The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan brings significant updates to both exterior and interior, focusing on enhanced comfort, technology, and performance improvements.

The exterior features a modernized design with rounder corners and connected LED lighting elements, aligning with VW's current design language. A light bar now connects the slender headlights across the front, while the rear sports connected tail lights spanning the liftgate.

Performance sees an upgrade with a new 4-cylinder turbo engine producing 201 HP, up from the previous 184 HP. The driving experience remains confidence-inspiring with responsive power delivery and a quiet cabin.

Interior highlights include:

• 17-inch multimedia screen with customizable interface
• Dual wireless phone charging
• Voice control with customizable wake words
• Massage seats in top trim
• Flexible storage solutions in center console
• 33 inches of rear legroom
• Two full sets of LATCH anchors

A notable addition is the European plug-in hybrid variant, offering 50+ miles of electric range. While U.S. availability is unconfirmed, this efficient option demonstrates promising potential.

The center console features an innovative dual-function dial for volume control and drive mode selection, complemented by customizable ambient lighting options.

An interesting detail reveals the Tiguan name's origin through subtle design elements: silhouettes of a tiger and iguana appear on the rear side windows, representing the name's combination of both animals.

Pricing, fuel economy figures, and U.S. market release dates will be announced as production begins.
