Fun to drive, roomy and comfortable

Excellent car! Smooth and fun to drive, great visibility and love the panoramic roof. Sound and tech interface is well designed as are the many safety features. I love the European design.

Love my new car!

So far I really like my new SUV. It has so many great features and drives so smooth and quiet. I love the color of the exterior and the interior. The safety features are so nice and easy to use.

2021 VW Tiguan R

Was looking for a small to mid size SUV that could haul 7 people when family came to visit. Not many choices out there but I found the Tiguan. I owned a Passat a few years back so I was familiar with the brand. Still too new for a complete review but so far I'm not disappointed. Nice German styling and quality in a value packed vehicle, including the price!

Adequate

I'm disappointed that the rear seats don't fold flat as they do on the VW Atlas and Cross Sport. This is common to compact SUV's but the Tiguan is more expensive than the others, so VW should provide extra function. It limits the use of the cargo section. I had a 2018 VW Tiguan and the ride was smoother. This new version, the 2021 isn't smooth or quiet. Also, VW made it harder to set stations on the radio and I still can't figure out how to keep the high beam on. The price on the lease is much higher even though the 2018 had a 6 year/ 72k mile warranty and this one was reduced to 4 yr/50k with the 10k and 20k servicing included, but on special I only paid at the dealer, $100 and $200 resp. for that servicing. I found the seat and seat back more supportive on the 2018 models. All in all, I preferred the 2018 for comfort. VW discontinued the Silk Blue exterior color, which I loved. I only have the S trim. It's okay but not as good a value if leasing as the competition, such as Honda CRV. The reason I consider it a poor value for the money pertains to buying because the VW doesn't hold its value as well as Honda or Toyota vehicles, for example. I like the look of it, though. I put Good for reliable but I just leased it a few days ago and only drove it back from the dealer. it's been parked since then, so can't say yet.

Super happy with new car

It was a fantastic ride. I will definitely keep with VW. Me & my mom traded in our Subarus for these 2 Tuigan 2021. It was the best trade in ever.

Excellent Vehicle

Bought the SEL. Very solid car with a lot of perks for the money. Just make sure you know what features come with each trim model.

LOVE my Tiguan

This SUV is amazing. We travelled to Nebraska recently to visit family and it was a great drive. The drive is always smooth in the Tiguan and it's very comfortable. I love the features (Sunroof, programable garage opener under the visor, heated seats, the all wheel drive for inclimate weather) and it's all wheel drive which we need whenever we visit family in Northern American.
