- Much improved interior.
- Boot space (for a hybrid).
- Not boring to drive (for a CVT).
- Quiet cabin.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- R-Line seats give you a good driving position and are comfortable and supportive. Massage function is good.
- Spacious and practical with plenty of room, lots of cubby holes and charging options. Dual wireless charging up front is a great feature.
- Tech is impressive with a 15-inch touch screen and digital drivers dash and HUD too.
- Powerful turbo petrol is engaging and suspension set up gives you the best of both words - comfortable and sporty when you want it to be.

Lexus ES
- Lack of headroom for tall passengers.
- Touch screen interface is confusing.
- No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
- Still priced a little high.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- Features set has some misses like keyless entry, powered and ventilated front seats.
- Fuel efficiency of the large turbo-petrol engine in traffic and when driven with a heavy right foot can drop.
