Glos Guy, I was actually looking at YouTube reviews. I think it looks stunning in this semi-matt green. I also think it looks awful in red. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkJpALb2_GE
Many thanks. Yes, much better in that colour.
Looks are subjective, but I think it’s a bit bland. That does seem to be VWs styling direction though. It’s a great shame that they’ve kept those ugly grey plastic trims along the side sills and wheel arches on the non-R Line models. As well as cheapening the look of the car, it’s a bugger to clean things such as polish residue off it. Also a bit daft that they’ve incorporated a rotary controller but it only has very limited functionality, so you are forced to use the touchscreen for most things, which is far less easy / safe when driving.
I’d need a damned good test of it to convince myself that VW has improved the tech considerably over the current model, especially the infotainment system, adaptive cruise control and adaptive headlights – all of which were very poor on our last Tiguan, especially when compared to those in our current BMW
Worth watching the What Car? review of it as well. A bit more comprehensive than the AutoExpress one. They also mention that interior quality seems to have taken a step backwards.
