In advance of a more thorough update for the 2022 model year, VW makes a few changes to the Tiguan for 2021. The base S and mid-range SE models receive new 17-inch wheel designs and the latter of the two receives standard adaptive cruise control. Likewise, the top-spec SEL Premium R-Line model gains a power-adjustable front passenger's seat.

PROS
Agile driving behavior,
optional third row of seats,
fuel-efficient powertrain.

CONS
Poky acceleration,
firm ride,
dowdy interior design.

PROS
Big interior
Smooth ride
Automatic emergency braking standard
Big cargo area
Straight shooter

CONS
…and a little boring
Not very fuel-efficient
Small third row
New one on the way

The Discovery lineup gains a loaded Metropolitan Edition for 2023, complete with the 355-hp inline-six engine, special 22-inch wheels, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats for all three rows. The exterior is dressed up with unique grille, special emblems, and silver bumper inserts; inside, a new Titanium Mesh trim is inlayed on the dash and door panels. The mid-range R-Dynamic trim now comes standard with a black contrast roof and the rest of the lineup gains several new standard features, including heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, three-zone automatic climate control, and a Meridian stereo system.

PROS
Go-anywhere capability,
stylish exterior,
upscale and well-equipped cabin.

CONS
Boring on-road driving demeanor,
not much cargo space with third row in use,
only kids fit in the wayback.

By:
