Product Overview
Volkswagen Tiguan Mk2 facelift is a compact crossover in production from 2020. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift, the facelifted Mk2 Tiguan is even uglier, while still limited to a basic suspension seutp.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 40%The diesel version of Volkswagen’s sales chart stalwart has become a bit of a dinosaur. Long gone are the days we’d recommend a diesel SUV for anyone but a private buyer. Non-business buyers will pay £870 in vehicle excise duty alone for the diesel. Reconcile yourself to its shortcomings, and you are likely to find the Tiguan's strong suits to be sufficient compensation.

Pros
- Cheap to run
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- No mild-hybrid system
- Alternatives are more fun to drive
- Slightly old-school styling
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 56%Like the Golf R, the Tiguan R is damnably fast – more so, it can often seem, than the Golf, though this is due to the faint feeling of precariousness imparted by the higher driving position, rather than real pace. In Sport and Race mode, alongside impressively little turbo turbo-lag for a stressed 2.0-litre four-pot motor, things can feel frantic. If you want your family crossover to leave passengers slack-jawed, this one will do it, and the new brake package is every bit the engine's equal.

Pros
- Fantastic performance
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- R Performance isn’t for everyone
autocar[3]
Reviewer score 58%This is our first look at a petrol-fuelled Volkswagen Tiguan since the second-generation model was launched in 2016. Tested here in Active trim, it represents the range’s lower-middle ground at £29,180. That its 148bhp, 1.5-litre turbocharged four is now the most popular engine in the line-up shows how the tide has turned against diesel power in this sector.

Pros
- Powerful petrol engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent ride quality
Cons
- Expensive for what’s on offer
autocar[4]
Reviewer score 53%There are also new trims as part of the facelift. Gone are the S, Match, SEL and R-Line Tech levels, to be replaced by the base Tiguan. Inside, the big change is on the lower tier of the centre dashboard. The new climate control system is now a largely touchscreen set-up, including sliders to change the temperature.

Pros
- Sleek looks
- Smart infotainment system
Cons
- Lacklustre ride quality
autocar[5]
Reviewer score 66%The Tiguan eHybrid is based around a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-pot petrol engine. It is mated to an electric drive motor and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Combined, these elements make for a system output of 242bhp and 295lb ft. Its handling isn't what you would call sporting but is entirely agreeable.

Pros
- Powerful petrol engine
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Not the most fun to drive
autocar[6]
Reviewer score 67%There are three models, actually: the £35,515 Life entry version, the plusher Elegance and the sportier R-Line. All Tiguan PHEVs are well equipped, coming with niceties such as three-zone air-con, adaptive cruise control and front/rear parking sensors. The powertrain consists of a well-proven 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and an electric motor.

- Powerful engine

Cons

Reviewer score 72%The Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most popular SUVs in Europe. It takes everything that’s great about the Golf and adds a high driving position, more interior space and a larger boot. There is a strong range of petrol and diesel engines for buyers to choose from. Prices for mainstream models range from around £28,000 to £46,000.

Pros
- Fastest SUV in Europe
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- Lack of personality
autoexpress[9]
Reviewer score 70%The Tiguan eHybrid is a plug-in hybrid version of the Volkswagen Tiguan. Powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to a 13kWh battery pack and an electric motor, mounted on the end of a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Volkswagen hasn't confirmed any fuel economy figures yet, but the official numbers will likely just trail those of the new Golf GTE. It could tempt diesel customers looking for frugality, too.

Pros
- Easy to drive
- Relaxing petrol engine
- Easy to use
Cons
- Noisy diesel engine
- Cheap to run
autoexpress[10]
Reviewer score 55%The Tiguan eHybrid is available in Life, Elegance and R-Line trims. Prices start from a little over £36,000. Each model, VW claims, will do around 30 miles on a charge. The biggest disappointment isn’t the Tiguan’s outright pace, or the way it switches between electric and petrol power.

Pros
- Elegance and Elegance models are more fun to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- Lacklustre automatic gearbox
- Lack of refinement
autoexpress[11]
Reviewer score 58%The new Tiguan looks and feels new to the touch, but the drive is very much a case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There's decent space, and with a boot sizing up at 615 litres with all seats in place, the Tiguan is still a practical choice. The 148bhp 2.0 TDI tested here serves up competent performance without ever feeling fast.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- New infotainment tech
Cons
- More expensive than rivals
autoexpress[12]
Reviewer score 45%The Volkswagen Tiguan R is a good all-rounder. It's fast (if not all that economical) while it offers secure and predictable handling and plenty of easily accessible performance. However, it doesn't serve up the same level of engagement as some of its performance SUV rivals at this kind of price.

Pros
- Fast enough to go toe-to-toe with rivals
- Comfortable ride
Cons
- Lack of refinement
- Not as engaging as some rivals
autoexpress[13]
Reviewer score 54%In entry-level Life spec, like our test car, it's a pretty forgettable-looking SUV. If you were hoping VW was saving all of its design budget for a big overhaul inside, well, you'll be disappointed. There's swathes of grey everywhere you look - on the dashboard, the seats and centre console. The 1.5-litre engine is a known quantity; power delivery is smooth and at a cruise the engine totally fades into the background.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment system
- Good standard kit
Cons
- Dull interior
- Slightly firm ride
autoexpress[14]
Reviewer score 64%The Tiguan's family ties are instantly clear, because build quality is excellent. There's lots of storage, impressive ergonomics, and lots of seat and steering wheel adjustment. The layout is typical of a VW Group car: sensible, but not particularly stylish. It's the cabin space and versatility that owners like the most, along with the infotainment and ventilation.

Pros
- Excellent cabin quality
- Excellent infotainment system
- Good range of engines
Cons
- No seven-seat option
- No automatic emergency braking
