Why Choose the Volkswagen Tiguan
Class-Leading Standard Tech
The standard 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen is among the largest in the compact SUV segment. The 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro digital instrument cluster is also standard on every trim — not gated behind upgrades.
SEL R-Line Turbo: A Different Tiguan
The top SEL R-Line Turbo isn't just a styling upgrade — it gets a meaningfully different 268-hp engine, standard 4Motion AWD, a 15-inch touchscreen, perforated Varenna leather, massaging front seats, and Harman Kardon premium audio.
German Driving Feel
The Tiguan tends to feel firmer and more composed at highway speeds than typical compact SUV competitors. The chassis tuning matters once you're cruising on I-5 or 78.

How the VW Tiguan Compares to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4
Compact SUV shoppers typically include the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 in their consideration set. Where the Tiguan stands out:
- Standard 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen — significantly larger than the standard screens on the CR-V or RAV4
- Standard digital instrument cluster — the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro is included on every Tiguan trim
- High-performance Turbo option — the 268-horsepower SEL R-Line Turbo offers performance neither the CR-V nor RAV4 currently match in their gas-only lineups
- German driving dynamics — the Tiguan tends to feel firmer and more composed at highway speeds
The CR-V and RAV4 offer hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options — areas where the U.S. Tiguan currently doesn't compete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the VW Tiguan have a third row?
No. The current third-generation Tiguan is a two-row, five-passenger SUV across all trims. Volkswagen removed the optional third row in the most recent redesign to provide more second-row passenger comfort and increased cargo capacity. If you need a three-row VW SUV, the Atlas is the right choice.
What makes the Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo different from other Tiguan trims?
The SEL R-Line Turbo is the top-tier trim and the only Tiguan with the 268-horsepower version of the 2.0L turbocharged engine (versus 201 hp on other trims). It also comes standard with 4Motion all-wheel drive, a 15-inch touchscreen, perforated Varenna leather seats, massaging front seats, and a Harman Kardon audio system.
How fuel-efficient is the VW Tiguan?
EPA estimates are 26 city / 34 highway MPG for front-wheel-drive Tiguans, and 22 city / 30 highway MPG for 4Motion AWD models — among the more efficient compact SUVs in its class.
How does the VW Tiguan compare to the Honda CR-V?
Both are strong compact SUVs. The Tiguan stands out for its larger standard infotainment screen (12.9 inches versus the CR-V's standard 7 inches), its digital instrument cluster, and the performance-oriented SEL R-Line Turbo trim. The CR-V offers hybrid powertrain options, which the U.S. Tiguan currently does not.
Is the VW Tiguan available with all-wheel drive?
Yes. 4Motion all-wheel drive is available on the S, SE, and SE R-Line Black trims as a $1,500 option, and standard on the SEL R-Line Turbo.
How much cargo space does the Tiguan offer?
Approximately 33-34 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to about 69.8 cubic feet with the second row folded down.
