Volkswagen's popular Volkswagen Tiguan compact SUV is back for the 2025 and 2026 model years with some exciting updates. While the overall design remains similar, there are a number of key differences between the two model years that shoppers in West Chester, PA and the surrounding areas will want to be aware of. Let's take a closer look at how the 2025 and 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan compare.
Exterior Styling Refresh
For 2026, the Volkswagen Tiguan gets a mid-cycle refresh with some noticeable changes to the exterior design. The front fascia has been updated with a more aggressive grille and reshaped headlights that give the SUV a sharper, more modern look for driving around Garnet Valley, PA. LED headlights and daytime running lights now come standard on all 2026 Tiguan trims. In the rear, the 2026 Tiguan sports updated lights and a restyled bumper.
Interior Updates
Inside, the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan benefits from an updated interior with higher-quality materials and new available features. Volkswagen's latest MIB3 infotainment system now comes standard, with a larger 8-inch touchscreen display on all trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also now standard for more seamless smartphone integration. A new available 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit display offers crisp, configurable gauges.
Kennett Square, PA drivers will appreciate that heated front seats are now standard on all 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan trims for those chilly Pennsylvania mornings. Ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available on higher trims. The spacious and versatile interior still offers seating for up to seven passengers with an available third row.
Performance & Efficiency
Both the 2025 and 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan are powered by a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, with Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system available on all trims. For 2026, the powertrain has been retuned slightly to improve fuel efficiency. EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan is up to 26 miles per gallon combined.
Advanced Driver Assists
All 2025 and 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan models come standard with Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE driver assistance technology. This includes Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping System. For 2026, IQ.DRIVE has been enhanced with Travel Assist, allowing for partially automated hands-on driving up to 95 miles per hour in Wilmington, DE.
The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan also gains an updated version of Volkswagen's Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which can help prevent secondary collisions by automatically applying the brakes when a primary collision is detected.
