Volkswagen confirmed the 2025 Tiguan will cost $30,920 including a $1,425 destination fee when it arrives this summer. That's $615 more than the current Tiguan.
VW unveiled a new Tiguan for the rest of the world in 2023, and the U.S. version closely resembles that model. However, it misses out on the global Tiguan's plug-in hybrid option, debuting with only a 2.0-liter turbo-4, but VW has hinted that a hybrid option may be added at some point.
The 2.0-liter engine is rated at 201 hp, which is up 17 hp on the output of the outgoing Tiguan's 2.0-liter turbo-4. The engine is hooked to an 8-speed automatic, and drives the front wheels as standard and all four wheels with the available all-wheel-drive system. Towing capacity is 1,500 pounds for the FWD Tiguan and 1,800 pounds when AWD is added.
In addition to the power bump, the new Tiguan weighs around 170 pounds less than the outgoing model thanks to the use of aluminum for some of the suspension parts and more high-strength steel for parts of the body. VW said the lighter weight results in improved fuel economy and acceleration, though the automaker is waiting until closer to the market launch to publish performance figures.
