The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan is a sporty all-wheel drive model that has recently been featured on major TV channels. It was the test vehicle of the week and proved to be a dependable workhorse in both city and mountain drives.
Sporty, with a 2.0L 16-valve DOHC turbo 4-cylinder engine, it provided strong performance linked to an 8-speed automatic USA 4Motion transmission and Mexico-manufactured engine. The combination powertrain works well with an overall warranty that includes the powertrain of 4-years/50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The transmission shift rests adjacent to the steering wheel with an easy dial to D, R, and P. This is a point and drive vehicle, well equipped with Colorado weather options such as heated outdoor side mirrors, and heated windshield wiper nozzles to keep that snow melted off the windshield. The Tiguan rides on 17” wheels with all season tires, has silver metallic roof rails, and a power lift gate that can expand with fold-down rear seats. The rear seats are very friendly with comfortable passenger leg room.
The Tiguan has a classy exterior design with a VW grille, “Pyrite Silver” metallic paint, and all-around LED lights. The Interior is a “Grigio Black” leatherette with V-Tex seats and leather wrapped and heated steering wheel. The driver enjoys a power seat, and the front seat passenger has manual seat adjustments. The heating and cooling is controlled by the 12.6-inch multi-function touchscreen. Heating and cooling can be adjusted by simply sliding a glass control to maintain cabin temperatures. The sound system features seven-speakers and has a convenient sound control dial to easily adjust the radio volume.
The Tiguan has the latest safety features along with 10-airbags and electronic stability control and brake pressure distribution. Cameras give a clear view for pedestrian and cycling monitoring along with cross traffic alerts. VW has the best engineers in the business and all of the electronics safety features function well and are appreciated in today’s busy highways.
This Tiguan is a tough competitor in the marketplace with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $33,795 for a well-equipped SUV, with all-wheel drive and 30 mpg highway mileage.
An easy drive, plenty of power, loaded with safety features, comfortable seating, front and rear, and easy on the pocketbook.
