Moving into its third generation, the Volkswagen Tiguan offers substantial upgrades, both inside and out. As the best-selling SUV in Volkswagen’s lineup, the Tiguan sets the tone for new exterior styling, upgraded technologies, and a feature-rich cabin.
The exterior of the Tiguan now features a wider grille that gives the SUV a more planted stance, while flared fenders further accentuate its presence. The bold front end includes slimmer LED headlights with available Adaptive Front-lighting System and Light Assist high-beam control. At the rear, LED taillights come standard in a connected design. Higher-trim models enhance this look with a lit rear logo for an even more striking appearance on the road.
Under the hood, a key mechanical enhancement is the updated 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, which now produces 201 hp—up from 184 hp in the previous model. This increase in power is complemented by a weight reduction of approximately 170 pounds, achieved through the use of more aluminum and high-strength steel. The drivetrain retains Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, now paired with improved Drive Mode Select for various conditions and even better responsiveness.
Inside, the third-generation Tiguan impresses with its upscale interior, characterized by a clean, elegant aesthetic and a new infotainment screen as its focal point. Standard is a 12.9-inch touchscreen, upgraded to a 15-inch touchscreen in the Highline trim. The infotainment system includes multi-phone pairing, HD Radio, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto connectivity, and AI-enhanced voice controls. Volkswagen’s generative AI-enabled voice assistant is available through a subscription in the myVW mobile app.
The 2025 Tiguan can also be equipped with a variety of convenience features. Standard equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a wireless phone-charging pad, and a 10.25-inch digital driver display. Higher trims add ventilated front seats, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, quilted leather upholstery, and a massage function for the front seats.
Pricing for the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan starts at approximately $36,500 for the Trendline trim and rises to $47,495 for the Highline trim. It’s available now at OpenRoad Volkswagen Burnaby.
