Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

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.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
