Why the VW Tiguan Might be the Ultimate Family SUV
The SUV market has become increasingly crowded in recent years, with every marque vying for a slice of the popular pie. But not all SUVs are created equal, and as the market has expanded it has become harder and harder to decide which is the best option for you and your family. Fortunately at mycardirect we meticulously curate our fleet of subscription cars, and do the hard work of selecting the best ones for you. One model consistently rises to the top and puts a smile on the face of our subscribers – the Volkswagen Tiguan.
From its punchy yet efficient powertrain to its suite of safety tech, the Tiguan hits the sweet spot of our subscribers needs. Let’s dive in and explore why this might just be the ultimate SUV for you and yours.
Power and Efficiency, Perfectly Balanced
At the heart of the Tiguan R Line lies Volkswagen’s renowned 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, delivering a robust 150 horsepower. In fact, the Tiguan manages to achieve an impressive 40.9 MPG on the combined cycle – more than enough to keep your fuel costs in check, even with a full complement of passengers and cargo. This is lower than the Tiguan’s closest competitor on the mycardirect fleet the Kia Sportage, which manages 44 MPG on a 1.6 litre petrol engine at the expense of the Tiguan’s sporty performance.
The power is delivered through Volkswagen’s silky-smooth 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, which provides lightning-fast gear changes whether you’re carving up a country road or simply cruising on the motorway. The all-wheel drive system also ensures confident handling in slippery conditions, making the Tiguan a great choice year-round. While it’s the ideal choice for day to day use, Mycardirect subscribers have taken the Tiguan on alpine skiing holidays with no trouble whatsoever.
Safety Top Priority
In the cut-and-thrust of the school run or family road trips, having comprehensive safety features is an absolute must. Thankfully, the Tiguan R Line is absolutely brimming with advanced driver assistance tech that gives you and your loved ones peace of mind.
Key highlights include lane keeping assist to prevent drifting, adaptive cruise control that can bring you to a complete stop in traffic, and a radar-based front collision warning system that can automatically apply the brakes if it senses an imminent impact. There’s also blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a reversing camera to make parking this sizeable SUV a breeze.
Underpinning all of these active safety systems is a robust body structure that earned the Tiguan a full 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. You can rest easy knowing your family is surrounded by a veritable fortress on wheels.
Premium Touches, Inside and Out
Step inside the Tiguan R Line, and you’re immediately greeted by an interior that oozes quality and sophistication. The composite sports seats come emblazened with the Volkswagen’s “R” logo, and are trimmed in a range of high-grade materials, alternating between soft and firm for different panels of the seats. the steering wheel is wrapped in rich leatherette, and glossy aluminum pedals add a touch of motorsport-inspired flair. It’s a cabin to compete with the premium German saloons of Mercedes, Audi and BMW.
But this is no mere style-over-substance proposition. The Tiguan’s practical side shines through with a cavernous 615-liter boot, expandable to 1,615 liters with the rear seats folded. Plus, the sliding rear bench allows you to prioritize passenger space or cargo capacity as needed. Family getaways have never been so easy.
Moving on to the exterior, the R Line spec bestows the Tiguan with an extra dose of visual attitude. The distinctive front bumper, side skirts, and 19-inch alloy wheels lend a sportier, more dynamic appearance – yet it still retains the understated elegance that’s a hallmark of the Volkswagen brand. It’s a car for the people after all, not boy racers.
