Expert reviews: 

The 2019 VW Tiguan has a spacious interior and a comfortable ride, but its price climbs quickly.

Interior room to space
Excellent infotainment software
Decent value
Good ride quality

Cons
Third row’s a joke
Expensive with options
Not very fuel-efficient
Transmission can be confused

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan ranked #8 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Volkswagen Tiguan has a score of 8.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 26 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Large cargo area
Lengthy warranty
Serene ride

Cons
Lackluster engine power
Poor fuel economy estimates

By: 
usnews.com

Revised trim levels and feature availability for 2019.

PROS
Offers a lot of space for passengers and cargo
Three-row seating is useful in a pinch
Tech interface is intuitive to use
Longer warranty period than most competitors

CONS
Subpar acceleration and responsiveness
Ranks low in fuel economy for the class
Optional larger wheels make for a bumpy ride

The latest BMW X3 is well worth considering if you’re looking for a family SUV with a spacious and plush interior that’s relaxing to drive.

Pros
Spacious cabin
Practical boot
Quiet and comfortable to drive

Cons
Desirable options cost extra
Looks like the old car
Cabin doesn’t look very exciting

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The X3 also becomes a more full-fledged member of the BMW family with its upgraded interior. And at a time when some of the brand’s passenger-car offerings have strayed from BMW’s historically strong dynamics, the new X3 makes an encouraging showing there as well.

Pros
Chassis tuning like BMWs of old,
improved interior,
plenty of passenger and cargo space.

Cons
Imprecise variable-ratio steering,
goofy electronic shifter,
the entry-level four pales next to the six-cylinder.
