Question 1

Which used Volkswagen Tiguan generation should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The second generation, from 2016 to 2024, is the common choice, with TSI petrols, TDI diesels, 4Motion four-wheel drive and, from 2021, a plug-in eHybrid. The third, from 2024, is automatic only and adds mild-hybrid eTSI petrols.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Volkswagen T-Roc and T-Cross?

Accepted Answer

The T-Cross, based on the Polo, is the smaller of the two and has a sliding rear bench. The T-Roc, based on the Golf, is larger and was also sold as a cabriolet and as the 300 PS T-Roc R.

Question 3

Does a used Volkswagen ID.4 pay the expensive car supplement?

Accepted Answer

Not if it was registered before April 2025: an electric car first registered from April 2017 to March 2025 pays £200 a year and never the supplement. A later ID.4 pays it in years two to six only if its list price was over £50,000.

Question 4

Which engines does a new Volkswagen Tiguan or Tayron have?

Accepted Answer

Both come with 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid petrols, a 150 PS 2.0 TDI and 1.5 eHybrid plug-in hybrids of 204 or 272 PS, all with a DSG automatic. Below them sit the petrol T-Cross, Taigo and T-Roc, while the electric ID.4 and ID.5 run from 190 to 340 PS.
