The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan line-up was recently announced, sparking excitement among automobile enthusiasts. With several changes to the design, the line-up is expected to attract a wider audience. The new model features extensive interior upgrades while retaining a familiar exterior design. The company has reintroduced a few physical buttons. That, in addition to some other overhauls, modern technology, and practical design, will help the car maintain its position in the market.

1. Exterior

Volkswagen has consistently upgraded the Tiguan’s design and finish with each new generation. The latest variant of the automobile comes with an appealing exterior without being extravagant.

2. Engine

The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan carries the same engine as the previous models. The car is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. However, the car does offer improved engine power.

3. Interior

The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan sees major improvements in the SUV’s interiors, giving it a cleaner and classy look. The car now offers some physical buttons. The steering wheel now features hard toggle switches that are replacing the problematic capacitative touchscreen buttons. This streamlines navigating, taking calls, or changing music while driving. Even the central panel now features a knob for volume control. A 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro screen displays all the necessary details in one place. The cabin space is more airy and open, setting expectations for better leg space and freedom of movement. The carmaker has done a great job offering a clean-looking interior, making the car appear more classy. With upgraded trim levels, the company offers premium decor options. Additional features include heated seats, massaging seats, three-zone climate control, and a heated steering wheel. There is also an “atmospheres” feature that synchronizes the interior cabin’s light and audio settings to blend in with the driving atmosphere that one prefers.

4. Cargo

With the additional length of the 2025 Tiguan, there are expectations of better cargo space. Additionally, the newer models do not offer a third row of seating. Additionally, the second row features a 60/40 split. This means almost half of the second row can be folded down for extra cargo space. Depending on the seating requirements, the second row can offer seats for one or two people.

5. Infotainment

The standard screen featured in the new Volkswagen Tiguan is a 12.9-inch touchscreen display. However, buyers have the choice to upgrade to a bigger 15-inch screen. These screens are powered by the upgraded Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro system program. Another standard feature to look forward to is the wireless charging pad. People who are keen on having a good listening experience in their car would be glad to learn that the trim levels include a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

6. Safety

The new VW Tiguan is set to receive upgrades in the safety department as well. The new line-up receives four additional airbags. The additions are targeted in the driver’s knee area, center area, and rear area. This brings up the total count of the airbags in the car to a whopping 10. This is a massive upgrade when compared to most other cars in Tiguan’s segment. All trims in the new Tiguan line-up come with forward-collision alert as a standard safety feature. A blind-spot warning system and automatic braking are additional standard safety features. The cars also offer lane-keep assistance and lane-departure warning. The standard adaptive cruise control assists in safer driving practices with a lane-centering feature.

7. Pricing

The new Volkswagen Tiguan line-up offers six trim levels people can choose from. The base model, the VW Tiguan S, is priced at a starting point of $31,000. The prices of the line-up are expected to go up to $45,000 as the starting rate for the highest line-up. Going ahead in the line-up, the SE comes in next at $32,000, and the SE R-Line Black costs $35,000. Both the SEL R-Line and the SE PHEV are estimated to start at around $40,000. The highest trim in the line-up, the VW Tiguan SEL R-Line PHEV, is expected to start at $45,000. Since the carmaker hasn’t finalized the pricing for these models, automobile enthusiasts must note that these rates are subject to change before the official launch.

With a more powerful engine, improved fuel efficiency, and a range of new technology features, the 2025 Tiguan will cater to varying driving needs, including long drives, cargo hauling, and family trips.
