The verdict

What's good

  • Genuine adult space in the way-back
  • Updated tech and roomier feel
  • Solid, planted ride at speed
  • Plenty of room for family gear

What's not

  • Engine strains with a full load
  • Fuel economy trails the class
  • Fiddly touch-based climate controls
  • Reliability still a question mark

The engine

EA888

2.0L Turbo I4

VW's EA888 2.0 TSI is the definitive hot-hatch four — punchy, tunable, and torque-rich from low revs, equally at home humming in a Tiguan or screaming in a Golf R.

One of the most widely used and heavily developed engines in the world, the EA888 has powered Volkswagen Group cars across four generations and is a darling of the tuning scene.
