The All-New 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan: A Review

The Tiguan is the best-selling Volkswagen SUV is in the U.S., and the all-new 2025 Tiguan model is set to turn everything we love about it up a notch. How? Well, it features bolder styling, enhanced fuel efficiency, and more power. Many important interior elements, such as the surface materials and the infotainment system, have been upgraded to boost drivers’ and passengers’ overall experience as well.

Let’s look at what other elements have been improved and upgraded in this redesigned midsize SUV to give you the best driving experience possible.

Best New and Improved Features of the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan

Power & Performance

The 2025 Tiguan has a 2.0-liter turbocharged EA888 four-cylinder engine that generates 201 horsepower. That’s a significant increase in power over the 2024 Tiguan. The 2025 also has better fuel economy than its 2024 predecessor because it’s 170 pounds lighter than that previous model. How is this weight saved? It comes from the aluminum suspension components and the hot-formed steel in the body structure.

These are the main power and performance features we know about at present for the 2025 Tiguan, but we’ll let you know when more details emerge.

Exterior

The Tiguan’s exterior has received a few changes, such as a shorter rear overhang, all-new sheet metal, and a slight wheelbase increase. It also has slimmer lights and a higher nose than the 2024 model, as well as a powerful shoulder line and an extended roofline. All these elements contribute to the Tiguan’s bolder and more expressive design.

The Tiguan also has new wheels. The standard aluminum-alloy wheels measure 17 inches, while the mid-range trims have 19-inch wheels, and the top trims get 20-inchers. The Tiguan also has three new color options: Sandstone Uni, Avocado Green Pearl, and Monterey Blue Pearl. These new offerings also contribute to the Tiguan’s bolder appearance.

Interior Features

As mentioned above, the 2025 Tiguan’s redesign includes upgraded materials in its interior. These materials include American walnut wood décor, upgraded Savona leather interiors, cloth seats with an embossed design, and a wrapped and double-stitched center console, which is now larger and has ample storage space. This console upgrade is possible because the designers moved the gear selector from the center to the steering column. Overall, these design changes and upgrades have given the Tiguan’s interior an upscale, elegant feel.

Tiguan Infotainment System Enhancements

Also mentioned above is the fact that the 2025 Tiguan’s infotainment system has been enhanced. What do those enhancements look like? Well, for one, there’s the next generation of standard Volkswagen 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro System.

Along with those systems that enhance driving, there’s also the central infotainment system itself, which has a standard 12.9-inch display and a rotary dial in the center console, along with the Driver Mode Select and Atmospheres options. The Driver Mode Select is, of course, the system that lets you choose which mode you want to drive in, based on what the weather and terrain are like. The Atmospheres feature provides synchronized ambient lighting and audio settings that you can select and personalize to set the mood in your Tiguan when you drive around in it. Overall, these infotainment system enhancements help you make the car your own while also helping you drive safely and effectively.
