Volkswagen officially started selling the all-new third-generation Tiguan in the United States, unveiling pricing and specifications: the redesigned 2025 model features upgraded design, improved performance, and advanced convenience features.
Pricing and Specifications in the U.S. Market
Volkswagen’s U.S. division released detailed pricing and specifications for the new Tiguan, signaling the start of its sales campaign. The U.S.-spec Tiguan is based on the long-wheelbase variant sold in Europe as the Tayron. Unlike the previous Tiguan Allspace, this model is only a five-seater with no third-row seating.
Standard features include Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit Pro with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch infotainment display. Other base equipment includes a leather steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and wireless smartphone charging.
The vehicle also includes standard key ADAS features, like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. Higher trims add all-wheel drive, a 15-inch infotainment display, Harman Kardon premium audio, and tri-zone climate control.
Additional premium options include 10-point massage front seats, quilted stitching, 30-color ambient lighting, and parking assistance systems.
The base price starts at $29,495, and the top trim costs $39,755. This represents a $615 increase from the previous generation.
Key Innovations and Performance Upgrades
The new Tiguan’s exterior includes a redesigned front with LED headlamps, a longer wheelbase, and shorter front and rear overhangs that enhance interior space. The U.S.-spec Tiguan is 4,800 mm (189 inches) long with a 2,791 mm (110 inches) wheelbase, similar to the Kia Sorento. Cargo capacity ranges from 345 liters (12.2 cu ft) to 2,090 liters (73.8 cu ft).
Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that now produces 204 hp (201 hp U.S. spec), up by 17 hp from the previous model. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is offered in front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD).
Interior features include a 12.9-inch touchscreen and a 10.3-inch digital instrument panel. Optional upgrades include 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, and a blind-spot warning system.
Future Electrified Variant
Volkswagen may introduce a plug-in hybrid version of the Tiguan in the future. This addition would expand the lineup and offer more options for buyers interested in electrified powertrains.
