Getting to Know the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan

The New Tiguan Has Arrived – Here’s What to Expect from This SUV!

We remember it like it was yesterday. The year was 2007, and Volkswagen was showcasing their brand-new SUV for the first time at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. It would be called “a breakthrough” and “a must-have vehicle” by countless industry professionals.

Over a decade-and-a-half later, the Volkswagen Tiguan remains a mainstay in the SUV category. It’s earned the reputation of being at the forefront of technology and performance while delivering drivers low cost of ownership and a comfortable cabin experience. Following the winning tradition established by its predecessors, the new Volkswagen Tiguan checks all the most important boxes with drivers.

• Need plenty of interior room? You got it! The new Tiguan comfortably seats up to five passengers in its ultra-spacious cabin.
• What about infotainment? The new Volkswagen Tiguan features plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained during big family road trips. Whether you’re listening to Billy Idol or Billie Eilish, the Tiguan delivers crisp, clear sound worthy of a concert venue.
• How does this new SUV perform in the safety department? We know your family is your most important cargo. You can rest easy knowing that the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. It’s also outfitted with the latest in intelligent driver assistance and safety features.

Let’s take a deep dive into why the new Tiguan is one of the leading SUVs in its class. Once we’ve covered that, we’ll provide some key info on where you can learn more about this vehicle and how to test drive it.

The Most Balanced Volkswagen Tiguan Yet

As a compact SUV, the Tiguan has a reputation of being just right in terms of size, storage, and power. It’s not too lean nor is it too bulky. With a cargo capacity of up to 73.4 cubic feet of storage, drivers will have more than enough room to stow their camping gear or luggage for their weekend getaway.

The new Volkswagen Tiguan also packs a punch under the hood. Outfitted with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Tiguan provides drivers with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. It can also haul up to 1,500 lbs, which is perfect for small trailers and flat towing. When the scenery and driving surface inevitably changes, Tiguan owners can switch their driving mode to what best suits the situation. This new SUV features four settings: off-road, custom off-road, snow, and on-road.

The new Tiguan also delivers in the fuel economy department, achieving up to 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Combine that with the low starting MSRP of just $26,950 for the base model, and you can see why this VW SUV is one of the best yet in terms of cost of ownership.
