2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Consumer Reviews

Overall my 2018 Tiguan was great! No recalls through Aug 2025, no major issues mechanically other than normal wear and tear, drove very smooth with good tires. I had over 160k mi on the SUV when a deer hit me from the side and above, so it was totaled by insurance this week-will miss this vehicle!

In 2024, I purchased a pre-owned 2022 Tiguan SE with only 9,000 miles. Thankfully the vehicle still has VW warranty because it was consuming oil and needed engine repair at around 17,000 miles. VW dealer took care of everything and provided a rental for free which was nice. The infotainment screen is too small. Wireless Android auto often disconnects on its own. The sunroof shade is too thin. Overall, I am just expecting more and better from VW in 2022. The Korean cars are way ahead. I should have opted for a Japanese or Korean car.

I think it’s a comfortable car, handles well. Burns a quart of oil every 1200 miles or so. No help from VW. I have a 2011 Tiguan also. I think it’s a much better car. Gets the same mileage and no oil burn between 10k oil changes. I would not but it again.

Purchased the 2023 Tiguan SE with only 11k miles. This was my first import as I’ve previously only purchased American made cars. (Chevy Cruze, Ford Escape). I am truly a convert! I splurged for the RLine Black trim package and it was worth every penny. Sleek interior design with a panoramic sun/moonroof. Gorgeous interior ambient lighting & chrome accents. Quick start up & acceleration on a cold engine. Unfortunately, I was involved in an accident and my beloved was a total loss. I’m back in the market and plan to purchase the 2024 model because it’s the best quality compact SUV out there for the price. Pros: Enhanced safety features truly work. Front head & side airbags protected me from serious injury during my accident. Premium trim packages give a more contemporary look and feel. Adds the ‘oomph’ this model needs. Easy handling, corners well and is relatively quiet on the freeway. Roomy cargo area when the 3rd row seats are down. Cons: Integrated turn signal mirrors/blind spot indicator lights are distracting while driving on the highway. SE RLine & SEL trim packages are pricey. Driver/passenger seats could be roomier/better ergonomic design needed. Small console. Power lift gates are an add-on option. Awkward handle placement makes the lift gate hard to close manually.

bought a 2024 tiguan se with 8k miles on it and im so happy with it. it feels so luxurious and its zippy! so fun to drive. minor complaint- sos hazard button started going off almost immediately. luckily it happened the day after i bought it and the dealership dealt with all of it for me. VW knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it.

2017 Tiguan 39,000 miles and needs 8,000 worth of work! I maintained this vehicle and it failed me! Leaking oil ! Not happy at all as you can see I barely drive . Now I have to drive this unsafe car and I’m a single mom with special needs daughter . Thanks a lot Vw!!

I am 41 years old now and have owned only one other Volkswagens a long time ago. In my life now, I’ve purchased several and I mean several new vehicles. This Volkswagen Tiguan is by far the sexiest SUV on the market. Best Bang for your buck. This SE Rline Black is so gorgeous. Rides so smooth, adaptive cruise and steering assist works very smooth and as it should, the interior is beautiful. All the interior lighting is sweet. This is truly an amazing machine Volkswagen. I will buy another VW soon.

I love it! Still drives like new at 52k! Very fast and doesn't wear out tires like my 2005 Toureg did. Still have never needed an alignment.
