Volkswagen has unveiled the all-new 2025 Tiguan, showcasing a fresh design, enhanced performance, and a tech-packed cabin that brings the third-generation SUV firmly into modernity. With significant upgrades across the board, this reimagined Tiguan is poised to capture attention in the competitive compact SUV segment.
The 2025 Tiguan embraces a more athletic and streamlined look, departing from its predecessor’s conservative styling. Built on the MQB Evo platform, the new Tiguan features shorter rear overhangs, squared wheel wells, and a sharp body crease, contributing to a more dynamic appearance. Despite the visual changes, the SUV is larger overall, maximizing interior space without compromising agility.
Standard 17-inch wheels ground the base model, while 19- and 20-inch options enhance the SUV’s visual appeal. A rear spoiler adds a sporty touch, and aluminum construction in the suspension and body reduces weight by 170 pounds compared to the previous generation.
Under the hood, the Tiguan debuts an updated version of Volkswagen’s turbocharged 2.0-liter EA888 engine. Now producing 201 horsepower—an improvement over the previous 184 horsepower—the engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Models equipped with VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system see towing capacity rise from 1,500 pounds to 1,800 pounds, making the Tiguan a more versatile option for active families.
Fuel efficiency is expected to improve thanks to the weight reduction and new powertrain, though official figures remain undisclosed.
The Tiguan’s cabin gets a high-tech overhaul. Standard across all trims is a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit display, which integrates seamlessly with a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. Tech enthusiasts can opt for an even larger 15.0-inch display. Adding to the luxury feel are the two-zone Climatronic automatic climate control (with a three-zone option) and customizable drive mode settings paired with the SUV’s new “Atmospheres” feature, which synchronizes ambient lighting and audio.
In a nod to practicality, Volkswagen increased center console storage to 7.6 liters and enhanced the wireless charging pad to 15 watts, complete with a cooling system and a clip to secure smartphones. Buyers can elevate their listening experience with an available 12-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system. Whether you’re seeking a stylish daily driver or a tech-laden family SUV, the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan proves it’s ready to impress.
