2025 Volkswagen Tiguan

The 2025 Tiguan offers four distinct trims: S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL R-Line, each designed with bold exterior elements and functional enhancements. LED headlights and taillights come standard, giving the Tiguan a sharp, modern look day or night. Higher trims bring in blacked-out accents, larger alloy wheels, and sporty R-Line details for a more aggressive presence. Roof rails, chrome window surrounds, and available panoramic sunroof add extra practicality and appeal. The SE R-Line Black trim emphasizes stealthy sophistication with dark exterior elements and 19-inch wheels. The SEL R-Line tops the range with 20-inch alloys, unique bumpers, and a more premium, athletic design. Each trim is designed to turn heads while remaining practical for daily driving.

Under the hood, every 2025 Tiguan is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, giving it strong mid-range acceleration and confident merging power on Texas highways. The engine is tuned for both efficiency and smooth power delivery, making the Tiguan an excellent option for both city commutes and long-distance travel. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while Volkswagen’s 4MOTION® all-wheel drive is available for added grip and control in variable weather. Responsive and balanced, the engine delivers a composed experience behind the wheel. Its quiet operation and minimal vibration enhance everyday comfort and driving ease. It’s an engine built for reliability, versatility, and consistency.

The Tiguan’s refined suspension and well-weighted steering deliver a balanced ride that feels agile yet composed, even over uneven Austin roads. The 8-speed transmission shifts seamlessly, offering smooth transitions whether you're navigating traffic or cruising down the highway. Available drive modes let you tailor the driving dynamics to fit your lifestyle, from Eco to Snow mode when paired with 4MOTION®. Ride quality is firm without being stiff, and road noise remains impressively low inside the cabin. The all-wheel-drive system responds quickly to changing conditions, giving drivers added confidence in rain or on dirt roads. Cornering feels stable thanks to precise handling and a solid chassis. The Tiguan strikes a rare balance between practical comfort and engaging responsiveness.

Inside, the Tiguan offers a spacious, well-organized cabin with seating for up to seven passengers with the optional third-row. Standard features include a digital cockpit display, heated front seats, and a user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system with App-Connect. Higher trims add luxury touches like leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, and ambient interior lighting. The second-row slides and reclines, providing flexible cargo and passenger arrangements. Storage is generous, with clever cubbies and a wide center console. The layout feels clean and modern, with soft-touch materials and subtle metallic accents throughout. Everything is designed to keep drivers connected and passengers comfortable on every drive.
