2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Review

Stretch Out

The VW Tiguan offers loads of options for modern drivers. For instance, those with a growing family may choose to drive the VW Tiguan model with seating for seven passengers. This 3-row model has plenty of interior room for every rider to spread out and get comfortable, including 39.6 inches of front headroom, 39.1 inches of middle headroom, and 33.8 inches of rear headroom.

However, if you don’t need all that seating space, a 5-person SUV might be right for you. Luckily, the VW Tiguan is available in a 2-row configuration that offers 39.6 inches of front headroom and 38.9 inches of rear headroom.

You’ll even have a load of room for your luggage in this SUV, with up to 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space available when all rows are folded down flat in the 5-person model.

Dependable Performance

Since the VW Tiguan comes standard with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, this SUV can offer some seriously impressive performance abilities. In fact, it’s able to crank out up to 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque in the base model.

The front-wheel drivetrain offers dependable performance. However, if you need extra control, the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive option may be better suited to you. This enhances the vehicle’s traction by distributing power to the front and the rear wheels as needed.

Additionally, 4MOTION® is available with Active Control, a selection of drive modes that you can switch between while on the road. Choose from Snow Mode, On-Road Mode, Off-Road Mode, and Off-Road Custom Mode to achieve exactly the kind of performance you need.

Enjoy the Ride

The VW Tiguan comes with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, a unique feature that provides the most essential pieces of driver information on a high-resolution display screen behind the steering wheel.

Easy to view and intuitively designed, this intelligent display is exactly what you need when you're on the road. However, there’s also the available VW Digital Cockpit Pro, which offers a navigation system and customizable features for an even more convenient experience.

The many driver-assistance features of this vehicle will supplement your drive experience to make sure you feel confident on the road too. With Front Assist—which includes Forward Collision Warning—and Active Blind Sport Monitor—a part of the Side Assist Package—the VW Tiguan offers an extra set of eyes to watch the road.

Since no ride is complete without music, the VW Tiguan comes with App-Connect. This feature offers an instant connection to your smartphone through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
