Chromium lattice surround, color outside mirrors and door handles are standard across the spectrum. All the Tiguan is a handsome and stands out on the road.

Once inside you are embraced by supportive front seats. Optional electric seat adjustment on our test car meant an almost infinite number of driving positions are available and, in combination with an additional heated seats, made for a very convenient way, especially in the winter cape. The interior luxury, and we found a fit and finish is excellent. Control are located in the right places and easy to use.

At 200 mm, Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI “Trend” Fun and has sufficient ground clearance compared with others in its class. Clearance gives a good all-round view of the road, but relatively stocky with a component can be an obstacle in the case. In combination with a permanent four-wheel drive in the VW (4Motion) Tiguan has the authority, at least on paper, to deliver competent drive off-road. However, and this is usually the case with the majority of the owners of SUVs, we did not get to test it. Like most drivers Tiguan our time was spent almost exclusively in the urban jungle and the black stuff. But the Tiguan feels like home on the resin. Visit the firm, but comfortable and 4Motion provides assurance of progress, especially on wet roads. Steering is direct and well weighted on the move, thanks to the parametric power steering.
