VW Tiguan Available Configurations

Available Configurations

When shopping for your ideal 2021 VW Tiguan trim level, you’ll have five options, each with their own unique features:

  • S
  • SE
  • SE R-Line Black
  • SEL
  • SEL Premium R-Line

The S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL trims are all standard with a front-wheel drivetrain but offer the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system. At the SEL Premium R-Line level, you’ll get the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system as a standard feature. This will ensure optimal traction at all times by monitoring the power being sent to the front and rear wheels.


VW Tiguan S

With this entry-level model of the Volkswagen Tiguan, you can expect features such as:

  • LED taillights
  • App-Connect
  • 6.5-inch touchscreen display
  • Power-operated, heated side mirrors

The VW Tiguan S configuration also comes standard with a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that offers up to 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it’s also standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes Tiptronic® mode.

Drivers with this trim will also be treated to a standard Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Traffic Alert. This system utilizes sensors to detect when there’s a vehicle riding in your blind spot. This is a key feature to have when you’re looking to stay safe on the highway.

Not only that, but this trim also comes standard with Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, which uses sensors to detect when you’re coming close to another vehicle. If your SUV finds that a collision is likely, it can automatically engage the brakes to prevent a collision. This is really helpful for avoiding fender benders while in stop-and-go traffic.

Finally, this Volkswagen trim also gives drivers a standard auto-dimming interior rearview mirror.
