Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Tesla Model Y
- Space! A 6.5ft tall person can fit behind a 6ft tall driver.
- Range: 400-500km in the real world, depending on the model.
- It’s quick! 5 to 5.9 seconds to 100kmph is serious performance.
- Feature fest: 16-inch touchscreen, 8-inch rear screen, on-board apps etc.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- Great seats: R-Line seats give you a good driving position and are comfortable and supportive. Massage function is good.
- Spacious and practical: Offers plenty of room, lots of cubby holes and charging options. Dual wireless charging up front is a great feature.
- Impressive tech package: Comes with a 15-inch touchscreen, a digital driver's display, and a HUD too
- Powerful turbo-petrol engine: Offers an engaging drive experience and suspension set up gives you the best of both words - comfortable and sporty when you want it to be.

Tesla Model Y
- Everything controlled from the touchscreen might feel overwhelming to some.
- Ride quality is on the firmer side. Surface imperfections are felt inside the cabin.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- Missing features: Does not get keyless entry, powered and ventilated front seats
- Not so efficient: Fuel efficiency of the large turbo-petrol engine in traffic and when driven with a heavy right foot can drop
