2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Revealed with 201bhp Turbo-petrol Engine, 17-inch Aluminium-alloy Wheels and More

Volkswagen has revealed the redesigned Tiguan for the US with greater power, an upscale interior, and modernised technology. The third-generation model is built on the MQB evo platform Instead of the previous MQB A unit. It weighs around 77 kg less than the second-generation model due to the incorporation of aluminium in the suspension and body structure. Volkswagen has not yet revealed dimensions, but the new Tiguan is 2 inches shorter in length due to lower front and back overhangs. However, it gets a bit longer wheelbase. 

With a rear spoiler, squared wheel wells, and a noticeable, sculpted line running along the body, the 2025 model looks sharper. The sleeker headlights, and an illuminated VW mark adds to the distinctive character. The car comes with standard 17-inch wheels, but for a more eye-catching look and improved performance, you can upgrade to 19- or 20-inch ones. The new paint options for the model include Sandstone Uni, Monterey Blue Pearl, and Avocado Green Pearl. Read on for more details.

2025 Volkswagen Tiguan: What’s New?

The new Tiguan is propelled by a revised 2.0-litre EA888 turbocharged engine. This unit has an eight-speed automatic transmission and a maximum power output of 201bhp, a 17bhp increase over the previous 184bhp. Although the torque value has not been disclosed, it is anticipated to remain constant at 221Nm.

In addition to the powertrain, both technology and craftsmanship within the Tiguan have advanced significantly. The cabin may come with opulent features like quilted leather upholstery, American walnut wood trim, and seats with heating and cooling capabilities as well as a massaging option for extra comfort, depending on the variant selected.

Other notable features include 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen (optional larger 15.0-inch display), a head-up display, and two-zone automatic climate control (three-zone is optional). For a user-friendly interface, the car's principal functions are physically accessed through buttons on the centre console and dash. Additionally, buyers have the option to upgrade to a new 12-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system.

The third-row option will no longer be available for the 2025 model. The automaker claims that the 2025 Tiguan, which can accommodate up to five passengers, will only be offered in North America as a two-row SUV.
