Comparing the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan with the Competition

The all-new 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan has been turning a lot of heads lately. Not just its new exterior design, but an elevated interior that everyone is talking about.

Cars.com had a chance to drive the new 2025 Tiguan to see how it has evolved into this latest generation model. They tested the SEL R-Line with standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive.  

The 2025 Tiguan is powered by a 201-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that puts down 221 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers power to either a front-wheel drive system or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.  

The Tiguan continues to be one of the most versatile vehicles in its size class. Cars.com noted its “nimble, confident handling and comfortable ride.” Something we know you’ll appreciate when traversing our highways and turnpikes.  

While the exterior sports the latest in Volkswagen design, it is the interior that won the Cars.com team over. Cars.com adds “[t]he power front seats weren’t just easy for me to get comfortable in as a shorter driver; even the tallest member of Cars.com’s Editorial staff found it to be a comfortable vehicle to sit in, with ample headroom in both rows.” As for the amenities, they said that the front seats “don’t just offer heating and ventilation but allow you to position the heat or ventilation exactly where you want it on the seatback and bottom cushion.” 

The 2025 Tiguan SEL R-Line comes standard with Digital Cockpit Pro, which provides information when you need it. It is augmented by a head-up display that keeps you informed while keeping your eyes firmly on the road. Infotainment has never been seen and felt better with the 2025 Tiguan SEL R-Line’s 15-inch touchscreen display, designed to improve the user experience through quicker functions and readability. Through App-Connect, you can connect your smartphone to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

The 2025 Tiguan also offers standard IQ.DRIVE, a suite of driver assistance technologies designed to keep you safe on the road. These features include Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Emergency Assist.  

In summary, the Cars.com concluded that “if comfort is your biggest priority and its luxurious extras in a reasonably priced compact SUV are worth it to you, get the Tiguan SEL R-Line.”
