Is it just a nip and tuck? Or is the third-generation VW Tiguan a thorough re-think? We try one and find out
If we were in a corporate bonding exercise and playing a mandatory game of word association and I said Volkswagen, you might say Golf. But those in the know know that the Volkswagen Tiguan is in fact the firm’s best-seller. This third-generation model has a lot riding on it, then. And Volkswagen has nailed it, to be fair. It’s easily as good as the last one, with some clever additions and some low-key hidden-gem style polish that you might not be expecting.Competition in this end of the SUV market is feisty. It ranges from the British built Nissan Qashqai right through to other Volkswagen Group cars such as the Seat Ateca and Skoda Karoq, via some premium offerings from the BMW X1 and Volvo XC40.
