2019 VW Tiguan R-Line Review - Three Thumbs Up [4K] 

I like your review better than many other you RU-vid reviewers. Good pace, relevant detail, overall good presentation.

Sat in the back of a 3rd row tiguan. Definitely not comfy but surprisingly more room then expected. In a pinch if you move the middle row up which has alot of leg room at 6'2 I could manage for a short trip. So if your on the fence your better off getting the 3rd row for those times you got more people then seats.

You gotta love the look of the headlights. So mean!

I hear a lot of complaints about the VW Tiguan, from not enough horsepower to no air condition seats to no LED headlights on all models. The fact is; VW and VW group can do all those things because they own Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, etc. Most car brands don't offer full LED DRL, AC seats nor performance engines on lower level trims including Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda, Ford, GM, etc. VW of America has proven they can bring top tech and luxury to a VW but it would be a failure; the VW Phaeton proved that. This is also why you don't see the all new expensive VW Toureg in North America (in my opinion the best looking Toureg ever exterior and interior). Consumers at a VW dealership are looking for a bargain; to stay within a reasonable price range. For VW group it's a balancing act, to show some tech and luxury but don't cross into Audi territory; show some performance but don't cross into Porsche territory. VW means the people's car and in North America the legendary VW Beetle was one of the most inexpensive dependable mid-engine vehicles for decades. I think VW feel if you're willing to pay over 40,000 or 50,000 for a SUV or sedan you should be on a Audi or Porsche lot.

VW has a rear spoiler extender.. looks really cool. I have it on my black 2018 Tiguan R-line. I ordered it though my dealer for around $400.

Great comprehensive review!! Looking to get one in a couple of weeks.

In the rest of the world you can buy it with the same engine as the GTI and 7 speed DSG. That's what this R-Line should have here in North America!

I have the 190 bhp diesel automatic. Very quick and economical.

Very solid review! Thank you!

If you like torque then you'll love the Mazda CX5 turbo with 310 ft lbs.

I like the European version of the R line with the 21” wheels. Plus the non-Allspace Tiguan in Europe is shorter than this.

The American R-line version comes with 20” wheels. I’m assuming in Canada no.

Can you close the tailgate again with the foot swing?

You need the torque with a third row added. The R-Line should have a bigger turbo and performance mods. The 2.0T has plenty of aftermarket performance mods regardless. Not a deal braker.

Great review! I'd like to know if you feel this Tiguan is missing a decent sized center console. I feel like you need something to lean on. My experience was this was a great vehicle but nothing to lean on. Personal preference I realize but I'd like your input and thoughts. Many thanks!

Very good Review. Enjoyed it a lot.

I'm.so pissed I thought the r- line came with certain features...like the automatic lift gate...mine didn't have it :( whhhhyyy!!!!

Theres no doubt vw takes the cake on interiors in any segment they're in.

Great video:-):-) wish this suv had the gti engine. Great looking suv

My Allspace R-line will arrive in about 4 weeks. :P

You forgot to test the adaptive cruise function, as promised in the video. Apart from that, good job, I'm looking to move up from my 2015 Jetta and I think I found my next car.

I got the 2018 R Line highline. Getting my APR tune soon. 250hp and 280 torque.

Great review as always. I think I still take the RAV-4, that 2.5 in new Camry is very peppy. I also hate those exhaust outlets. What the ... is VW thinking? May be they are still embrassed with the dieselgate and don’t want their tailpipes to look black 😁 otherwise the interior is really right on and won’t look dated.

Memory seats?

Will be nice if the camera will actually show the car instead of you when you are talking about a feature.

Nice review. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel.

I see a TSI 4 motion emblem at the trunk door on the rear right, but I don't have this emblem in my 2019 Tiguan VW Highline R Line.

Nice work on the video. Get that microphone gain right during recording and you'll be even better.

I just got the 2019 R-Line about 3 weeks ago, I like the space & technology but man it’s SLOW. :(

Красавчик TIGUAN👍

Nice and good presentation!

VW has been making some nice changes. It is a brand that hasn't done anything for me in awhile. Their Tiguan and Atlas are nice SUVs. Do you have to have the heated steering wheel at the same time? If so how hot does the steering wheel get. I like to turn the steering wheel off separately as it often gets too hot in my vehicle after it has warmed up completely.

No other car could do it better for me

Thanks bro, quite informative

the door groove was probably for opening the rear door when front door is closed. Not really a design element :)

great video!

Positive input : I personally think you have too much frame time spent on you explaining the car and not enough footage of the car itself.. Like, I want to see the dashboard while you're explaining it.. Otherwise good video and nice explanation... I'm subscribing!

Wish you'd do one on the sante Fe, 2.0, awd, ultimate. It's surprisingly masculine and in this range.

I am guessing that North American Tiguan uses isin 8 speed auto and not 7 speed DSG? Wonder why?🤔

Nice video, although your grading is very flat IMO, as if you shot in log and forgot to grade the black point and color saturation.

hi what is the intro music? Thanks in advanced

What about the noisy clunk between 1st and 2nd or when in reversing in a driveway..worst gearbox ever ruining a beautiful suv

180 HP os not enough for you ?

I have that same car but with the 20" wheels

just picked up 2018 r line and noticed 2019 has rear camera washing function. Does 2018 have one? not that its a big deal but in winter time it can be really handy

Allspace?

Why is my Tiguan 2018 SE so noisy it makes me miss my Passat SEL 2013...

The uk version on the Tiguan r-line Is far better, I have a 2018 model, and it is lower, it has bigger and better looking 20” wheels, full R race spec interior, and a factory fitted body kit, You missed out on the better stuff North America, as per normal

视频做成这样非常可以啊！ 赞一个 长脸

Best suv🚗

Good job!

Tried it... EXTREMELY slow. I mean, these beauties do 0-60 in 8.2 AFTER the APR tune and around 10 secs before? It didn't need to be a GTI, but these new Tiguans would have trouble beating a snail FFS.

انا من الجزائر هل يمكن أن اشتريه بالتقسيط

I have the allspace highline, whats the biggest difference?

I have a 2012 VW Tiguan Highline 2.0T 4Motion; and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't upgrade to the current model. If I wanted to upgrade, I would go straight to the Atlas... either the Highline, or Execline trims. The 2012 Highline is like a luxury tank. Nothing seems to stop it, or slow it down. (Except, maybe lack of fuel... which I haven't had any problems with) It has an excellent balance of HP/Torque; and whether I'm traveling on the highway, unimproved roads, or offroad, as long as I have the right tyres, it ploughs through anything. (No, I don't take it mudding!!!!) I live in the Toronto area; and travel the same roads in this video. I've taken it on a road trip through the USA. It's up to the task. If I wanted more room, I would go straight to the Atlas. Seriously! Btw, I'm 6'6" tall; and my wife (who's Chinese) is barely 5'2".

Did they increase the horse power for 2019?

actually its not the tiguan.. its the allspace tiguan, a special longer version of the tiguan!

Top bellissima!

The orange peel on that paint..... they sell it like that?

Is this comfortline model?

I like the VW Tiguan, just not the North American model. It's the cheapo gutted-out version of its European counterparts.

Hi, R line is for highline trim and not the comfortline

Pause a little..fake energy only goes so far..otherwise good job.

👍🏿 nice I like 👁

Can we get the European version? This one sucks..

If you get the RLine, they significantly reduce the colour choices to basic black, white, grey. Boring!!!

Got a Volks since 2008 it becomes more and more cheap but the price goes up..... the Tiguan 2020 is a joke there a huge amount of problems for a new car...... never buy a volks again and all have the same opinions they start loosing a lot of consumers in North America also a huge mistake to move production in Mexico...... I prefer a BM Mercedes Volvo with no options than Tiguan Highline or Rline

Nice looking.. not even 250 hp, disappointing

Love to buy Tiguan but the dealers in India are cheaters....

Never never 4 cyl.engine angin .

Tiguan get's less power. Mazda CX5 get's more power and more torque, drives better and cheaper.

40k and no horsepower increase for the top trim WTF! VW! bring the damn T-ROC to USA MARKET! QUIT THIS SAFE BULLSHIT! then maybe I'll consider you

This is one UGLY underpowered SUV and well overpriced..but great review non the less.

Assembled where? NOT INTERESTED!

Is it a review about vehicle or the host? Most of the time you're on the screen than actual car. Pretty annoying 👎🏻
