We've revisited the Volkswagen Tiguan R, a hot hatch on stilts. 'No, it’s not as good as a hatchback would be – but as fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and we’d be inclined to pick it over the almost-identical Cupra Ateca or the Mercedes-AMG GLB 35' 🚀
However, since buyers’ tastes show no signs of slowing their slathering for taller and chunkier transportation, it is at least heart-warming to know that enthusiastic driving is still be catered for. And if you are in the market for a fast motor with a more challenging centre of gravity, it’s good to know that there are some decent options now. Including this one.The Tiguan R is powered by a 316bhp version of VW’s current 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine.
Keep the gearbox in D in Sport mode and you’ll enjoy acceleration when you need it but a gearbox that’s more than happy to cruise in a high gear. Despite the lowered ride height, 21-inch wheels and firmer dampers, the Tiguan R still rides well, too – comfort levels are more than high enough for this weapon to be used on a daily basis.
