2026 Volkswagen Tiguan

The 2026 Tiguan lineup is structured with clear intent, each trim adding depth rather than distraction. Tiguan S establishes a confident starting point. A digital-focused cabin pairs a 12.9-inch center touchscreen with a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, supported by heated front seats, advanced keyless access, and a full suite of IQ.DRIVE® driver assistance features. It feels contemporary without feeling busy.

Tiguan SE introduces a more tailored atmosphere. Perforated V-Tex leatherette seating, a power liftgate, ambient interior lighting, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat enhance daily comfort, particularly on longer commutes or weekend travel. SE R-Line Black leans into visual confidence. Larger alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, black exterior accents, illuminated door handles, and R-Line interior details give the Tiguan a sharper presence. A head-up display reinforces its more driver-focused orientation.

At the top, SEL R-Line Turbo redefines what a compact SUV can feel like. A larger 15-inch touchscreen with navigation anchors the cabin, joined by ventilated and massaging front seats, heated rear seating, premium leather upholstery, and a Harman Kardon® audio system. Subtle lighting details and exclusive exterior signatures complete its flagship role.

Most Tiguan models are powered by a Turbocharged 2.0L engine paired with a refined automatic transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and confident highway manners.
The SEL R-Line Turbo steps decisively forward with 268 hp and 258 lbs. ft. of torque, providing stronger mid-range response and effortless passing power.
Available 4MOTION® AWD adds reassurance on wet coastal roads and during winter weather is common to central Maryland.

The Tiguan’s driving character is defined by balance. Suspension tuning favors composure, steering remains precise without feeling heavy, and available AWD enhances confidence across varying conditions.
The Driving Experience Dial allows adjustments to throttle response, steering feel, and drivetrain behavior, enabling the Tiguan to transition seamlessly from relaxed daily driving to more engaged highway travel.

Inside, the Tiguan offers a calm, well-proportioned cabin with excellent space efficiency. With the rear seats folded, cargo capacity expands to 69.8 cu. ft., accommodating boating gear, weekend luggage, or everyday hauling with ease.
Materials progress naturally across the lineup, from refined cloth to premium leather, while upper trims introduce ventilated front seats, massage functionality, multi-zone climate control, and expansive panoramic glass. The result is an interior designed for long-term comfort rather than short-term impact.

Technology plays a central, measured role in the Tiguan experience. Digital displays define the cockpit, while wireless App-Connect®, wireless charging, and available Wi-Fi capability keep devices seamlessly integrated.
The myVW platform enables connected services and remote vehicle access, adding convenience without complexity.
Available Area View camera systems and advanced parking assistance support confident maneuvering in tight marina lots and urban settings.

Every 2026 Tiguan includes Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE®, a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. Adaptive cruise control, lane assist, emergency assist, blind spot monitoring, and forward collision warning work together to reduce fatigue and support awareness.
Higher trims add overhead camera views and enhanced parking technology, reinforcing the Tiguan’s focus on intelligent, unobtrusive protection.
