The Tiguan was always one of the most popular cars on the scheme, so I think it’s highly likely that there will be discussions between Motability Operations and VW about the new one joining the scheme. The problem will be which model(s) will we be offered, given that Motability seem to be obsessed with forcing us all to go down the EV route. The PHEV version of the old model never appeared on the scheme and I fear that if it does with the new model we may be restricted to the poverty spec models (as has always been the case with the Allspace).
Having had several Tiguans through Motability we would look at the new one, but they would need to have improved the infotainment system, adaptive cruise, adaptive headlights, engine refinement and economy substantially over the current model. The BMW that we replaced our last Tiguan with outclasses the Tiguan in all these areas (and more) by a considerable margin, and I wouldn’t want to feel that we’ve gone backwards by getting one. Another big drawback with the current and previous Tiguans has been that they don’t have leather seats as standard, even on the top spec models, and it’s a hugely expensive option as it comes with an electric drivers seat with memory, which is a waste for us as nobody ever drives it other than me!
