2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Fully Redesigned on MQB Evo Platform, More Efficient 2.0L EA888 Engine

Wedoany.com Report-Nov 22,Volkswagen of America unveiled the all-new 2025 Tiguan, the automaker’s best-selling nameplate in the US. The 2025 Tiguan features bolder styling, more power, and enhanced fuel efficiency. The Tiguan has been fully redesigned on the MQB evo platform with all-new sheet metal, a shorter rear overhang, and a slight wheelbase increase.

The third generation of Tiguan benefits from next-gen infotainment and user interface for a tech-forward experience. The next generation of Volkswagen’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro system is standard, and a new central infotainment system with MIB4 features a standard 12.9-inch display alongside a rotary dial control located in the center console for easy adjustment of volume along with Drive Mode Select and new available ‘Atmospheres.’ Atmospheres combine synchronized ambient lighting and audio settings for a harmonious blend of sight and sound that enables you to tailor the vehicle's mood to your preferences. Up to five preset Atmospheres are available, as well as a Custom selection.

Under the hood of the 2025 Tiguan, the 2.0-liter turbocharged EA888 four-cylinder engine now makes 201 horsepower, up from the previous 184. In addition to the power upgrade, the new Tiguan weighs around 170 pounds less than the outgoing model, helping both fuel economy and acceleration.

EPA-estimated fuel economy is not yet available and will be released at a later time. The weight savings are in large part due to the use of aluminum in the suspension and high-strength hot-formed steel in the body structure.

Volkswagen continues to prioritize passenger safety as a cornerstone of brand identity. The vehicle introduces four new airbags: driver knee, center, and rear side airbags, for a total of ten. The 2025 Tiguan also includes VW’s sophisticated suite of IQ.DRIVE Level 2 driver assistance features standard across all trims. This includes Travel Assist (level 2 semi-automated driving assistance); Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring); Active Blind Spot Monitor; Rear Traffic Alert; Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go; Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System); and Emergency Assist (semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency). Light Assist, Park Distance Control, and Exit Warning are now standard, and Park Assist Plus is available.

Availability and pricing of the all-new 2025 Tiguan will be announced closer to launch.
