CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Production Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Silly fast for a family wagon
- Retains the regular Tiguan's strengths
- Bargain compared to rival Euro fast SUVs
Misses
- Only looks special in Lapiz Blue
- Australia misses out on full-fat Euro tune
- Some cabin elements are a bit dated
