2022 Volkswagen Tiguan consumer reviews

I have owned this 2023 Tiguan SEL R line for almost a year. I have been absolutely satisfied with the quality, the ride, the fuel mileage and everything else about it. IMO it’s the best bang for the buck on the market. It is loaded with options and is still very affordable. I love this VW and , of course, I highly recommend it.

Bought a 2018 Tiguan for my daughter because she loved how the car drove and the price APPEARED to be a better deal than other cars in this class (Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV 4). However, long term they make up for that low cost in the service department. The battery need replaced several months ago. I thought I could just go to Costco or AutoZone and get a replacement like I have done for every other car I have owned for the last 45 years. But no, you must get a battery from the dealer because they have to "program" the battery, for which they charge you $400. Need an alignment ? Prepare to fork over another $300. Now I know why Toyota touts their total cost of ownership, because Volkswagen gouges you at the service department

To many things Vw doesn’t cover that have gone wrong in 30000 and 40000 miles clock spring struts radio jumps stations uses oil three quarts in 10000 has oil leaks

I have had VWs my whole life. Had a 2022 Tiguan that had zero issues except for the oil consumption issues that it seems most people experience with this car. Around 43,000 miles we started having constant issues with the car, in and out of the dealership for 2 weeks every month. The car had electrical issues and an airflow sensor that was fixed first. Less than 1000 miles later required a new cylinder head and head gasket repair, less than 1000 miles after that the leak detection pump failed. The service manager at the VW dealership told us "If I were you I'd get rid of this car the 2022s are nightmares". We called VW to try to get a warranty extension, they wouldn't do anything for us and neither would the dealership despite (clearly) having a poorly constructed car (almost unheard of for these things to fail before 50K miles). Ended up getting rid of the car and getting a new Honda before the warranty ended.

Nice looking car, drives fairly well, if you overlook the turbo lag. Bought mine used Jan 2024, from Sutliff VW, it had 54K on it. Dealer kept is 10days from the day I bought it, to fix (take your choice), carbon deposits they blamed on bad gas, another oil leak (never told me there was one in the 1st place), and had to replace a gasket. Blamed the long delay on getting parts from VW. Turns out that NONE of that showed up in the maint info on the app. I asked several times for a printout of the service, never got it. Went back about 6mos later, after I had a diff dealership service it, and asked again for a printout. The only service in their system was from Dec 2023, when they certified it. Now it's burning oil and blowing blue smoke. Had I known about the issues these vehicles had, I NEVER would have bought it.

DO NOT GET A 2022. Plagued with issues. At dealer every month for two years so far. Just hit 50k with head gasket part not in (months backlog). Horrible horrible purchase. Avoid 2022s at all costs

It's a medium-sized SUV. It's not a Porsche, Audi or MB. It is comfortable, reliable, the size and capacity I sought. In two years I've put on ~24K miles and absolutely no problems. My wife is handicapped and uses a walker. She thought the car was comfortable and we made two round trips from Hartford, CT to Key West. In the last 60 years We've had a Beetle, Passat, and a VW Bus that carried our family of four and 2 Dachshunds aacross the country and back to Connecticut - Twice!

What a xxx. I got the 22 SEL R-Line and let me tell you it's not worth your hard earned cash. No clue what VW thought when building this vehicle. The drivers assists every few days constantly giving me errors every 5 seconds, the infotainment system is trash. Doesn't save navigation locations, cuts out, or goes black screened. Comfortable is poor. As a 5'11 220lbs human being, my bottom is sore after driving 2 hours. I've owned a Jetta and a Passat and those never gave me any discomfort. The only thing this thing does decently is cornering. For this price point why couldn't it get more power similar to the GTI?!?!?! GET YOURSELF SOMETHING BETTER.

I really love the feel and comfort of this vehicle. It serves my family of 4 well. I am the 2nd owner at 13,000 miles. Only issue so far is the oil consumption. After only driving the car 600 miles after my first oil change, check oil light came on. It was a qt. low. I am now in the process of getting it checked at my local VW dealer. Will update on outcome.

I bought my new Tiguan early last year, and am so glad I did! I love my car and enjoyed the sales process. Everything was so easy!
