Well, we’ve figured out it’s a nice size and looks the part of the family mover. Its relatively low to the ground for an SUV but this was a bonus for me because it meant I didn’t have to help my five-year old in and out of the car all week.
Initially, it looks likes a standard Tiguan, albeit stretched. It sports the same crisp styling in the pinched lines running the length of the body and the shiny grille is modern and fresh.
The snazzy looking 18-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and headlights also give it a sporty edge. It’s a very smart looking exterior but the finishes on the interior is where it's let down.
The interior is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a mesh of basic and high-tech styling, particularly in the dashboard that integrates digital displays and touchpads with harder plastics.
The top of the dash doesn’t sit flush with the door panels and there are significant gaps between the doors and dash, too. Big enough that I could slide my fingers in-between them. It’s still nice inside but it could have been executed better.
