CarTell take

We haven't driven the Tiguan yet. On paper, touch-and-haptic controls have a steeper learning curve than Korean rivals. Spend time with the smart dial and shortcut bar before committing.

Why consider it

  • PHEV with about 100 km WLTP plus DC fast charging is rare in the medium SUV class, and the 195TSI R-Line brings 195 kW for $71,550 plus on-roads.

What to know

  • ANCAP rating is still to come for the new generation, and the 5-year warranty trails Kia and MG on cover.

Who it suits

Active families and small fleets who want a class-leading boot, 2,000 kg tow, and the choice of a PHEV or a 235 kW hot SUV flagship. The 150TSI Elegance AWD is the value sweet spot.
