Volkswagen Tiguan 2017
Carsguide Senior Journalist Richard Berry had this to say at the time: The Tiguan 162TSI Highline with the R-Line pack is consistently excellent across the board from value, features and practicality, to ride, performance and handling. The only area where it loses ground to its rivals is in ownership because, going by Volkswagen’s price guide, it may cost you more to service . Still, this is very possibly the best mid-sized SUV on the planet in this price range, and it would certainly be a huge mistake not to consider the Tiguan 162 TSI Highline (and the R-Line package) if you’re hunting for a sporty mid-sized SUV.

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

How do I update the navigation system in my 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan?
The upgrade to your navigation system can be done at a Volkswagen dealership and would be part of the work carried out at your next service (assuming you use a VW workshop). What most people tend to find, however, is that the Tiguan’s Apple CarPlay facility allows you to use the navigation services on your phone which, based on consumer feedback, are more accurate anyway since they’re updated in real time.

Why do I get an error message when I connect the nav in my 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan?
Your car’s sat-nav should be taking its data from an SD card that’s inserted in a slot inside the glove-box. So, the first thing to check is that the SD card is seated in the slot correctly. But there have been cases where the VW’s software seems to have a light-headed moment and loses the plot (it happens on plenty of other brands, too). One thing you can try is to press the on-off button for the infotainment screen and hold it down for at least 15 seconds. Sometimes, that will actually reboot the system and everything will come to life again, including the sat-nav.
Failing that, it’s a trip to the dealership to have the experts fix it. It may turn out that your data card or the software in the car needs an upgrade, which the dealership should be able to sort out for you.
