Hello, friends. How are you? Today we’re talking about the third generation of the Volkswagen T1. A Volkswagen T1 that, throughout its first and second generations, has achieved very good sales figures. So much so that it can already be named the success of the sub-segment within the German brand. A car that has offered very good quality, good space, practicality, and a wide range of engines. Following this trajectory of the Twan, the Volkswagen brand in this third generation has changed the platform, a platform it shares with the Volkswagen Passat, and this also allows us to offer a new range of engines, especially more eco-friendly. Yes, because we’re currently working on the plug-in hybrid version. We have hybrid versions that also offer the eco label. In this case, the plug-in hybrid offers us the zero-emission label. But don’t worry, we also have diesel versions for those who want to keep that engine in their garage. So, here we are with this unit, the 204-horsepower Rline FB, a very attractive combination. So, let’s review it in today’s video. Intro and we’ll begin. [Music] Yes, sir. We show them to you with good humor. Real routes, no posturing. What you see here is on video. Ángel Alejandro and Alex in action. Serious testing. Live on YouTube. Online Supermotor Champion, no fuss. The good, the bad, all unvarnished. Get on the video. Let’s roll. Engine on. Ready to go. Well, let’s start with the exterior review. We see this Tijuan with a much more modern line, much more closely linked to the entire current Volkswagen range. And the main thing is this incorporation of LED matrix headlights, which also incorporate, uh, for example, the Touarec model and features the German brand’s Iculite technology. Of course, it also integrates the new light strip throughout this part of the fairing. Here we see the R signature and a bumper with a large area, a lot of gloss black surface. With this chrome, these silver elements are gone. Now we have these chrome elements, lots of gloss black, and a mouth with quite a few air intake shapes to emphasize, especially in this Rline trim, a much more aggressive and sporty look. Here we see a bit of the side, the entire area where we’re used to seeing matte plastics. Now we have gloss black. As we saw on the bumper, we see the wheel arches also marked in the sheet metal, and it fades right in this area as it reaches the door. In this case, the plug-in hybrid is quickly identified by this fuel cap right on the driver’s side. We see these very nice 20-inch wheels for the Rline trim, in a two-tone finish, with 25540 profile tires. Both wheels or both axles have the same size. We see that the lower part of the side skirts are in the same color as the body. This entire window area is also chrome-plated, and roof bars also have an aluminum effect. Here’s this rather characteristic area on the C-pillar of all generations of Tiguans, but obviously with slightly more curved lines, a more stylized line, right? But we’ve also maintained this side design with fairly low door handles compared to other models and this pronounced waistline here on the C-pillar. It’s a rather peculiar and honestly typical design, isn’t it? For example, in Golfs, we always notice a Golf at first glance, especially on the side, on the C-pillar; it’s very characteristic of all Golf generations. And in this case, they’re using the same formula with the T1, aren’t they? And I think it’s working. In this version, we get a sunroof and also a gloss black shark-fin antenna. We see here on the range this spoiler with a fairly good size and shape, large with the third brake light in the center. Taillights also feature Iculai technology with dynamic low beam and welcome lights. And here we see the rear end, a bumper also emphasized above all by the gloss black trim and these chrome details. There are no fake or real exhaust outlets either. Here we see a glimpse of the lower area and the T1 lettering in this lower central area and the plug-in hybrid version that It’s the E Hybrid. We see the Volkswagen logo there, a rear window wiper in the lower area of the glass, and well, a pretty nice line and a combination of both color and all the details, very, very successful in my opinion. What do you think? Leave it here in the comments. Let’s go inside. Well, let’s see the interior. We start with the trunk. We have a capacity of 490 L, but here there is a bit of difference depending on the model because the brand measures it up to the seat area and the double bottom may also be included, but in this case for the plug-in hybrid we have a much smaller space compared to the models, eh, both conventional hybrids and of course the diesel version. In that case, there is quite a difference, especially in the space under this floor. Eh, it still has quite a lot of space for the size of what we are in the category, right? We’re used to it. We see LED lighting on both sides, a 12V connector on the right side, the aciders to fold the seats, and a hook right on this side for our bags. We have rings to hold nets and holes on both sides. It’s a pretty appropriate format, really. We have an electric tailgate for this Rline version, and we see here a small rubber seal on the door that’s anchored or secured along with this tray to prevent noise. We see this entire area covered in typical plastic, right? But all covered. When we close the trunk, we won’t have any visible sheet metal, especially in this area. Here we see the safety triangle, although we already know this is being somewhat replaced by the emergency light, eh, like the beacon, okay? In LED light. And well, here we have the button to close the trunk, and we’re off to the rear seats. Well, gentlemen, I’m 177 cm tall, if you didn’t know. Well, if you haven’t subscribed to the channel yet, I invite you to subscribe and follow all our tests and get a little familiar with our way of explaining the videos and our key data, right? Our height and our approach to the tests, which are quite simple and non-technical to make them as practical and straightforward as possible for you. In each of these tests, we have a fairly good door opening, not reaching 90º, and we have a fairly generous opening in terms of clearance. I’m 1.7m tall, as I told you, and I don’t have to lower my head. A bit of an instinct, right?, to make the gesture, but we close. We have some sheet metal visible in this area, but it’s common, although Volkswagen wants to try to reach a more premium range, in this case it isn’t. We see hard plastic finishes here. Here, leatherette inserts, leatherette inserts in this area with white stitching, gloss black in this area. These acidic inserts that go here, these handles. Well, it could have been a little better finished, right? With some detail here in this area, but well, the surface feels good to the touch and is a good place to rest your arm. But, gentlemen, here I would have liked a little bit of height. Of course, the lower part of the door. We have a tray or a cup holder and storage space for carrying objects. It’s marked right on the outermost part of the door, but on the inside, if you touch it, it’s plastic, so it makes a bit of a noise. As for the finish, we have a pretty good finish because it’s the Reline finish, and this, well, highlights the details and the overall equipment a bit. We have a mixed leather and Alcantara upholstery, also with fabric with blue-and-white stitching. There’s a pretty nice mix, and the seat’s shape is good. It’s a medium-sized seat, actually, it’s quite good. It’s a sub-class seat, even though it has that sporty look, but it’s not a car dedicated to making fast corners or anything, but it holds well. Here, as for the leg area, it also has good width and length. I can extend my legs, and as for the knees, as you can see, I have more than two palms’ width right here. Even so, the padding is good. In these sporty half-backs, we see pockets in these backrests, and in the upper area, we also have a smaller pocket for items like a cell phone or something we want to carry here a little higher. In the area of the center console, we do have air vents with climate control because it’s a Three-zone climate control and two USB-C ports on the lower part for connectivity and charging. In this case, well, more than charging, okay? Because it’s not connectivity to the front screen, which on the front screen we do have another type of data connectivity. In this area, the tunnel is somewhat elevated and will surely be somewhat more uncomfortable, but also because we have this armrest, a fairly substantial armrest, it’s a bit hard, and we have this large, new-format plastic cup holder here, because here in this area we can leave a book or a cell phone, although here it suggests having information in a book, but well, we could also have a book, but I think it’s more designed for digital devices like a tablet or a cell phone, and having it arranged here and being able to watch our series or whatever we want to watch, a movie, and not having to have devices here in sight for it. And here, well, it unfolds to fit two cans and that’s it. We close it. But this reduces comfort for the center seat. A center seat that I honestly find uncomfortable because of the backrest. And the tunnel is a bit high. I can put my legs together for occasional trips. Yes. I’m not saying no. I think we could manage. And in terms of width, it’s not too bad. Okay, for three adults we could travel relatively comfortably. Of course, for families, don’t worry, we have anchors and sofas with channels, so we’ll have our seats well positioned and protect this upholstery. One detail, which I’ve seen in other models in the group, is this third anchor for the center seat belt, which has a kind of rubber or metal part that doesn’t help, so it’s completely exposed to the anchor, right? So, it’s great because it sits flush and doesn’t bother us when two people are sitting, but for three people it’s uncomfortable, especially if it’s one person, a child, or something. It’s a bit difficult to anchor this because you have to make some effort, a bit of a complicated ergonomics here, right? This is because in use, it’s given us that feeling and many people have told us the same thing, right? If you’d like to share your opinion on this, within the rules of politeness, leave it here in the comments, okay? And well, here we have the custodian-style window in the C-pillar, which also gives it a more illuminated look. And well, in terms of height, well, I have almost three fingers’ width here, and that’s despite the opening sunroof, which always lowers the roof a bit, and white LED lights on these sides. Here are hooks on the B-pillar to hang our coat or whatever we want. And here we also have a hanging rail and the rear grab handle. So, let’s move forward. Front seats, good access, no problem in terms of height, which is very common in these cars. And well, here we find a dashboard with a linear format that incorporates this gloss black element, accompanied by this instrument panel screen, and automatically we have the multimedia screen and this area with this effect, with a detail woven into the RDR line, and more air vents there. Let’s start the car, of course. Here we have the start button on the center console. The car would already be on. There we have the instrument cluster. Let’s change the display modes. [Music] Now it’s on. We change display modes, sport mode, traditional mode, minimalist mode, and we could change the options in the central part. ADAs system, the map. If we change the minimalist mode here, we have a wider view of the map. And here, in sport mode, that part is hidden from us. We keep changing. And well, here we can change what we want to display on one side, okay? And here also, consumption, average consumption. I’ll give you a bit of a spoiler for what we’ll talk about later. And well, here’s the screen with the new Volkswagen multimedia system, which they already promise to be more fluid and not have the flaws of previous generations. And in this case, well, it hasn’t given us any problems; it runs quite smoothly. Here we see all the apps like the weather, because everything is on the screen; we don’t have any physical buttons at all. Some details that I’ll tell you now, for example, we continue with the optical part for the temperature on both sides and the volume part precisely. Here. A detail, speaking of buttons, the steering wheel returns with physical buttons, so very good for Volkswagen for valuing all those opinions. Navigation, vehicle, we also have status, data, indicators, energy flow. The vehicle, also the driving assistance section where we can deactivate the sounds. For example, we have the driving modes: eco, comfort, sport, and individual. We can also make adjustments in individual, configuring, for example, the suspension to be sportier, less sportier, the entire steering, propulsion, everything in this model that incorporates this Tiguan. Of course, the atmospheres. Here we see all these preset atmospheres and the hybrid system. We can choose to go in 100% electric mode if we have a battery, or the hybrid mode where it mixes both worlds, electric and combustion, okay? And it tells us the battery. Right now, we have it depleted. We’ll talk now about the dynamics. And we have massages integrated into both the driver and passenger seats. Here, well, we see the climate. Let’s go here to select. We see how this entire area shows us the climate, purification. We can also regulate the rear air conditioning and even block it so it doesn’t change this temperature. Okay, here it goes into eco mode because it doesn’t detect anyone sitting down. As soon as someone sits down, it activates both zones. That’s it. Here we have a projection with the connect app and this entire summary area here, which allows us to configure many options. Okay? A very cool detail in the new Tuan is this button, this wheel that allows us to increase the volume or, by pressing it, change the driving modes. Okay, very cool. Here we have the electronic brake and the power button. Here we have this double tray, okay? Double inductive charging port, two USB-C ports with connectivity, and here this tray to carry this area separately. Here we have these two cup holders with key identification here on the console and the two cup holders with a 12 V connector. This glove compartment is adjustable in depth as well as height. Here we see the glove compartment, which is well-sized, yes, all in plastic; it’s not suede-coated, but it’s perfect for documents. There are also suede-coated door pockets and lighting to improve the interior quality. Here we have the entire lighting area and the opening and closing of the roof, as well as the opening and closing of the sunshade. Here are the mirrors with LEDs in this area, both passenger and driver, right? The photochromic mirror, and this entire area, also well-padded, with the speakers in the A-pillar. We see here this entire area for opening and closing the door, and this area is also backlit, which looks very cool. Everything with good finishes. Here it’s also padded; everything looks quite padded. Lighting here for opening the fuel cap, opening the trunk, and winding the windows. Everything with good finishes. The front door is very well finished. Here we have wipers, headlights, high beams, all in this single control, and the gear lever now sits here like on the electric models, since we won’t have manual models for the T1. A very cool detail that I’ve left for last before we get going, and I’m going to tell you about it right now. You know, Tiuan comes from that name, meaning something very special, and Volkswagen wants you to catch it the moment you’re in the car. And it has two details, many or I’ll show them. The rear door will have a tiger. This one on the driver’s side and on the passenger side, let’s see if you can spot it, an iguana, so it comes from tiger and guana ti wan. Well, friends, you’ve already seen that pretty cool little detail, both the iguana and the tiger Twan. And that’s it, it’s time to get going and see how this Tuan performs on the road. Join me. Well, friends, we’re already behind the wheel. Let’s start it. We’re going right now in comfort mode and we’re going to pass through our patch of uneven pavement. This unit already has 10,000 km, and we’ll see some creaking and misalignments. [Music] You feel something a little more in the front area, like in the front end, but also because of the rim size, 20 inches and with such a low profile it tends to transmit a little more vibrations, Right? But actually, the entire car in general—doors, console, seats—we haven’t noticed any creaks or squeaks of any kind, have we? And well, as I already mentioned, we have the engine or the 204-horsepower Eybrid version, which is paired, of course, with a 150- horsepower gasoline combustion engine, the 1.5 5 TCI, which, in addition to a 116-horsepower electric motor, combined delivers 204 horsepower at 350 Nm of torque. This offers pretty decent figures for a car that almost weighs 2 tons, right? It’s not quite there. And well, it has quite sub-compact shapes that might give you a touch more of an R-class appearance, right? But it’s not quite a sub-compact car. We have a six-speed DCG gearbox that also offers that comfortable dynamics within this whole hybrid combination of the new T1. We have more powerful engines, 272 hp, which, well, we’ll try to bring to the channel, but the weeks are what they are, and to bring so much content and so many cars, the truth is that we’d love to bring all the engines and all the equipment and all the versions that, of course, the brand has available, because today it’s not that possible. But we would like to be able to test each and every one of the models they offer to give you our impressions and our opinions, right? In this case, we’ll focus on this model itself, a plug-in hybrid that offers a range of close to 100-110 km depending on the brand, and of course, we’ve given an average of 95 and 100, so not too far from reality either. It offers fast charging up to 50 kW and alternating current charging up to 11 kW. Of course, it has a usable capacity of less than 20 kW, about 19.7 kW. Even so, I’ll include the data here for both the net and actual usable capacity. And with this, well, charging it even on an 11 or 3 kW home charger, depending on what you have, you can charge in about 6 hours, 4 hours quite quickly. In this case, well, it’s best to charge using fast charging and you’ll get it much faster, right? Well, it’s a car with good dynamics, a very balanced setup, it’s a comfortable car, but at the same time it’s quite versatile, right? In the moment. Now we’re in comfort mode. We select our modes here. We go to sport mode. The car already gains a little more reaction to the accelerator pedal, to the gas pedal, although it automatically switches to the combustion engine. At this point, we’re running with the battery practically depleted, although it always retains a small, uh, small capacity to maintain those supports from the electric motor, right? But obviously it’s running on the combustion engine. We have both gentle and more intense regeneration, or in automatic mode. Automatic mode, which , according to the map, works with the driving aids, sensing all the regenerative aspects of reading, braking, merging, and reading traffic signs. We have active adaptive cruise control. All of this, along with the driving aids, allows us to have a very safe and efficient driving combination. Of course, the suspension is comfortable. If we want to go a little faster in corners, the car obeys. Steering with a touch of firmness, but especially in sport mode, I would have liked a more radical touch, right? But hey, we’ll leave that for a hypothetical T1 R version, why not? We don’t know yet, but for now, we have this RLIN, and it’s the one we’re going to enjoy, at least for now. Of course, the braking has a short travel, as is customary for the regenerative aspect, and we automatically notice as if it bites more strongly. The driving position and the seats offer very good support; they’re very sporty. I have to mention something I was just thinking about and didn’t mention about the rear seats. In addition to being a very comfortable and well-shaped bench, it also moves longitudinally, which allows us to gain a little more trunk space and take advantage of the space if we don’t need as much space in the rear seats, right? So, if we bring chairs or something, this allows us to manage this space in the bench to our liking, right? And have more trunk space. Well, there we can build up our rear space a bit. And well, in terms of front ergonomics, We have a layout of all the elements slightly focused on the driver, which is appreciated. We have blind spot detection right here on the inside of the rearview mirror housing with a flashing light and a fairly large mirror. The photochromic interior mirror offers good visibility. The seat is a little lower, the rear window is slightly higher, and this allows us to have good rear visibility; it’s not as bad as other competing models. This car, well, has a range of about 650 km, almost 700 if we try, on pure gasoline. This is thanks to a 45 L tank, but adding those 100 or 95 km in electric mode, we’d be close to 800 km in total range. This is a very, very good figure. And well, in terms of consumption, as you’ve already seen a bit of a spoiler, we’re averaging about 7 to 9 kWh in battery power consumption mode and about 4.5 in this hybrid mode. If we’re on full throttle, it can go up to about 6 L, yes, but we’ve achieved those 4.5, even zero. If we’re always on battery and recharging, we won’t have any problems and we’ll practically never touch the gas at all. Only the ignition, uh, to adjust the combustion engine part when the car requires it. Or if we’re still in electric mode, if we fully press the accelerator, that thermal mode automatically kicks in as well, providing those 204 horsepower at full throttle, because obviously we have an electric part, but we also have the combustion engine part, 150 horsepower. And this is what I wanted to talk to you about. In other models and in other videos, we’ll be doing some very interesting stuff soon, hopefully. Uh, I talk about the power of cars when the batteries are depleted, when hybrid mode works. Each brand and each car has differences depending on the location of both the batteries and the electric motors, whether they’re generators or electric motors. In short, each one has different configurations, okay? And I try to be as practical and non-technical as possible in my videos , okay? For that, I leave out other channels, other colleagues in the profession who explain it in much more detail. These are their ways of explaining it, but here I try to be as brief and non-technical as possible so that a person without knowledge can get the clearest and simplest information possible, right? Tell me what I need more information for. Perfect, I understand, but I also try to reach those people who don’t necessarily have to be fanatics or deeply knowledgeable about cars, okay? That’s my humble opinion and it’s my philosophy in my tests, okay? So, this Volkswagen hybrid system offers interchange between hybrid and combustion engine, that is, the electric part and combustion engine very smoothly. The truth is that the moment it needs the combustion engine, it starts working without hardly showing you any kind of problem, right? In this test, at least, we didn’t notice that problem. The gearbox does have a slight lag in that transition, so to speak, in normal mode. If we play around with the accelerator pedal, we can notice that we even have a bit of power, right? You have to press that pedal, really, really hard, so that the car reacts, okay? And of course, switching to sport mode will help you get ahead of the gearbox’s reaction , a gearbox that automatically switches to sport mode and goes much faster. That’s what sport mode is for. So, let’s see, what I want you to understand is that you have to be very conscious of using the driving modes for what you’re actually going to use in your driving mode so that the car reacts the way you want it to. If you’re in comfort mode or even eco mode and you want to press it hard, the car will react, but there may be a certain lag that may even make it seem like the car lacks power or there’s a problem, which isn’t the case. It’s the driving mode that makes you think that. Automatically, if you have a lively driving rhythm and you don’t want to have those problems, I recommend you to take it. Always in sport mode, thus avoiding that potential failure or that potential lag, which isn’t a failure, it’s typical lag. Obviously, if you drive it in comfort mode, it seeks to reduce those reactions to optimize fuel consumption. As for sport, it forgets about that and aims to offer you all that torque and all that power at your disposal. A steering wheel with good dimensions, good feel. I really like it. Congratulations Volkswagen for bringing back touch buttons—well, physical, but they’re no longer aptic, and I really like that. So, friends, we’ll stop and tell you my conclusions. The third generation of the Volkswagen T1 is doing very well. First, because of its varied engine ranges. We have diesel, hybrid, gasoline, of course, and plug-in hybrids. These ranges are very consistent with what we’re experiencing today, with its own lineup of 100% electric models, but the TWAN stands out by maintaining its philosophy of offering engines that, in my humble opinion, are sensible for those looking for a car to travel without having to worry or account for, especially when it comes to charging . This plug-in hybrid version, like almost all of them, with a few very small exceptions, is 100% recommended that you have a charger at home or at your workplace where you usually have the car parked for longer periods of time—usually at your office, at work, in that case, or at home, of course. In that case, you have an average range of over 100 km, as you’ve seen in the dynamic section, for your daily commutes and, of course, you won’t have to touch practically any of the gasoline. Of course, you’ll have the peace of mind of traveling with that margin of approximately 600 to 650 km of range on gasoline. Of course, if we add the 100k of electric power, you’d get a range of about 100k for about 700km. Okay? In that case, I think it’s a very suitable car for those who want a versatile car for space and practicality, in addition to its design, but that’s very subjective. But a versatile car both in terms of space and for everyday use, and of course, for going on trips. Of course, if you want to forget about recharging and all that, you have your version and wide Castillas. Of course, if you go to cities with restrictions, the label issue will limit you, and that’s why the T1 will have the C e eco label and zero emissions. So, friends, for around €51,000 to €56,000 depending on the trim and version, in this case, the Hybrid can be a very good alternative. In this case, the Rline is offered with two types of engines: the 204-horsepower one we have here, and a more powerful 272-horsepower one. In that case, depending on your budget and how much power you want, you can choose it, but you’ll have to shell out a little more money. We’re grateful to Volkswagen Spain for the session of this third-generation Volkswagen T1, and to you for the visit.
