Thanks for the advice everyone. We did test drive one yesterday. My notes:
Test drove a Comfortline FWD, quite liked it. Had the active safety package with just enough features (blind spot, auto braking, active cruise), nice cloth interior, good visibility, nice solid drive, carplay.
However came back and it turned out they didn’t actually have the AWD, surprising both us and the salesman. Lots of the mid grade Highline versions, but no Comfortline (non sunroof, which avoids a big potential issue). Disappointed as we had mentally settled on buying it
Should add the interior was simple, but a definite step up from the Tiguan we rented last fall. Maybe from an earlier generation of VW design
