 t5 or the range rover evoque. which would you choose. i'm leaning toward the volvo but the evoque seems more luxurious. let me know, dude. thanks.
We love our Tiguan Rline but the third row does not get air to well and the POWER needs improvement. Overall still a great Mid Suv
Refresh coming out next year looks great, I’d wait for that one!

I put my parking permit in that little cubby on the dash. The permit is only useful while at my work. The placement works for me as I don't like the idea of adhering the permit to the windshield or hanging on the rearview mirror.
Those 45 cents are gold
Nice review man. I hope you bought the mayonnaise you were looking for
This guy's sense of humor!
Hopefully in the next few years with the average car you can download different looking home screens and clock faces
i may like those fysical buttons more in the steeringwheel then digitals as seen some version. still can't judge till i can test my self.
I miss my 2018 Tiguan SEL. Great vehicle in all ways except power. Feels luxurious, great ride, nice tech. I’d recommend getting a tune, an APR tune will get this baby moving.
Hey Joe, How about doing a vid on the VW Taos?
Good job but...where do you live where everyone cruises in the passing lane and you saw fit to hop into the cruising lane to pass?
It’s got SOUL baby !!
I have a 2020 SE that I purchased sometime late July and my keyfob is definitely nicer than just plastic. Has chrome on it. Curious if it’s just the SEL h That has the all plastic of this specific vehicle..
Idk what SUV I should get so many choices ! I’m depending to get this or Ford Escape... any help?
My sister just bought a 2020 tiguan and I noticed that the hood blocks the windshield wipers from being able to be flipped all the way up. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a flawed design?

The front cubby is perfect for a mask.
I got the tiguan s, black rims black inside n out, gonna attach a trailer hitch , do a detail business. Its a great car for family but the issue i have now is it feels jerky. Gonna get it serviced
You should try the sport mode , I see you keep driving in normal mode. Sport mode of this Tig give you driving smoother and more stable of the steering wheel.

I want this car ! I have to learn how to trade. Love it 😍
Tray on the dash...corn dog tray! Goes along with your Twinkies/Zingers
Hey Joe. In Germany is also available at 220 HP. Why doesn`t it exist in the USA? But there ist now also a Facelift, perhaps it will get more Power in the USA. In Germany more People drive a Diesel and not a Gasoline engine. Great Test Joe!
Gotta love my Twinkies!
