It's puzzling why Volkswagen doesn't offer a non-plug-in full-Hybrid self charging version of this Tiguan, but if you can stretch to this PHEV variant, you'll now find it hugely improved. This powertrain will now make so much sense to the sensible conservative folk who tend to like this uber-sensible Wolfsburg mid-sized SUV.
It's now a real alternative to that mid-sized EV you might have been thinking about - and it feels classier inside than most of its PHEV crossover segment rivals. Yes, you could get a more avant garde cabin by opting for a mechanically very similar CUPRA Formentor eHybrid but that car won't appeal much to the typical Tiguan crowd. Who, we think, will like this Plug-in Hybrid model very much indeed.
