My driveway was recently graced by a 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line.
This mid-trim Tiguan started at $35,705 and there’s a 2.0-liter turbo four underhood, making 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque mating to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Available features include dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, USB ports, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, satellite radio, Bluetooth, smartphone mirroring, wireless cell-phone charging, and more.
You know how this works, let’s dive in.
Pros
Cons
The Tiguan is enjoyable to drive on some levels — the ride is nicely balanced, and handling is overall good, despite body roll — and it’s easy to live with. But it would be even easier to drive with more guts and more buttons and knobs for the controls.
If you’re looking for an unremarkable crossover with a decent pinch of sport that’s easy to use as you go about your daily routine, the Tiguan is your ride.
That may sound like damning with faint praise, but I promise it isn’t. I liked the Tiguan well enough as a commuter car. With some tweaks, it could be a much stronger all-around contender. As it stands now, however, it’s a very likable ride that stops just short of standing out.
