I drove a Hyundai Tuscon in the USA in 2014 and found it undergeared a bit. IE doing 65MPH and wanting to pass somethiing it booted down two gears at least and revved out to 6000rpm (redline territory) Was a bit unerving actually.

In opposition also drove a Ford Kuga which went as well and didnt do the same If I was buying a vehicle like that would go for the KUGA.
Same size similar price.

Drove a Tiguan loaner here and found it gutless compared to the Passat
