That’s true about the Tiguan but it’s boot is still bigger then the similar seat alteca due to its more sloping roof line, plus we can push rear seat forward if required with our grandkids safely in their car seats with our dog, with no danger of luggage or my scooter squashing them, so it’s a very useful feature too.
one I would have liked on our old Vw touran.
Also it’s good to have separate space under the boot floor, for umbrellas or dog walking shoes, rain coats etc something a lot of cars don’t have.
