This is the new Volkswagen Tiguan!

VW’s ever-popular mid-sized SUV has had a facelift, and Mat’s about to find out what’s changed and whether it can compete with competitors like the Peugeot 3008 and Skoda Kodiaq.

When it comes to the design, there are several changes over the previous edition. We’ve got our hands on the R-Line edition, which has a few sportier elements than the entry-level car. Up front, there’s a full-length light bar, and it also comes with an aggressive lower bumper and some real vents. Along the side this edition comes with black window surrounds, contrasting door mirrors and black roof bars. At the back, there’s another full-length light bar and (thankfully!) no fake exhausts to be found anywhere!

There are several updates on the inside too. This R-Line edition comes with ambient lights built into the dash on the passenger side, and this car is also specced with an upgraded infotainment screen! It’s a super clear display, although unfortunately, it can be a bit laggy at times. The climate controls are also managed through the screen as well. There’s a large digital driver's display, and the gear selector has moved to a stalk on the steering wheel.

There are a couple of engine options available. The entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol that can deliver 130hp, while another 1.5-litre turbo petrol can put down 150hp. There’s one diesel available - a 2-litre turbo diesel that creates 150hp. There are also two plug-in hybrids available - both use the 1.5-litre turbo petrol, with one creating 204hp, and one creating 272hp. These cars come with a 20kWh battery pack that can drive on electric power alone for up to 77 miles!

The Tiguan starts at £34,000, rising to up to £48,000 for the top-of-the-range edition. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
