Volkswagen Tiguan

The controls take some getting used to from the column shifter to the wiper control that's on the left stalk to temperature controls that are done through the large infotainment screen. The screen is vivid but many common tasks take a multi-step process to execute. The customizable instrument panel is a bit fussy but at least the steering wheel controls used to interact with it are physical buttons. There's a multifunction knob in the center console for volume and drive modes. Fit and finish is above the class's standards. A full complement of active safety features is standard and includes Emergency Assist, which slows a vehicle to a stop and turns on the hazard lights if the driver becomes unresponsive.
